Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is integral to our business model. We produce and distribute avocado products and more, but we also want to give something back to society. Both within and outside our company. Creating social value is reflected in all our activities.
For Salud Foodgroup Europe, CSR also means investing in our own people. Our aim is to provide all our employees with a motivating, inspiring and pleasant working environment. Our focus is on encouraging personal development, recognising skills and achievements, and rewarding efforts.
We encourage diversity within our workforce. We believe that bringing together people with different backgrounds and experiences leads to more satisfied employees and more innovation within the organisation.
Sustainability is about taking responsibility beyond our own operations. As part of global food value chains, we want to contribute positively in the regions connected to our products and sourcing.
Together with partners in Mexico, we support local initiatives that strengthen communities and contribute to positive social and environmental impact. In Peru, our work with water stewardship focuses on supporting more responsible water use and long-term resilience in agricultural landscapes.
These efforts are built on collaboration. By working closely with local partners, sharing knowledge and combining our strengths, we aim to support practical initiatives that create value for people, communities and the environment over time.
Salud Foodgroup has worked with a cooperative organisation in Mexico since 2012. The cooperative brings together around 300 farmers, helping to strengthen their position and support their shared economic, social and cultural needs.
Through this collaboration, many employment opportunities have been created across the supply chain. Today, more than 17,000 people work within the supply chain under internationally recognised social standards, something we are proud to be part of.
Respect for human rights and fair working conditions is a fundamental part of how we work. We expect our producers and partners to comply with applicable laws, international labour standards and our social responsibility requirements. To support this, we follow up through social audits, close dialogue with our producers and regular visits from our local teams.
Beyond our supply chain standards, we want to build strong and long-term relationships with the communities connected to our avocado producers in Mexico and Peru. Through local partnerships, we aim to contribute to positive social and environmental development in the regions where we operate and source from.
In the Netherlands, where our headquarters are located, we also support local community initiatives. One example is our support for Quiet Oosterhout, an organisation that helps people living in poverty or social isolation by creating access to experiences, services and meaningful connections.
Our activities impact people, society, and the environment across the entire value chain. We embrace our social and societal responsibility with an ecologically sustainable approach as our foundation. Our goal is to contribute to the welfare of local communities and create a positive social and environmental impact globally, both now and in the future.
