Corporate Responsibility
Since the beginning, Del Monte has been nourishing families and enriching lives. Our healthy and nutritious products for people and their pets are a foundation for the strong family connections central to wellness and a high quality of life.
We’re proud that our efforts to bring good food to the table are grounded in a deep respect for the natural resources of this earth. We’ve long been considered a leader in introducing agricultural practices that minimize the use of pesticides and help farmers grow stronger, more productive crops with less fertilizer, water, and other materials. We know that the success of our business relies on a healthy environment, and in our growers’ fields and across our own operations, we’re doing all we can to be good stewards of our planet’s resources.
Equally important is our attention to the relationships we have established within our family of employees, our suppliers, customers, and the communities in which we live and work.
We will continue to reach out and build on these connections to ensure that we’re delivering the products people want in the most sustainable way possible. We invite you to join us on this journey, and welcome your comments and feedback.
Sustainability Policy
At Del Monte Foods, our vision is to nourish families and enrich lives, every day. We’re passionate about bringing high-quality, healthy, and nutritious foods to people and their pets in a way that protects the environment, builds strong ties to our communities, and enables our Company to grow and flourish.
For us, sustainability reflects the balanced consideration of people, planet, and performance. As such, we believe the following tenets are central to our sustainability efforts:
- People Focus. We are a people-driven organization committed to the well-being of our employees, our consumers, and the communities in which we live and work.
- Stewardship of Natural Resources. Our Company’s success is based on preserving a healthy natural environment. We work to ensure the lasting productivity of our growers’ fields through lower-impact agricultural practices, and strive to reduce our operational environmental footprint by eliminating waste and minimizing our use of materials, energy, and water.
- Quality and Innovation. For over a century, we’ve delivered quality products that are safe and nutritious. We will continue to update our product portfolio to bring families and their pets a broad range of healthful and tasty food choices.
