Rising raw material prices, growing challenges - this is what the VdF says about the situation in the fruit juice industry 💡 The latest figures confirm what we are all experiencing: poor harvests of key fruit varieties such as apples and oranges have led to a significant shortage in the market and pushed raw material prices to unprecedented levels. This is not an isolated incident - weather-related crop failures, strongly influenced by climate change, are becoming the new norm for many types of fruit. 🍎🍊 For consumers, this means that high-quality natural foods are becoming increasingly valuable. #EckesGranini #JuiceMarket #FruitJuice

What is the sum of 2,070 Team Rynkeby cyclists plus 1,200 kilometers plus 538 committed supporters and 4,500 sponsors from all over Europe?🤔🚴♀️  8.7 million euros raised for a good cause!💪 Looking back over the past months, it has been a strong season for Team Rynkeby: With this year's international charity cycling event, a total of 8.7 million euros were raised. And since the start of the project in 2002 Team Rynkeby has raised more than 100 million euros for children with critical illnesses.

Shared routes for more sustainable operations 🚚🌱 By sharing delivery routes and trucks with EDEKA Südwest and Kaufland Deutschland, Eckes-Granini Germany is optimizing its logistics and significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Fewer empty runs, fewer emissions – a real win not only in terms of logistics and cost savings, but above all for the environment! These partnerships are a big step forward that we plan to expand to other routes in Germany in the future. In addition, the pooling of cargo space has the potential to serve as a model for other cooperations. 💪🌱 #EckesGranini #Sustainability #Environment

Sustainability is a multifaceted issue – let's tackle it together! End of September, we proudly marked our 4th Eckes-Granini Sustainability Day. From mental health and occupational safety to reducing food waste and our charity work with Team Rynkeby: enriching impulses were experienced in many of our national organizations to raise awareness of our sustainability goals and initiatives. For us it is key to come together as a team to create meaningful change. 🧘♂️ In Austria, our colleagues focused on health and wellness by running sports and nutrition workshops, helping with harvesting and learning about fruit growing at a local fruit and juice farm, as well as raising money for sick children and organizing a blood drive. 🧃 In France, our team deepened their understanding of sustainable packaging, exploring how we can reduce waste and improve environmentally friendly practices. A clean-up initiative around the factory and forest near the Paris office underscored the importance of this issue. 🍊 In Denmark, the focus was on how to strengthen our position as the most sustainable beverage brand and the role of employees, for example by reducing food waste. Also, the team focused on our collaboration with Team Rynkeby. 🚴♂️ In Finland, our colleagues focused on Team Rynkeby, and in keeping with the theme, they discussed bicycles as an alternative means of transportation in the future. There was also a first aid training. 🍊 The German team followed the fascinating journey from farm to table, highlighting the importance of sustainability in all aspects of our value chain. ♻ In Spain, Sustainability Day was all about recycling and learning how we can improve our efforts to minimize waste and protect our planet by visiting a recycling factory and listening to a presentation by the NGO ECOEMBES. 🌍 In Sweden, our team discussed the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and what we as Eckes-Granini can do to achieve them. Each country brought a unique focus, demonstrating the diversity of our sustainability efforts within the Eckes-Granini community. Thanks to our local teams for bringing all these facets of sustainability to life! #EckesGranini #Sustainability #Environment #SustainabilityDay

We did it again and even better than last year! 🏃 🚲 Together we broke our record of 8,560 km and were able to cover an amazing distance of 10,431 km during our “Bewegungswoche” (Exercise Week). Another round of our Eckes-Granini Deutschland Exercise Week, inspired by the annual trip to Paris from the Charity-Team Rynkeby Foundation, was a complete success. 💪 During the week, we planned several activities for our employees in Nieder-Olm. Together we enjoyed table tennis, yoga, crossfit and many more exciting activities. 💸 Organized by our #YoungTalents Team, we collected one euro per kilometer. Employees from all locations in Germany were involved and were able to reach a total of 11,000 euros – what an amazing result! The donation amount will be sent to a fund of the German Childhood Cancer Foundation, which finances the treatment of children with cancer. #EckesGranini #TeamRynkeby #Sustainability
