Del Monte: Helping the planet and communities where we operate

Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A., Inc. (Del Monte) is a market leader in growing and shipping premium produce for over 125 years. We deliver fruits and vegetables directly to you at the peak freshness and flavour for your customers to enjoy.  Our network of distribution centers, fresh cut facilities, and re-pack facilities are strategically located throughout North America to allow fast, consistent distribution of our entire product line.  We meet national and international standards and manage every step of the quality control and food safety process from farm to store.

For Del Monte, sustainability is a management practice that guides our daily business activities. We are committed to being good stewards of the land we farm. We have established environmental and social policies and procedures as well as programs that seek to protect and sustain the environment and promote the well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate. Our environmental and employee programs are regularly audited by internal and external auditors against internationally accepted environmental standards.

Our 2019 efforts are focused on initiatives such as Carbon Neutrality Certification in our Costa Rican pineapple farms, as well as irrigation system and electrical system upgrades.  We are certified under PrimusGFS, GlobalGAP, SCS Sustainably Grown, Rainforest Alliance, British Retail Consortium, and FSSC.
