Social Responsibility

Office Fruit Group has a strong philosophy to support local growers and farmers, contribute to our local communities, and do everything we can to minimise or eliminate our impact on the environment.

This is just part of our strong commitment to ensure all facets of our business are conducted in an ethical and responsible manner, which serves to benefit the communities and the world around us.

Community

Office Fruit Group aims to provide a positive contribution to the community and people around us. We do this in part by providing support to local charity initiatives, and community groups.
