Long-term partnerships in Mexico

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.

Creating opportunities across the supply chain

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.

Responsible sourcing and fair working conditions

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.

Supporting local communities

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.
