Together we go for better
Sustainability
Our ambition? To be the most sustainable sauce manufacturer in the Netherlands. As a family business, we stand for the long term. Because true enjoyment is only possible when it goes hand in hand with a positive impact on people, communities and the world around us. We believe everything tastes even better when it's done really well. Together we go for better. Every day. With a smile.
We proudly carry the B-Corp certificate, a recognition of our commitment to a better future. We focus on five focus areas. That way we know what to do, and you can hold us to it. Wondering how we add value for people, animals and the environment? Feel free to send us a message at oliehoorn
Energy & CO2
To make the tastiest sauces, we need energy. We've already taken sustainability steps in this regard with the use of green electricity generated 100% from Dutch wind energy. To make even more of an impact, we are building the most sustainable sauce factory in the Netherlands, which we expect to put into operation in 2026 and which will be completely gas-free.
Did you know that about 90% of our raw materials come from Europe? That saves a lot of travel kilometers and therefore CO2.
Onze doelen
Near-term science-based targets zijn goedgekeurd
We nemen ambitieuze en wetenschappelijk onderbouwde klimaatmaatregelen.
In november 2025 zijn onze near-term science-based targets goedgekeurd door het Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
- Oliehoorn zet zich in om de absolute scope 1- en 2-broeikasgasemissies met 63,0% te verminderen in 2035 ten opzichte van het basisjaar 2023. Daarnaast committeert Oliehoorn zich om de absolute scope 3-emissies uit ingekochte goederen en diensten en upstream transport en distributie met 37,5% te reduceren in dezelfde periode.
- Oliehoorn zet zich in om de absolute scope 3 FLAG-emissies met 45,5% te verminderen in 2035 ten opzichte van het basisjaar 2023. Oliehoorn committeert zich tevens aan het voorkomen van ontbossing binnen de belangrijkste ontbossingsgevoelige grondstoffen, met 31 december 2025 als streefdatum.
Deze doelen zorgen ervoor dat onze klimaatmaatregelen in lijn zijn met de nieuwste wetenschap en bijdragen aan het beperken van de opwarming van de aarde tot 1,5°C. Onze jaarlijkse voetafdruk is te vinden in het Duurzaamheidsverslag.
Packaging
In recent years, our packaging has already undergone a major change. For example, for the squeeze bottle, we changed the bottle to sustainable material and also replaced our original cap for a sustainable twist-off cap variant. That meant: a lot of testing and improving. Because at Oliehoorn , the taste and quality of our sauce are paramount. Without the right packaging, we cannot guarantee that. Fortunately, all that work was not without success! Our squeeze bottles are now fully recyclable!
Raw materials
We feel responsible for the entire chain from the farmer to the plate. At Oliehoorn , we want to play an important role in improving conditions throughout the chain. In addition, Oliehoorn works with a "Green Partner certificate. By scoring on the right parts, suppliers can be awarded this certificate. In this way we make each other stronger and contribute to a more sustainable world.
Waste & Wastage
You know the drill; some sauce is always left in the pan or stuck to the spoon. With us, it's no different. A shame, of course. That's why we take a critical look at how much waste we produce, where we spill sauce and work to reduce waste and residual streams. During the production process we cannot escape producing waste, but we try to reduce this as much as possible. However, our sauce fans also help us reduce waste. Have you seen a Kijk-Ruik-Proef logo on our sauces? We are happy about that! Our sauces have a best before date, but did you know that you can often still eat them after that date?
Look, smell, taste. Does it look good? Does it smell good? Does it taste good? Then waste is a waste and you can just sensausionally enjoy your favo sauce!
Good employer
At Oliehoorn , we stand for our people. We work with passion, enthusiasm and fun to grow. We believe it is important that our employees can challenge and develop themselves, and that we provide the means to do so.
Oliehoorn has been awarded by Effectory as a "World-Class Workplace 2025-2026"! The label is only awarded when employers are rated above average by their own employees in terms of employee engagement and being a good employer. Of course, we are very proud of this.
