Our mission
At Pineut we want to inspire. To make. To do. To experience. And we like to put you to work in the kitchen. We make our products in social work environments and we stimulate entrepreneurship in the areas our ingredients are grown.
How it all started
Pineut is Femke and Marlies’ hobby that got a tad out of hand. Two friends who love flavours, herbs and spices. What once started with a little experimenting in the attic, has now grown into THE do-it-yourself brand in the Netherlands! In the previous years not only our team, but also our range has grown considerably. And we are still working day in day out on the newest combinations and the tastiest do-it-yourself products.
An inclusive, fair economy
We believe that having a good and satisfying job is the basis for a more independent, more enjoyable and better life. Unfortunately, too many people are still left behind. People can't participate, stay behind. As a result, differences between rich and poor, developed and underdeveloped are increasing.
We want to make a difference with our products. By working with people who, with a little guidance, have a lot to offer society. Pineut's products are largely made within our sheltered workplace, by people who have poor employment prospects. They transform our natural ingredients into delicious neuten, packaged in a stylish bottle or flacon. The Pineut production team of Stroomopwaarts explains how they do this.
A short fair chain
We spend time and care in selecting the right suppliers. For example, we deliberately choose to purchase herbs and spices that stimulate local entrepreneurship, and we prefer a short, transparent chain with fair wages and fair prices for the farmer.
Sustainable development goals
We use the seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals as a guideline in our choices.
The focus is on:
- Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth
- Goal 10: Reduced inequalities
- Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production
Tastes moreish!
Finally, with our do-it-yourself products we hope to stimulate the love for beautiful ingredients and surprising combinations and to inspire you to make even more delicious treats yourself. At Pineut we know one thing for sure: a little love and attention always tastes moreish.
Pineut is part of Food in Concept and we love inspiring collaborations. Do you have a great idea and can you fully back our philosophy? Then contact us via [email protected] and who knows, you might not have to do it all by yourself.
