Eating more plant-based food today could lead to gradual positive change for our environment tomorrow. That's why we're so passionate about crafting delicious food. But we don’t stop there! We have been on a mission to make our journey regenerative and reduce impact from soil to serving. That means contributing to the soil, biodiversity, reducing carbon intensity emissions, and taking steps towards better packaging. And, of course, creating products that taste absolutely delicious and are easy to prepare. That’s why we’re committed to getting more people to join us on our mission.
Garden Gourmet – where taste feels good.
How We’re Creating
A Better Tomorrow – Today
Our commitments
On The Rise With
Regeneration
We source soy from regenerative agriculture, representing more than 50% of the soy we used in 2026, and continue to explore opportunities to further support these practices.
Our Emissions
Mission
100% of our soy protein is sourced from Europe – aiming to keep our footprint as low as possible at every step.
No Time
To Waste
Our packaging seals in every bit of freshness and flavour and is recyclable. In 2024, we cut packaging material by 36%, helping to minimize waste.
The Power Of Plants
We believe that the more people embrace plant-based food, the better the environment will be.
On the rise with regeneration
We believe in a regenerative future.
We know the importance of addressing climate change to protect our planet - every single action matters. That’s why we are supporting a way of farming that benefits farmers, the environment, and society - known as regenerative agriculture.
Regenerative farming practices are approaches to farming that, over time, can support healthy soil and improve biodiversity. And these aren't new methods - humans across the world have used them for thousands of years.
From 2022 to 2025, we partnered with our soy supplier in Serbia and a non-profit called Preferred by Nature, to help bring regenerative farming practices to life, a collaboration that helped shape how we source today.
Building on what we learned, we now also source soy from farms in Croatia practicing regenerative agriculture.
Watch how our early partnership in Serbia laid the groundwork and how it evolved into the way we source today. Building on what we learned, we now source soy from suppliers practicing regenerative agriculture, representing more than 50% of the soy protein used in 2026.
Our Emissions Mission
External studies* suggest that plant-based products can have a low footprint. At Garden Gourmet, we are committed to reducing ours even further. We performed a complete analysis** of our business to find the three most important areas to reduce our carbon emissions: ingredients, operations and packaging.
Quality ingredients and farming practices are key to great food. We're committed to trying to reduce our carbon footprint from soil to serving. Which is why the soy protein we use is grown and sourced from Europe.
Meanwhile, we're not slacking when it comes to our factories. We are delighted that all our factories in Czech & Serbia in Europe already use 100% renewable electricity. Nice!
Another crucial part of reducing our emissions is reducing our packaging footprint - and that's exactly what we did and will keep doing.

No Time To Waste
It’s essential to us that our packaging seals in every bit of freshness and flavor, is recyclable - and looks great too. But we wanted to go further, creating packs that tick all those boxes while being lighter and made with care for the future.
In 2024, we have removed the paper sleeve from the tray packaging, with a design that’s not only recyclable but has 36% less packaging than before.
