Fresh Del Monte’s Post

We're proud to have inspiring leaders like Effie D. Silva on our team! Congratulations!

Earth Day is a reminder of the importance of conserving the environment, making sustainable choices, and taking action for a healthier planet—an ethos at the core of Fresh Del Monte.    This #EarthDay is focused on plastics and innovative solutions to reduce their use and build a plastic-free world.    We’ve made significant progress in the reduction of plastics and recycling waste. See our progress and explore some of the important measures we’ve taken to ensure A Brighter World Tomorrow® below. 

Bananas are the most popular fruit in the world—more than 100 billion are consumed annually. They’re also one of our core products and a fruit that we take pride in growing at 47 owned farms around the world. In honor of #nationalbananaday, take a quick tour through one of our banana farms in Costa Rica. Tell us: What’s your favorite way to eat a banana? 

We’re proud to be awarded Giga Guru status as part of Walmart’s Project Gigaton for the third year in a row! Fresh Del Monte’s commitment to sustainability runs deep. Many of our own sustainability goals align with Project Gigaton, allowing us to work together to make a bigger impact. Project Gigaton’s goal was to reduce or avoid one billion metric tons (a gigaton) of greenhouse gases from the global value chain by 2030. Walmart engaged suppliers like us to join them, and as a group, we have achieved that goal six years early!     As a Giga Guru, the highest level of achievement, Fresh Del Monte reported results in all six categories and our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions.     Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gzmQUY2x

We’re been ranked one of America’s #MostTrustworthyCompanies for the third year in a row! This year we came in at number 8 in the Food and Beverage category, up from number 14 last year. Newsweek’s America’s Most Trustworthy Companies list is based on a survey of U.S residents who rated companies they know based on four viewpoints of trust: general, customer, investor, and employee. We’re incredibly proud to be named to this list for the third time. This honor wouldn’t be possible without our team’s tremendous efforts and dedication. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eDet4Dip

At Fresh Del Monte, we’re proud to be a global leader in pineapple innovation—we've been leading the charge since the 1990s, with the debut of the Del Monte Gold® Extra Sweet pineapple, the first of its kind. Meet the latest product from our pineapple innovation line: the Precious Honeyglow® pineapple, a petite fresh pineapple perfect for single servings. Weighing between 1.5 and 2lbs—about half the size of a regular pineapple—our new personal-sized pineapple was designed to reduce food waste by offering consumers size options that fit their needs. From our Honeyglow® pineapple line, the Precious Honeyglow® pineapple has the same extra sweet taste and distinct color consumers love. Get the Precious Honeyglow® pineapple year-round in the US from Melissa's Produce. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eAaCWdZq

This month, we held a tree planting session at our Kenya operations with children from a local school sponsored by Del Monte Kenya Limited (DMKL). As part of our initiative to encourage competency-based learning, each child had the opportunity to adopt at least one tree. We hope this will foster a sense of responsibility and connection to nature. DMKL is committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability and educating local communities on its importance.
