LEAF Marque is a globally recognised, independent assurance certification for sustainably produced food and farming. The certification promotes sustainable farming by rewarding high environmental standards, enhancing biodiversity, and building climate resilience through responsible land, water, energy, and soil management. It also supports continuous improvement across farms and supply chains while providing consumers with a trusted, recognisable mark for environmentally responsible food production.
At the start of 2025, Fresh Direct committed to ensuring that 100% of its contracted British growers would achieve LEAF Marque certification by January 2026. We are delighted to congratulate Fresh Direct on successfully reaching this goal, becoming the first UK foodservice business to achieve 100% LEAF Marque certification across its contracted British growers.
This is a remarkable milestone and a testament to the dedication, collaboration, and commitment shown by the Fresh Direct team and its growing partners in supporting a more sustainable future for British produce.
“Fresh Direct are championing LEAF Marque across their UK fresh produce sourcing, reinforcing their environmental ambitions.”
