In the interest of society and reducing CO2 emissions, Groda chose to purchase 666 solar panels. With an expected annual yield of 150,000 kWh, these solar panels cover around 65% of the total annual energy requirement. CO2 emissions are reduced by 69,000 kg per year. By realising this solution, Groda demonstrates the importance of facing the climate challenge and helping, in the general interest, to work towards a bright solution to the climate question.<\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<style>.vso-empty-space-6a69282ac85a3{height:40px;width: 100%}@media (max-width: 991px){.vso-empty-space-6a69282ac85a3{height:20px}@media (max-width: 576px){.vso-empty-space-6a69282ac85a3{height:10px}<\/style><div class='vso-empty-space-6a69282ac85a3'><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;20&#8243; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Mission &amp; vision<\/h2>\n<p>Our mission is to be the link between grower and market, thereby contributing to the availability of high-quality top and soft fruit in Europe.
