Climate action measures
Who we are and what we do for sustainable developmentWe are Hale, a young organic company based in Upper Austria. As a creative and dynamic young company, we create exclusively vegan organic products out of love for life and love for people. From Italian almonds and coconut from Sri Lanka and the Philippines, we produce the vegan Gut Bio Ghurts with the most care, technical expertise and attention to detail, they are good for us and good for our environment.
Vegan and organic by convictionWe are convinced that both organic food production and a vegan diet promote ecological, sustainable development. For us, however, there is no either-or and we believe that especially with the combination of both we can make our contribution and the world a little bit better. Because in doing so, we save emissions, conserve resources, preserve our soils and promote biodiverse plant and animal life.
Produced with green electricity and renewable thermal energyThe fact that all our yogurt alternatives and drinks are 100% plant-based and organic is not enough for us because that alone does not make our products sustainable. To further reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, we work exclusively with green electricity in our production and purchase low-emission or renewable thermal energy. Our processes, machines and work equipment are energy-efficient.
More and more better packagedWe are aware that packaging is ecologically problematic and represents a major challenge in tackling our environmental problems. We know that we have a responsibility to help reduce packaging waste. Because we take this responsibility seriously, we now do not use plastic snap-on lids and are therefor able to avoid waste. We also reduced the weight of our yogurt pots last year and can save around 30 tons of plastic each year alone with this.
Social commitment for all stakeholdersWe are aware that sustainability is more than ecological commitment. Our motivation is love of life and the environment on the one hand, and love of people on the other. Because social values are at least as important to us as ecological ones, the appreciation of our employees, flexible working hours, fair pay, as well as training and further education opportunities are a matter of course for us. We also work on an equal footing with all external partners, whether customers, suppliers, media or authorities.
