Environment: Protecting What Sustains Us
At Kalos Farming, we believe that true stewardship of the land means working in harmony with nature. We actively pursue responsible and sustainable farming practices that preserve the health of our soil, water, and ecosystems. From improving irrigation efficiency to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, we’re committed to lowering our environmental footprint. Our goal is not only to produce high-quality products, but to do so in a way that ensures the longevity and resilience of our natural resources for generations to come.
We continuously improve our farming methods to protect and regenerate the land we work on.
To reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, we’ve installed solar energy systems that power our operations sustainably.
We use compost and plant cover crops to enrich the soil naturally and reduce groundwater contamination caused by synthetic fertilisers.
Water is life. Our irrigation systems are constantly being upgraded to ensure we use every drop wisely while growing premium fruit.
Through integrated pest management, we minimise chemical use by introducing natural solutions that are safe for our crops and our ecosystem.
Social: Growing Together
Our people are the heart of Kalos Farming. We are dedicated to nurturing a safe, empowering, and community-driven environment for every member of our team. Through ongoing training, development programmes, and a strong sense of community, we actively invest in the well-being of our team.
We invest in continuous learning opportunities to help our staff grow their skills and improve their lives.
We ensure our workers and their families have access to secure housing and supportive infrastructure.
Our on-site crèche cares for 36 children full-time. An additional 15 school-age learners attend aftercare, where they receive homework help and can use a fully equipped computer room. Three permanent staff members ensure the children are well cared for every day.
From sports days and annual staff excursions to Women's Day celebrations and long-service award functions, we create moments of joy and connection.
Our Workers Committee and Waitrose Social Committee ensure every voice is heard and help foster a culture of transparency and shared purpose.
