ONE BANANA corporate social responsibility programs in step with U.N. goals

The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lay out a framework for addressing the most pressing issues on the planet by 2030. ONE BANANA has aligned their Corporate Social Responsibility programs with these goals, so that their efforts to promote economic development, gender equality, health, education, sustainable communities, natural resource conservation, measures to adapt to climate change and responsible management will contribute to the United Nations' vision in the countries where ONE BANANA operates.

ONE BANANA's corporate social responsibility projects include providing access to medical clinics, nutritional programs, and education that have benefited more than 19,500 people, across 13 rural communities in Guatemala and Peru. "We believe that when all our co-workers are treated with dignity and respect, earn a living wage, and have access to healthcare and education it strengthens their communities as well as improves our competitive advantage and our business potential," says Fernando Bolaños from ONE BANANA.

The "A Banana a Day Makes a Difference" program provides free bananas to school children in the areas around their operations in both Guatemala and Peru. Bananas are a healthy snack and they are one of the only foods that contain six major vitamin groups, as well as minerals such as potassium and manganese. These programs have had a significant impact on school performance and reducing the number of children who are showing signs of malnutrition.
