Tell  me  about  Innocent

Innocent Smoothies: helping people look after themselves

Innocent Smoothies was launched nine years ago and is the number one smoothie brand in the UK.
 
As a business it wants to make it easy for people to do themselves some good. And it wants to leave the planet a little bit better than we found it. 

This is reflected in everything from its use of green electricity at Fruit Towers, to sourcing fruit from places that go the extra mile in terms of looking after the people that work on the farms, and the environment.

As of 2006 all of its bananas come from Rainforest Alliance-accredited farms.

Every single year it donates 10 per cent of its profits to the innocent foundation, which funds NGOs in the countries where it sources its fruits.

When  is  the  Innocent  village  fete?

The Innocent village fete will be back in London's Regent's Park on
· Saturday, August 2

It all starts at 11am and runs until 7pm
