What we actively do for the planet

For Unifruitti, Sustainability is a license to operate.

This deep and full realization of Sustainability value and its strategic essence is guiding our approach to ESG strategy and helped identify our Focus areas. Further to the actions we undertake, our sustainability work is mainly reflected locally across our locations and throughout our interconnected value chain with the active contribution of the Unifrutti family, who is capitalising on our Group legacy, navigating the daily challenges, and embracing our sustainability goals and Vision 2030 with confidence.

In the light of these commitments, our Sustainability Strategy is focusing under 4 core pillars:

  • Environment
  • Social
  • Governance
  • Safe and Nutritious Fruit
