the dole way

Dole’s new framework paves the way for further improvements in areas where we believe we can make the biggest positive impacts. Developed in coordination with Dole’s three main business divisions, the framework is intended to be easily understood yet thorough enough that there can be no doubt about where we’re making a stand. The big picture: All of Dole's sustainability activities focus on people, nature and nutrition. We aim to positively influence the lives and livelihoods of the people who work for and with us, and their communities. We want to protect nature with smart strategies and we consider a diet with the highest quality fruit and vegetables to be an essential part of health and wellbeing.

We do it „The Dole Way”

Our way is The Dole Way - a firm commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainability. In an honest and transparent way, we set ourselves ambitious goals and defined concrete metrics. Our sustainability history shows that we have already achieved a great deal. But Dole will continue on this exciting path in dialogue with our partners, consumers and retailers. Let's tackle the future together today!
