At Chiquita, we believe that the journey to a truly sustainable industry in all aspects simply makes sense – for the environment, for the future of our business, and for our valued farming communities. Our people and their families are the most important part of our business and we have been focused on protecting them during these challenging times. Meanwhile, as part of the essential food supply chain, we are continuing to grow and bring our custom- ers top quality Chiquita bananas and are proud of our teams’ hard work and dedi- cation throughout the supply chain. We are working hard to take a leadership position within the industry, bringing our suppliers and supply chain with us on this journey, and developing challenging com- mitments that provide a roadmap for the future of the banana industry. Our actions on our farms and our com- munities are not intended to stop climate change but instead to build better climate resilience and to contribute to the reversal of such effects. Our actions will only succeed if they do not impact on our commercial offer- ing. We have spent a great deal of time ensuring we can safeguard our produc- tivity, quality, and excellence in logis- tics and service. We have had to invest considerably to achieve this, but we believe it will strengthen our long-term competitiveness.
