A company that rescues imperfect fruits and vegetables and a startup that uses drones to plant trees received top honours at the Sustainable
Impact Challenge. Organised by Majra — National CSR Fund, the challenge picked projects with the maximum impact and gave away Dh600,000
to winners to continue their work.

The first prize went to Herogo which was awarded Dh300,000. The initiative collects fruits and vegetables that are too big, too small or don’t meet
the requirements to be sold at supermarkets and delivers them to UAE residents at a discounted rate in an effort to reduce food waste. Buyers
can save up to 30 percent of their grocery bills by subscribing to a Herogo box.
