SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CHILEAN FRESH FRUIT INDUSTRY

Sustainability has become the main focus in our principles. Its importance is such that we have developed and implemented a Sustainability Policy for the National Fresh Fruit Industry, which places the person at the center of the sector's actions, and in turn, defines 3 central axes: Social Sustainability, Economic Sustainability and Environmental Sustainability. Each of these axes, as a whole, are determined by 12 areas, which define the bases of the work of our industry.

The bases or key foundations within our Sustainability Policy have been drafted in the Circle of Sustainability that is detailed below:
