Creating a win-win

It's not just a matter of doing the right thing – it’s also good for business. By incorporating sustainability into your marketing strategies, industrial bakeries appeal to more environmentally conscious consumers. Plus, 81% of people are willing to pay more for sustainably produced products. It's a win-win!

There are many different ways to make baking more sustainable. For example, using sustainably sourced ingredients like organic flour or locally grown fruits and veggies. 78% of consumers are interested in products made with these materials.

It's time to make the switch to a more sustainable lifestyle. Renewable energy sources are the way of the future and are expected to make up 60% of new power capacity by 2030. Industrial bakeries can reduce their waste by using compostable or recyclable packaging materials or by donating excess food. Consider becoming part of the growing movement towards sustainable food production and make a difference in the world. Together, we can create a brighter and greener future!
