It is very important for us that our smoothies are a truly guilt-free pleasure. Everyone can enjoy our smoothies with a clear conscience, as part of a responsible, climate-friendly and healthy lifestyle.

We only use carefully tested ingredients and we know exactly where they come from. Our smoothies are natural, and we never add sugar or additives. We compensate for all our CO2 emissions.

Our team’s wellbeing is very important to us. Many of our employees get their first experience from working life at Jungle Juice Bar. We feel very privileged to be able to make sure that they get a good start for their careers. We want to offer a workplace where everyone can feel at home and that all of us can be proud of. We believe that taking care of our team’s wellbeing is the way to make certain that a sense of caring and good energy are passed along to our customers as well.

Jungle Juice Bar is not a smoothie chain, it’s a Tribe. We feel that all Jungle Juice Bar’s customers and employees belong to this Tribe.

Fighting climate change is extremely important theme for our Tribe. Sustainability and caring are based on our Tribe trusting us. We feel it is important to be deserving of that trust.

How we calculated our carbon footprint

Our plant-based products have a relatively small carbon footprint. We have also taken other measures to minimize our footprint, such as using only green energy and biodegradable packaging. But like most companies, we still produce some carbon emissions.

Natural Resource Institute Finland (LUKE) has calculated the amount of emissions we produce, so the figures are based on independent and impartial information. The figures include all emissions produced in growing and producing our ingredients, producing bio plastic cups and straws, use of detergents, water usage, raw material and internal deliveries, energy production, smoothie making and waste.

The largest share of our emissions are generated in cultivation of the raw materials, in freezing of certain raw materials and in transportation. Transportation happens via sea or land freight and transportation emissions are calculated taken into account the country of origin of each raw material.

Compensating for our emissions

Our partner South Pole compensates for all emissions. We buy carbon credits according to our emissions from South Pole, and South Pole uses them in projects which remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

 We contribute to two of South Pole’s rain forest projects: to Agrocortex Brasilia and to Kariba REDD+ Project on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. The Agrocortex project protects the Southwestern rainforest of the Amazon through sustainable forest stewardship and by protecting local biodiversity and communities. The Kariba project focuses on a giant wildlife corridor that protects an expansive forest, home to numerous vulnerable and endangered species.
