They deliver your step-by-step recipes and all the fresh pre-portioned ingredients you need, straight to your door.
The old “what do you want to eat?” conversation is about to be banished from your life. Welcome to a world where dinner is always planned, simple, and delicious.
HelloFresh believe everyone deserves honest, delicious food. That’s why they make it super simple to prepare home-cooked meals that bring out our inner creator and bring us together with loved ones.
Because good food nourishes our bodies, and great food nourishes happiness.
As part of their mission to change the way people eat, they are constantly finding ways to help you balance your carbon footprint. HelloFresh commits to offsetting all the direct CO2 emissions caused by their internal operations and offices, plus all emissions from corporate travel and delivery to their customers. They do this by investing in green initiatives via their partner Planetly. By completely offsetting the carbon footprint of their deliveries, they support you in making green choices and boost environmentally friendly projects throughout the world.
They source your ingredients directly from the producer and deliver to your home without any detours. Your recipe box comes with pre-measured ingredients which helps to avoid food waste. This shorter supply chain means they avoid packaging and repackaging along the way. As a result, your HelloFresh meals create 25%* fewer carbon emissions than the same meals made from supermarket ingredients. HelloFresh have now launched Climate Conscious recipes in their boxes. These recipes are responsible for the lowest amount of CO2e emissions on the weekly menu and produce at least 50% less carbon emissions than the average HelloFresh meal. Climate Conscious recipes are just as convenient, tasty and balanced as their other meals, but give you one more way to make every day sustainable food choices with HelloFresh. Where food comes from is as important as how it tastes.
