Leonardo DiCaprio

The actor & climate activist joins Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton in backing the vertically integrated plant-based food company.

As part of its mission to save the planet, one bite at a time, Neat is working with Eden Projects on its large scale reforestation initiatives. Neat plans to debut its award winning burger patty, fish filet, and a range of other IP-owned products by the end of 2022. Independent analysis shows Neat’s products have a carbon footprint a fraction of the size of equivalent meat products. A pop-up in Urbanspace Vanderbilt opened recently to join in the rotation of chef-driven artisanal food concepts, engage with the local community, and build a dialogue with consumers ahead of the flagship launch. In 2021 Neat funded the planting of over one million trees in Madagascar, and it is now planting 50,000 mangrove trees with a concurrent goal to reach the same number of Instagram followers. DiCaprio is not the only famous name associated with Neat foods. It was nominated for the 2021 GQ Food & Drink Sustainability Award. Most recently, the brand was given PETA’s inaugural Company of the Year Award for its innovative approach to a plant based diet. The fundraiser — primarily with US investors — should accelerate the group’s global growth, underpin its new product development and CPG pipeline, and allow the group to extend its team for new hires. A recent press release describes how Neat gained a reputation for its “pioneering approach” that embraced flexitarian and plant-based consumers alike. The announcement about DiCaprio’s investment in Neat Food Co. emerges as part of its major strategic developments and international expansion plans. After that, the plan is for 1000 additional units by 2030 across US and UK, followed by Europe and the Middle East through corporately owned online and offline restaurants and franchise partnerships. He was designated as the United Nations Messenger of Peace for climate change in 2014.
