NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nBlue Apron (NYSE: APRN) announced today that it has joined the United Nations Global Compact<\/a> (UNGC), the world\u2019s largest corporate sustainability initiative. With over 16,000 company participants from over 160 countries, UNGC is a voluntary initiative based on the belief that corporate sustainability starts with a company\u2019s value system and a principles-based approach to doing business.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs a UNGC Participant, Blue Apron is committed to elevating its role to show the different ways it can help drive the outcomes of the United Nations\u2019 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\n<\/p>\n

\nIn addition to joining the UNGC, Blue Apron\u2019s Vice President of Culinary, Chef John Adler, has joined the UN\u2019s Chef Manifesto, a global community designed to help deliver good food for all. Chefs can play an important role in driving action as they are on the front lines of their communities and have in-depth knowledge of food system value chains, expertise in creating delicious, nutritious meals, and a passion for seeing people come together around the table.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSince our founding, we\u2019ve focused on sourcing responsibly, supporting regenerative agriculture and fishing practices, reducing food waste throughout the supply chain, and, when possible, donating surplus food to food banks in the communities where we operate,\u201d said Adler. \u201cBy joining the Chef Manifesto, we look forward to collaborating with chefs and thought leaders in the culinary world to further our efforts, share our approaches and learn from others who have done remarkable work in support of this goal.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nBlue Apron is focused on several SDGs, with special attention on SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) as they are aligned with the company\u2019s vision of Better Living Through Better Food\u2122.
