Easy wins to eat more sustainably

Everyone’s food choices matter. Choosing plant-rich foods and certified products from responsible sources can contribute to a more sustainable diet.

​We have many plant-rich options to choose from and we are committed that they will always be the same price or lower that the meat-based alternatives. Have you tried our delicious plant balls or our tasty plant-rich nuggets in our restaurant? You can buy them from our Swedish Food Market to take home for your next meat-free Monday.

We love meatballs. But we also love to try new things. Eating less meat and more plants is better for the planet. So that's why we love our plantballs, too. Learn more

Tips for making better food choices

Mix it up

Eating a plant-rich diet is one of the most significant actions an individual can take to reduce their climate footprint. So why not add some variety to your next dinner plate? Vegetables, beans, legumes and grains are plant-based and contribute to a healthy, balanced diet.

Take small steps first​

Small steps can be the most effective way to change your habits in the long term. One small but impactful change could be having meat play a smaller role on your plate, either by filling it up with greens first or by mixing some veggies into your favourite dish. Or why not introduce 'meat free Monday' with family and friends?​

Eat responsibly sourced salmon

When salmon comes from Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC)-certified farms, many aspects of the farming process are independently assessed and certified – from how the feed is responsibly sourced to how the farm can lower its environmental impact.

Choose coffee and chocolate with care

A product with the Rainforest Alliance (RFA) seal means that the certified ingredients are produced using methods that support the three pillars of sustainability: social, economic and environmental. For over 30 years, the Rainforest Alliance has been promoting responsible agriculture. By choosing certified products like coffee and chocolate, you're playing your part.

Get food from your home farm​

If you buy your herbs from the supermarket and repot them in well-drained soil, then you won’t have to keep buying new herbs every time you make a meal. Not only is it convenient and a great way to maximise what you have, but it can also save waste and, potentially, money too.
