IMPRESSCA’s purpose of existence is more than just serving healthy foods. They believe that health and environment are interconnected that’s why our business goes beyond profit. It is about respecting the world for future generations.
Their vision is to capture the essence of who we are. A food business with deep social purpose to provide health giving benefits that will contribute to individual’s overall well‐being. Food that is healthy and safe; that does not harm the environment; locally grown and seasonally available; that promote biodiversity of plants and animals. Food that is organically produced and processed in ways that support thriving economic communities… fresh, natural food that has traveled the shortest route from farm to plate.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Sustainability is more than just being green or eco‐friendly for Impressca. They also mean ethical treatment of people and resources and providing assistance and support to those who need them.
• A demand for locally grown food stimulates rural economies so farmers can earn a living. This allows them to feed their families and improve their quality of life.
• Provides additional opportunities for communities in the form of developing other forms of livelihood, particularly for the wives of the farmers.
• This added revenue stream can further help the rural communities not just in improving their lives but in investing in their farms so they can produce even better quality products. A good livelihood will also encourage future generations of farmers to preserve their communities.
