Borges Moves Up the Sustainability Ladder with Their Recent Green Measures

Borges, the most popular taste of the Mediterranean, claims to be “committed by nature” amidst the current 2020 environmental awakening. To be fair, their equitably steady presence in the Mediterannean foods market since 1896, does showcase a commendable track record with regard to taking the subject of ‘commitment’ quite seriously. 

After breaking into the nitty gritty of their sustainability drive, we’re thrilled to take note of some of the recent heartfelt and conscious efforts Borges is taking for the betterment of our world that we share. 

Let’s begin with the numbers, shall we? Borges’s renewable-energy consumption rate gleams at a staggering 94% - this means that 94% of all the energy used in their processing plants is generated from renewable sources. Suffice to say this is no small feat, especially when the brand holds a primary presence in over a hundred countries with large scale production in a multitude of categories. To really understand how Borges’s green leap directly impacts our personal footprint, we have here a list of wins to be proud of for the next time you restock with Borges in the pantry:

• They recycle well - All Borges glass bottles contain up to 80% recycled glass in the case of green glass
• They contributed in lowering the CO? emissions – By switching to energy from renewable sources, Borges avoids releasing 8,820 tons of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere every year.
• They have a direct hand at suppressing the grotesque palm oil industry.

Hold up before you toast to that for there is definitely much more to Borges going green, enter Eco Natura– an organic gamechanger for the Mediterranean platter. Eco Natura is every bit the sun-soaked, romantic Mediterranean feast – oils, vinegars, nuts, pasta, pesto and olives, you name it - but only better as it checks all the right boxes with regard to clean labelling, certified organic quality and perhaps most importantly, sustainable farming methods. Now, cheers to that!

Borges set foot on Indian shores back in 2009 and they have never looked back since. They were quick to win over Indian hearts when they brought with them the willingness to offer something especially made for the scrumptious Indian kitchen. For instance, they learned of our fondness for thick, creamy milk in our dishes and presented to us the most perfect versatile, dairy-free nut milk products that couldn’t complement our cuisine any better. The addition of rice & the choice of nuts give their products a natural sweetness, thick consistency and an amazing taste, needless to say they were aided well by their hundred and twenty-year-old Spanish expertise and heritage.

And you probably didn't know that Borges Is one of the world's largest firms dealing In Nuts. Borges owns over 2400 hectares of nuts farms In Spain, USA and Portugal with sales of over 35000 tons In 62 countries. No wonder, Nut milks come naturally to the brand.

We have to our avail one of the most genuine and skilled players in the market giving us the best of health with an awakened environmental conscience – a characteristic many corporations need to acquire at the earliest. And while we continue to voice our demand for more sustainable steps to be taken by the food industry, Borges brings to you a perfectly seasoned moment to savour.
