Labor and Environmental Commitment

Protecting, preserving and enhancing the good earth...

When it comes to growing bananas in Latin America, Chiquita is the industry's environmental leader.

For more than 100 years Chiquita Brands International has been a leader in the banana business. For us this means more than just offering the best quality products. It also means protecting the land that we farm and the quality of life of our workers and their communities.

Chiquita's commitment to the environment and the people of Latin America comes from a simple but powerful belief - we want to do what is right. For this reason we embrace the Rainforest Alliances' Better Banana Project, the international standard for environmental protection and for worker health and safety on our banana farms. Chiquita's strong commitment to the environment is reflected in our having achieved 100% certification of our owned farms to the environmental and social standards of the Rainforest Alliance.
