As a 100-year-old, family-owned business headquartered in Watsonville, California, giving back has always been part of our DNA especially to the communities that grow our berries.
Twenty years ago, we took an innovative step forward by extending our company philanthropy program to include employee-driven giving and volunteering. This approach empowers our teams around the globe to donate time, talent, and resources to causes they care about most amplified by matching contributions and volunteer rewards. What began as a local initiative in California has grown into a worldwide movement, connecting employees and communities across borders.
While employee-driven giving is a cornerstone of our approach, it’s part of a much larger commitment to philanthropy. Today, we dedicate 4% of our operating income to all of our charitable giving, nurturing our communities alongside our business. Since 2005, we’ve awarded $29 million in grants and sponsorships, supporting thousands of local initiatives across 13 countries on five continents.
Our philosophy is simple: we invest in people and places so they can thrive for the long term. Together, these efforts reflect our vision of Enriching the Lives of Everyone We Touch—locally and globally.
