Our Commitment: The Dole Way
At Dole we live sustainability every day. Because only those who play a positive role in shaping the world today will continue to preserve its diversity and realize the best it has to offer in the future. Our know-how and commitment, our innovative projects and solutions are the keys to creating better long-term conditions - from cultivation to consumption. Our goal: we want to keep improving opportunities for communities around the world. As one of the world's leading food companies, we want to be an important pioneer of change.
Dole’s new framework paves the way for further improvements in areas where we believe we can make the biggest positive impacts. Developed in coordination with Dole’s three main business divisions, the framework is intended to be easily understood yet thorough enough that there can be no doubt about where we’re making a stand. The big picture: All of Dole's sustainability activities focus on people, nature and nutrition. We aim to positively influence the lives and livelihoods of the people who work for and with us, and their communities. We want to protect nature with smart strategies and we consider a diet with the highest quality fruit and vegetables to be an essential part of health and wellbeing.
We do it „The Dole Way”
Our way is The Dole Way - a firm commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainability. In an honest and transparent way, we set ourselves ambitious goals and defined concrete metrics. Our sustainability history shows that we have already achieved a great deal. But Dole will continue on this exciting path in dialogue with our partners, consumers and retailers. Let's tackle the future together today!
