PLANET FIRST
THE EARTH IS PART OF OUR FAMILY
At Freshly we believe that if we all value and love our planet, we will quickly and irreversibly be moving towards products and technologies that will be able to preserve it, thus becoming aware of our actions and change for the better. Our planet Earth is part of our family and it is necessary we take care of it. Planet First
That is why behind every Freshly product, there are people with passion carrying out sustainable actions and projects like these.
MORE THAN 270,000 TREES PLANTED IN COLLABORATION WITH WE FOREST
Since the beginning of our adventure in 2016, we have been collaborating with We Forest, the NGO that generated the greatest impact in the world by planting more than 27 million trees. Every purchase you make at Freshly, you'll be collaborating with planting trees in the most affected areas by deforestation in Zambia and Brazil. In the last 4 years, we've already planted more than 270,000 trees.

OUR REFILL SYSTEM HAS ALREADY AVOIDED THE PRODUCTION OF HUNDREDS OF CONTAINERS.
In just 9 months, thanks to the possibility to refill your Freshly packaging in our stores in Madrid and Barcelona, we have already avoided the production of hundreds of new containers, thus promoting responsible consumption and circular economy.
SDG UN: Goal 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
95% OF OUR PACKAGING IS 100% RECYCLABLE GLASS, ALUMINUM, KRAFT AND WOOD
We work tirelessly to develop the most sustainable packaging for your Freshly products, using glass, aluminum, kraft paper and wood. We are currently working on projects that will help us to create packaging even more sustainable.
SDG UN: Goal 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
OUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN MORE THAN 99% OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS.
We use more than 99% of natural ingredients of responsible and sustainable production, thus avoiding completely the use of polluting raw materials, such as mineral oils or flammable petroleum gases.
SDG UN: Goal 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
ENSURE SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION PATTERNS
We preserve marine life by avoiding the use of microplastics in our body scrub and toothpaste. In addition, our sunscreens incorporate physical filters, such as zinc oxide, which don’t alter the marine food chain, significantly reducing its contamination.
SDG UN: Goal 14 Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources
WE PRODUCE ALL OUR PRODUCTS IN SPAIN
All our products are produced and packaged locally in laboratories in Barcelona, our aluminum containers are manufactured in Álava, our labels in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia and our recycled cardboard boxes from sustainable forests in Zaragoza and Amposta.
SDG UN: Goal 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
WE DESIGN SUSTAINABLE ACCESSORIES THAT GENERATE A GREAT IMPACT
We create complementing products that greatly improve the environmental footprint of our homes, such as the Reusable Organic Cotton Pads, made in Spain with GOTS certified organic cotton, which save 1,500 disposable cotton pads per person every year. Also, our bamboo toothbrush is a sustainable and biodegradable alternative to plastic toothbrushes.
SDG UN: Goal 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
WE USE GREEN ELECTRICITY
In our Freshly offices we produce 70% of the energy we consume with our own photovoltaic installation, and we will switch to 100% certified green energy in all our offices, logistic centres and stores by the end of 2020, ensuring that the energy supplied to the grid is from renewable sources.
SDG UN: Goal 7 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy
WE CREATE SUSTAINABLE WORKSPACES
Our offices have been designed with sustainable architecture, making the most out of sunlight, using plants to create thermally regulated spaces (optimising +/- 4ºC) and recycled wood to build our meeting rooms, and installing low-consumption LED lighting. In addition, in our Freshly Stores we use mostly birch laminated wood for the construction of all furniture, which is the most renewable wood from European forests.
SDG UN: Goal 11 Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
THE ENTIRE FRESHLY TEAM IS COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY
At Freshly Park we all use our own mugs with our name, we bring cloth napkins and we use reusable water bottles that we refill thanks to our own production of osmotic water, avoiding the consumption of hundreds of kg of paper and plastic per year. We also avoid printing as much as we can, and when that’s not possible, we use recycled paper. We don’t have agendas, everything is digital and we encourage the use of a shared car, electric scooter or bicycle every day.
SDG UN: Goal 11 Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
AT FRESHLY WE CARRY OUT A SOCIAL ACTION EVERY MONTH
The entire Freshly team is involved monthly in local social actions. During the past year, we collaborated with an animal protection association, donated 110 kg of second-hand clothing, made two clean-ups on the beaches of Barcelona and Sitges and donated toys to children without resources.
