OUR IMPACT
At GrowUp, our impact is at the heart of what we do, which is why we’re thrilled to share our 2023 Impact Report! This report is more than just numbers; it’s a testament to our unwavering commitment to our purpose: Better food for all.
This year has been one of remarkable growth, innovation, and purpose-driven achievements, and we’re excited to share the milestones we’ve reached. We also believe in full transparency, so we’ve included the goals we didn’t quite manage to achieve as well.
Although it’s a big part of what we do, our work isn’t just about growing great-tasting, long-lasting leaves; it’s about nurturing a positive impact on the environment, our communities, and the entire food supply chain.
With that being said, we invite you to leaf through our Impact Report to explore the details of our journey and celebrate our collective successes. Dive into our Impact Report and discover more here.

WE’RE A PURPOSE-LED BUSINESS
Our Impact is at the heart of everything we do. We’ve been hard at work rethinking how food is grown, cutting down the negative side effects of farming. Pesticides? Never. Chemical run-off? Not in our farms. We’ve dialed in our farming process to use less water and waste from farm to fridge. The result? Fresher, tastier food that’s grown smarter, not harder.
Our farm at Pepperness is even built on brownfield land, meaning we didn’t have to disturb local biodiversity—just one more way we’re being kind to the planet.
But we didn’t stop there. We’re tackling one of the biggest challenges in vertical farming: Energy! Our farms are designed with renewable energy in mind, so we don’t depend on non-green sources. And with Pepperness located right next to a bioenergy facility, we’ve got access to 100% green energy and heat, all day, every day. This lets us create the perfect growing environment for our plants without tapping into fossil fuels—and that’s a win for the planet.
DOING THE BEST FOR
OUR WORKERS, OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR CUSTOMERS.
Unlike traditional farming, we don’t have seasons, so we don’t use seasonal workers. We regularly ask for feedback to make sure everyone is happy, fulfilled, and feels valued. If not, we’ll make any improvements we can to help. We want everyone working at GrowUp to feel supported and given the room they need to grow.
NAMED THE SUNDAY TIMES BEST PLACE TO WORK TWO YEARS IN A ROW.
We’re pleased to have been named one of the The Sunday Times Best Places To Work 2023! We’re all about creating a positive environment, not just for our crops but for our team, too.
We also want to help our local communities. Every year, we encourage our team spend at least one day volunteering in our local area, focusing on helping improve conservation.
We want to make sure our customers are as happy as can be, too. We promise to always be transparent and tell the truth, so we’ll never make any claims that we can’t back up. Plus, we’re always looking for ways to improve how we do things, giving our customers the best possible experiences.
