This move signals more than a symbolic nod to sustainability; it’s a strategic commitment to ethical leadership, environmental stewardship, and inclusive growth.

The pineapple producer, marketer, and distributor’s proactive investment in a robust and deliberate sustainability agenda has been the driving force behind its growth and profitability. The milestone means that Del Monte Kenya will now further advance its sustainable business practices on the global stage.
Being part of the UN Global Compact means that Del Monte Kenya aligns with the organization’s ten principles and reaffirms its commitment to upholding human rights, labor standards, environmental sustainability, and anti-corruption efforts in all aspects of its operations.
This initiative also reinforces the company’s dedication to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering transparency, and inspiring meaningful change across industries.
Del Monte Kenya will implement reporting mechanisms that promote transparency while sharing insights and progress annually toward its sustainability goals.
Through these collective efforts, the company aims to advance sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation, and social impact programs across Kenya and beyond.
