In our highly connected digital world, transparency is hugely important. People want to know more about who is providing their food and drink, how they are made and where they are made. Business, social and cultural change has brought sustainability to the fore in the national and international discourse. Citizens, consumers, customers and colleagues are in search of leadership and positive action.

Origin Green is Ireland’s pioneering food and drink sustainability programme, operating on a national scale, uniting government, the private sector, farmers and food producers. It is a voluntary programme, led by Bord Bia (the Irish Food Board), that brings together our food industry – from farmers to food producers, retailers to foodservice operators – with the common goal of sustainable food production.

This programme enables Ireland’s food industry to set and achieve measurable sustainability targets that respect the environment and serve local communities more effectively. Crucially, Origin Green is about measuring and improving how we do this on an ongoing basis. Independent accreditation and verification are built into every stage of the supply chain.

When you source from an Origin Green member, you can rest assured you are sourcing sustainably.
