Corporate social responsibility is a key concern for Dole. This is reflected, among other things, in comprehensive programs for health care, education and fair working conditions in the growing regions. The Dole production site in the Philippines, which has been a member of the Rainforest Alliance since June 2013 – a global non-profit organization that promotes environmental protection, human rights and sustainable agriculture – is particularly noteworthy.
As a visible sign of this commitment, Dole’s premium product, the Tropical Gold Pineapple, proudly bears the Rainforest Alliance seal.

Dole Packaged Foods is now a global leader in the field of preserved fruit products and healthy convenience solutions.
