OUR ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL POLICY STATEMENT

At Orlar, we offer a practical solution to one of humankind’s greatest challenges – producing food for a growing population with less resources – in the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions.                       

Our commitment is to continue innovating whilst providing clean jobs for more people; ensuring supply chains are lean, green, equitable and fair; our materials and products are sustainable, and clean food reaches those that need it most.       

We will never lose sight of ever-greater possibilities to deliver positive impacts to people and planet, as we focus on what we make, how we make it and with whom we partner to be the most efficient food producers on the planet.

Orlar’s goal is to transform lives and landscapes. We outline below four key aims that demonstrate our commitment to the preservation of native biodiversity, the minimal consumption (and conservation) of natural resources, and improving the wellbeing of people, both in and outside the organisation.
