Our brand purpose
Kooky exists to make exotic fruit more accessible while contributing to a food system that is better for people and the planet.
We believe everyone should have access to nutritious, exciting fruit without compromising on quality, affordability, or sustainability. By preserving fruit close to where it is grown, sourcing responsibly, and continually reducing waste across our value chain, we aim to create positive outcomes for our customers, our partners, and the environment.
The impact we aim to create
Through our products and business practices, we aim to:
> reduce food waste by preserving fruit at source and maximising the value of every
harvest;
> lower the environmental impact of transporting tropical fruit by extending its shelf life and optimising logistics;
> create fair and lasting value for our growers, suppliers, customers, and communities
through responsible sourcing and long-term partnerships;
> encourage healthier and more sustainable snacking by making premium exotic dried
fruit enjoyable and accessible to more people.
This purpose guides our business decisions, product innovation, sourcing practices, and stakeholder relationships.
How our purpose Is embedded in our business
> Making exotic fruit more accessible: We believe exceptional fruit should be
enjoyed by more people. We source premium fruit varieties that are rarely available
in dried fruit and transform them into innovative products that are both high quality
and affordable. Examples include introducing dried dragon fruit and mangosteen to
the UK market and continually expanding our range with lesser-known tropical fruits.
> Responsible sourcing: We work with trusted suppliers who share our
commitment to quality, responsible farming, and continuous improvement. When
selecting suppliers, we consider not only product quality but also environmental and
social practices, long-term relationships, and opportunities to create shared value.
> Reducing waste through circularity: We believe every part of the fruit has
value. Where possible, fruit by-products such as peels and shells are recovered by
specialist partners and repurposed into compost, animal feed, or other value-added
applications. By keeping resources in use for longer, we contribute to a more circular
food system and reduce unnecessary waste.
> Innovation with purpose: Innovation at Kooky goes beyond creating exciting new
flavours. We continually explore new fruit varieties, product formats, and
manufacturing methods that improve quality, reduce waste, and create greater value
for our stakeholders while minimising our environmental footprint.
> Member of 1% for the Planet: We donate 1% of our total annual sales (not
profits) to support environmental causes to protect the Planet. We chose to support
FareShare on their mission to tackle poverty and reduce food waste. So far, we
donated to them 0.2 tons of dried fruit and contributed to nearly 3,000 meals.
