we ARe COmmunitieS
At Fresh Del Monte, we have a global footprint—and a global community.
We provide jobs, develop infrastructure, increase access to healthcare and education, and more. When individual communities succeed, our global community succeeds. When our global community succeeds, we all succeed.
PROviDing FOR OuR PeOPLe
We provide for our people at work and
in their communities.
Healthcare
Access to health services is key to a thriving community. We fund clinics and medical centers in our sourcing regions (such as Central America, Africa, and the Philippines), contribute to increased medical infrastructure, and support local organizations.
Education
Education can increase quality of life and prevent poverty. We ensure there is a school near our farming communities—and if not, we build one ourselves. We support and maintain more than 50 schools in our sourcing regions, such as Central America, Africa, and the Philippines.
Lifelong Learning
We have the Fresh Del Monte Academy, which provides team members with learning and development programs at a global, regional, and local level through online tools, presentations, guides,
e-courses, and functional training.
Infrastructure
There are certain things every community needs. We build roads, schools, hospitals, libraries, places of worship, and other public spaces in collab- oration with local governments in our sourcing regions to ensure the communities’ needs are met.
Clean water
Safe and reliable water sources need to be protected. We work with local organizations to preserve and clean natural water sources so communities in and around our sourcing regions have access.
Disaster relief
Unexpected disasters need quick actions. After natural disasters, we provide financial support to relief efforts and our team members volunteer their time and resources.
