Sustainability in Food Wholesale
Hotels, convenience shops, catering companies, restaurants, delicatessens – food wholesalers supply a wide range of large consumers with a wide range of fresh products to non-food items every day.
While it used to be about large packaging at affordable prices, the sustainable transformation and changing market requirements now mean that wholesalers have to meet trends such as slow food and organic vegan to clean eating. And while the focus used to be on logistics to the customer, today the industry must ensure high product quality and compliance with increasingly strict environmental and social standards along the supply and production chains.

Regional production, animal welfare and better husbandry, energy efficiency and zero food waste concepts are just as important topics as smarter packaging and innovative logistics and mobility solutions in order to deliver emissions-saving and short-term deliveries to customers. Transformative food wholesalers ensure more natural and regional foods in their product ranges and play a crucial role in making production and consumption styles sustainable.
The industry includes, for example, the wholesale trade in food and beverages, beverages and tobacco products as well as agricultural products.
