The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), defined by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda, represent a global action plan to eradicate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. For modern businesses, integrating these SDGs into their strategy is not only a way to contribute to a better future, but also a factor in attractiveness and credibility.
At Neary, we've integrated several of these goals into our business model. By offering fresh, local fruit baskets to businesses, we're promoting inclusion, sustainability, and workplace well-being.
Find out how Neary supports the SDGs and why this makes us a partner of choice for businesses looking to take a responsible approach.
1. What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
The SDGs are a set of 17 global goals created to address our planet's most pressing challenges. Adopted by the United Nations in 2015, they cover economic, social, and environmental aspects to promote balanced development. Some of these goals directly concern businesses, such as social inclusion, reducing carbon footprints, and promoting responsible consumption patterns.
Businesses play a central role in achieving these goals because they have the ability to take concrete and sustainable action on their environment, whether by promoting inclusive practices, reducing their ecological impact or supporting the local economy.
2. How does Neary support the Sustainable Development Goals?
At Neary, we've developed a fresh fruit distribution model that aligns with several SDGs. Our practices are designed to have a positive impact on our employees, our customers, and our environment.
Goal 3: Good health and well-being
One of the pillars of our mission is to improve employee well-being in the workplace. By offering baskets of fresh, seasonal fruit, we encourage healthy eating habits and contribute to a healthy work environment. Fresh fruit provides essential vitamins and nutrients that promote concentration, reduce stress, and increase employee energy. This simple gesture of offering fruit is part of an approach to promoting workplace health, in line with SDG 3.
Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth
Neary is proud to partner with employment services and institutions. By entrusting this task to people with disabilities, we contribute to their professional integration and the development of their skills. This inclusive business model supports SDG 8, which aims to promote decent work and inclusion in the economy. Our clients know that by choosing Neary, they too are contributing to a more inclusive and caring economy.
Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production
Our fruit is sourced from local and French producers and selected based on seasonality. By reducing imports and favoring short supply chains, Neary supports sustainable agriculture and helps reduce its carbon footprint.
Our packaging is also 100% recyclable and reusable, in an effort to limit waste. By opting for responsible consumption, Neary demonstrates that it is possible to offer quality products while preserving the planet's resources, in line with SDG 12.
Goal 13: Combating climate change
Combating climate change is a priority for many companies, and Neary is no exception.
By choosing short supply chains and eco-friendly transport methods, we minimize the carbon footprint of our business. We opt for bicycle deliveries in urban areas to limit CO₂ emissions, and our fruit is produced without excess transport, thus supporting SDG 13.
3. Why integrate the SDGs into your business strategy?
Integrating the SDGs into your strategy is not only good practice for the environment or society; it is also a performance lever for businesses. Tomorrow's consumers and talent are increasingly sensitive to the ethical values and social impact of companies. By aligning with the SDGs, a company can:
- Strengthen its credibility and attractiveness with its customers and employees.
- Increase employee satisfaction by contributing to a larger cause.
- Reduce costs by optimizing practices to limit waste and carbon footprint.
Neary understands that the future is being built now, and we are proud to be among the companies taking action toward sustainability.
