Green Workplace Environment
Overseas Food Trading is on course towards becoming a Zero Waste company with a green office policy. We offer a sustainable green work environment for our employees so they can perform and grow to their fullest potential. We partner with associations and donate extra inventory every month to reduce food waste, which makes up roughly 35% of the US food supply.
Our office perks include electric car chargers, composting site, recycling center, paperless incentive... to name a few.
Carbon Neutral Company
We have proudly been carbon neutral since 2016! As importers and food experts, we also know that it is necessary to be working towards sustainable logistics.
Carbon neutrality refers to offsetting CO₂. In our case, it means for example, maintaining a forest that sequesters the same amount of CO₂ that we emit.
Total annual emissions offset : 2,302 MT CO₂e

Natural Ingredients
Bringing healthier food items into the market is a priority, that is why we work closely with our suppliers and try to upgrade our ingredients and offer the most sustainable version of our products. We focus on offering a selection of items that meet the consumer’s changing preferences. That includes sourcing a range of items that are palm-oil free, GMO-free, organic, plant-based, made with local ingredients, cage free eggs and more. Offering healthier products to the market is a mission our company values strongly and one that we are constantly working to advance.
