Fresh fruit at work
is what we do

Ten years after the first workplace fruit delivery offers appeared, the question is no longer ‘Is it useful?’ but ‘How do we put in place a solution that is consistent with our wellbeing and CSR policy?’. The subject is fully part of the challenges of workplace wellbeing and primary prevention — diet being one of the determinants of physical and mental wellbeing.

Studies by Malakoff Humanis, Anact and the Observatoire de la QVT consistently rank food at work among the top three to five factors of perceived wellbeing. Employees are not asking for a gourmet restaurant: they are asking for an environment that supports their healthy choices day to day, particularly around breaks, snacks and the availability of fresh fruit. A well-placed fruit basket in the cafeteria or break room is often the first ‘wellbeing gesture’ that new recruits notice.

The economics are favourable too. For a budget generally between €2 and €4 per employee per week, companies offer a visible, daily service directly linked to wellbeing. Compared with the cost of staff turnover (between 30% and 150% of an annual salary depending on the role) or that of an annual seminar, the decision is quickly made. The internal studies we carry out with our clients show that around 70% of employees spontaneously mention fruit at the office among the positive signs of engagement.

The impact on absenteeism is harder to isolate, but the direction is consistent: regular fruit consumption is associated with better micronutrient intake (vitamins, minerals, fibre), better blood sugar control and more stable energy throughout the day. Without over-promising — nobody claims that fruit alone solves absenteeism — it is a solid building block of a clear occupational health policy, which you can combine with our healthy snacks, our jars of dried fruit and our organic juice dispensers.

The regulatory context is pushing in the same direction. The European CSRD Directive, gradually applied to companies in the European Union since 2024, requires them to document material social and environmental indicators. Food at work is not always explicitly listed, but it fits within the ‘worker health and safety’ and ‘wellbeing’ policies that are now required. Having a supplier able to provide verifiable data on product origin, waste rate, type of farming and logistics chain makes life considerably easier for the teams in charge of this reporting.

Finally, and this is perhaps the most underestimated argument: the cost of an office fruit service is extremely low relative to its visible day-to-day impact. Whereas an office refurbishment costs tens of thousands of euros and produces a diffuse effect, and an annual event takes up a large budget for a one-off impact, the weekly fruit basket creates a concrete, continuous, observable presence. No employee thanks their employer for the carpet; many, however, mention the fruit, the quality coffee or the healthy snacks as signs of care.

Bananas, pears, a wide selection of apples, mandarins, peaches, apricots, cherries, mirabelle plums, grapes, persimmons: so many flavours to delight your palate. In our selections we favour local, seasonal fruit, but you will also find a few more exotic treats, also of organic origin. You can order your fruit basket directly online, and it will be delivered straight to your company. Every week, the basket is automatically replaced by our delivery drivers. The subscription comes with no commitment and you can pause it at any time. But we bet that you and your employees will soon simply be unable to do without this treat! You can also switch plans as often as you like and adjust the contents of your baskets. Our customer service team is on hand to advise you if you are unsure how much to order or which plan to choose.
