OFFSETTING OUR EMISSIONS
Efficient kitchens in Zambia
To offset the carbon emissions we generate and reduce the impact of our carbon footprint, we collaborate with a project in Zambia that reduces smoke emissions in households by providing much more efficient wood stoves.
CONTRIBUTION IN KENYA
Your order, their future
When placing an order with ApetEat, you can make a financial contribution to an NGO (Bamba Project) working in Kakernet, Kenya. Their work focuses mainly on supporting children, covering basic needs such as food, health, and education. They also promote other projects to improve community life, especially supporting local women.
HELPING THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST
Zero waste, more solidarity
We work to reduce food waste by optimizing our practices and donating surplus (leftovers) to vulnerable families through Fundación Áurea and other organizations (#zerofoodwaste).
SOCIAL AND RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTS
Shop with awareness
We collaborate with suppliers who share our values. For example, we work with AUARA (a social water company), whose goal is to bring water to areas of Africa where countless people live without easy access to drinking water.
RELIEF DURING THE PANDEMIC
Our support for healthcare staff
During the pandemic, we launched the "ApetEat Help" project to support healthcare staff. We donated thousands of meals (over 2.5 tons) to hospitals and health centers, recognizing and thanking them for their effort and commitment to the well-being and health of everyone.
With this initiative, we sought to provide tangible relief and show our support for those who were committed to public health and well-being.
INTEGRATION INTO THE LABOR MARKET
Opportunities to grow
We believe in equal opportunities and improving people’s quality of life. That’s why we offer jobs to people in situations of vulnerability, risk, or social exclusion, promoting an inclusive, supportive, and respectful work environment.
EQUALITY AND OPPORTUNITIES
Empowered women at ApetEat
We promote equal opportunities and pay between men and women. Currently, more than 80% of leadership positions at ApetEat are held by women. In addition, we help improve the lives of women in Zambia by reducing the time they spend cooking and collecting firewood, thanks to the efficient kitchen project we support.
