Longtime Sustainability Pioneer in Agricultural
Space Shares Expansive Sustainability Report Highlighting Key
Achievements, Outlines Future Plans
Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., one of the world’s largest leading
vertically integrated producers, marketers, and distributors of
high-quality, fresh produce, released today its 2020 Sustainability
Report which further solidifies the company’s leadership position
in defining what sustainable production means at scale for large
producers. The company is taking a bold step in expanding its
sustainability efforts beyond just its operations as a way to do
its part in reducing – what a new report by the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calls – the “widespread, rapid, and
intensifying” effects of climate change. Fresh Del Monte’s
Sustainability Report delves deep into the company’s commitment to
ongoing environmental protection, providing healthy choices for
consumers, and empowering the health and well-being of its team
members and communities, including a list of its ambitious 2030
goals toward creating A Brighter World Tomorrow™.

“We are very proud of the steps we’ve taken, and are taking to
create a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient food system,”
said Hans Sauter, Chief Sustainability Officer and SVP of Research
& Development at Fresh Del Monte. “However, what brings me the
most joy is that our programs are truly born out of passion,
starting at the ground level, literally and figuratively, with
every team member taking an active role in advancing our efforts.
Without our team members, we wouldn’t stand a chance. This
Sustainability Report is the mosaic of all the contributions our
team members around the globe are living every single day,” he
added.
Expanding on the company’s commitment to growing responsibly and
sustainably, Fresh Del Monte takes its efforts beyond its
operations to create resilient and multifunctional landscapes.
Utilizing a holistic approach to regenerative agriculture, Fresh
Del Monte works to thrive alongside its local communities and
ecosystems by increasing soil health, carbon sequestration,
ecosystem services, water availability, and quality throughout its
operations and watersheds.
Fresh Del Monte has already surpassed two of its 2025
sustainability goals around environmental protection and team
member well-being while continuing to make steady progress toward
the other goals. This year, the company has set even more ambitious
goals for 2030, such as implementing regenerative and soil health
management practices in 100% of owned and associate grower’s farms,
reducing food loss and organic waste sent to landfill by 50%, and
reducing virgin plastic usage by 25% on purchased consumer
packaging compared with its 2020 baseline.
