Fresh Del Monte will be at the World Biodiversity Summit in
Glasgow, United Kingdom on November 10, 2021, marking a critical
opportunity to address the important role the private sector has in
responding to the intertwined crises of biodiversity loss and
climate change.
“It is extremely important to me to be able to represent Fresh
Del Monte’s initiatives at the World Biodiversity Summit and
COP26,” said Sauter, who also works as SVP of Research and
Development in addition to his role as Chief Sustainability
Officer. “Time is of the essence, and it is vital for different
stakeholders in society to come together to identify and implement
game-changing solutions to stimulate food production, while
conserving biodiversity and addressing climate change. As one of
the largest integrated producers, marketers, and distributors of
fresh produce, we want to lead change. We believe that as an
agricultural company, we can be an integral part of the solution.
However, we cannot do it alone. With our pledge to implement
regenerative farming and soil-health management in all our farms
and associated growers’ farms by 2030, we hope to inspire every
member of the supply chain (farmers, retailers and consumers) to
also do their part.”
Some of Fresh Del Monte’s efforts toward building A Brighter
World Tomorrow™ include conserving and restoring forests and wild
areas to protect biodiversity in and around their farms —amounting
to 28% of their owned land —preserving soil health, stewarding
critical water sources, and providing quality education and
scholarships for students throughout their growing regions.
