Company Commits to Drive Outcomes Through
Alignment on Sustainable Business Practices
Blue Apron (NYSE: APRN) announced today that it has joined the
United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest corporate
sustainability initiative. With over 16,000 company participants
from over 160 countries, UNGC is a voluntary initiative based on
the belief that corporate sustainability starts with a company’s
value system and a principles-based approach to doing business.
As a UNGC Participant, Blue Apron is committed to elevating its
role to show the different ways it can help drive the outcomes of
the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“We are a carbon-neutral meal-kit company that is focused on
bringing incredible recipes to our customers while promoting
planetary and dietary wellness for everyone,” said Linda Findley,
Blue Apron’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud
to join UNGC as we believe it will allow us to glean insightful
best practices while continuing to hold ourselves accountable for
our progress.”
In addition to joining the UNGC, Blue Apron’s Vice President of
Culinary, Chef John Adler, has joined the UN’s Chef Manifesto, a
global community designed to help deliver good food for all. Chefs
can play an important role in driving action as they are on the
front lines of their communities and have in-depth knowledge of
food system value chains, expertise in creating delicious,
nutritious meals, and a passion for seeing people come together
around the table.
“Since our founding, we’ve focused on sourcing responsibly,
supporting regenerative agriculture and fishing practices, reducing
food waste throughout the supply chain, and, when possible,
donating surplus food to food banks in the communities where we
operate,” said Adler. “By joining the Chef Manifesto, we look
forward to collaborating with chefs and thought leaders in the
culinary world to further our efforts, share our approaches and
learn from others who have done remarkable work in support of this
goal.”
Blue Apron is focused on several SDGs, with special attention on
SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 3 (Good Health and
Well-being) as they are aligned with the company’s vision of Better
Living Through Better Food™. Blue Apron intends to report on its
actions with the company’s planned annual ESG reporting.
