Our Commitment

Creating lasting value.

Responsible farming is essential to the long-term success of agriculture, communities, and the environment. Through responsible resource management, community investment, and sustainable growing practices, we aim to make a positive contribution beyond the harvest.

Our Principles

Responsibility in action.

Our commitment extends beyond producing premium fruit. Through responsible farming practices, careful resource management, and investment in people and communities, we aim to create a positive and lasting impact.

Our focus areas

Where care takes shape.

Four focus areas guide how we farm, manage resources, and support the people around us.

Water Stewardship

We treat the Okavango River's water as a shared gift, using every drop responsibly to keep the river clean and thriving for generations to come.

Community Impact

We work alongside our community to turn farm growth into opportunity — creating jobs, building skills, and celebrating shared success.

Bees & Pollination

Healthy hives mean healthy harvests. We work with carefully managed bee populations to pollinate our blueberries and sustain the life of the farm.

Responsible Farming

Through careful resource use and responsible farming practices, we keep our land productive and our berries thriving season after season.

Our ESG commitments

What we hold ourselves to.

We work closely with our stakeholders and keep partnerships transparent - managing risk and building lasting value across the environment, our people, and how we govern.

Blueberries are a nutritious food with a light environmental footprint. A sustainable farm serves its market, its consumers, and its workforce at once - growing quality food while keeping practices ecologically sound, protecting biodiversity, and using every natural resource efficiently.

To stay accountable, our work maps to three recognised frameworks - each measured across Environment, Social, and Governance.

Our pledge

Through our ESG framework we invest in our people, our environment, and the communities around us - for a long-term, sustainable impact. As stewards of good corporate citizenship, we lead with openness, accountability, and respect, continually aligning the farm to a global triple bottom line.

Sustained growth is required, particularly in the poorest regions, to catch up with decent living standards and to live a life of dignity, opportunity and hope.
