Sustainability

Our sustainable ethos means Planet, People, and Process

Looking toward the future, we see a world where our planet and its people thrive and flourish for generations. Our collective responsibility is to preserve our environment, crystal waters, rich soil, and pristine air. At Mavuno, we take this responsibility close to our hearts. 

Every element of our business is crafted upon a foundation of sustainability. We take no action without first considering its impact on the environment. With outstanding commitment and care, these are the steps we’re taking towards a better future.

We have assigned a full-time manager under our compliance department to oversee sustainability issues. We seek to keep abreast of knowledge, technologies, and processes that indelibly mark this topic.

Mavuno’s three pillars of sustainability

Our sustainability efforts focus on three key areas: Planet, People and Process

By striving for environmental excellence in each of these pillars, we aim to do our part to safeguard the cherished land that provides our magnificent natural bounty.

Mavuno Avocados - organic produce

Planet:
Our Precious Environment

Mavuno Organics predominantly works with contracted individual farmers who grow avocados in their legal lands. Our recruitment of farmers is guided by our observation of environmental stewardship and the farmer’s commitment to good agricultural practices.

Mavuno - Our People - Our Socio-economic Impact

People:

At Mavuno, our workers and growers are essential to our extended family. They are the engine that keeps us moving forward, and their health and well-being are our ultimate priority. We recognise their vital role in our socio-economic impact and consider them as part of our extended family.

Our Governance

Mavuno’s dedication to sustainability is brought to life in every small and singular detail of our company. However, our unwavering commitment to the bigger picture keeps us on our unshakeable journey ever forward. Behind that big picture lies our exceptional governance.
Why choose Mavuno

Fairtrade

We have secured some markets for Fairtrade-certified avocados with our buyer, Eosta BV. This is very good news to producers in East Africa who are willing to come together and form a common marketing approach that seeks to secure fair prices that are also sustainable.
Mavuno - Our Farmers

Our Farmers

Mavuno’s farmers are guardians of the land and caretakers of the birthplace of our extraordinary produce. With tireless dedication and endless care, they nurture each crop into being. Ensuring every element is primed to produce the perfect harvest Mavuno’s customers have come to expect.
