Environment | Communities | Our People

Del Monte Pacific is committed to doing its part to protect and preserve the environment for future generations. We support efforts to produce environment-friendly products and packaging, encourage waste reduction, and promote responsible waste management and conservation of energy and water. We work hard to communicate our environmental policy to employees.

The pineapple pulp waste disposal system is just one example of the Group’s innovative conservation programmes. Initiated over 40 years ago, it was designed to take excess pineapple pulp at our cannery and convert it into cattle feed, thereby reducing waste and costs. Our state-of-the-art waste water treatment plant, built at our seaside cannery, helps protect nearby coastal waters from pollution. The high-filtration juice plant at our cannery also processes excess juice into pineapple concentrate and syrup, significantly reducing the volume of waste water processed at the treatment plant.

With the community and concerned non-government organisations, efforts have also been exerted to enhance solid waste management and other environment conservation programmes. At the plantation, tree planting and water-protection programmes are promoted to conserve natural resources.

For its efforts, Del Monte Pacific has received recognition from the Philippine government and other organisations for its commitment to environmental preservation.
