What Is Origin Green?

Origin Green is a national food and drink sustainability programme with a global ambition: to make Irish food and drink the first choice internationally because it is trusted as sustainably produced by people who care.

Led by Bord Bia, it is a voluntary programme providing a framework coupled with the knowledge and know-how to help drive sustainability improvements throughout the entire food and drink supply chain on a national level.

Origin Green is independently evaluated and verified at every stage. Bord Bia promotes participation from farmers, producers, manufacturers, retailers, and foodservice companies. It remains the world’s only national food and drink sustainability programme that operates across all sectors from farm to fork.
