CORAL GABLES, FLA. — Fresh Del Monte Produce has received a 2025 SEAL Business Sustainability Award in the Environmental Initiative category. This is its fourth time in five years to be named a winner.

Fresh Del Monte received the award for already meeting its 2030 goal for reduction targets of 27.5% for Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gases.

"Surpassing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 reduction targets seven years ahead of schedule is a milestone we are proud of, but we know our work is far from over,” said Hans Sauter, chief sustainability officer and senior vice president of corporate R&D and agriculture. “With a new goal of a 30% reduction by 2030 compared to our 2019 baseline, we remain committed to science-driven solutions that push the boundaries of sustainable agriculture and further minimize our environmental impact.”

“2025 represents our ninth-year SEAL Business Sustainability Award event,” said Matt Harney, chairperson and founder of SEAL Awards. “This year’s ESG award recipients follow a 9-year trendline of greater impact materiality and deeper granularity. Across all industries and geographies, companies are going deep and granular — into materials, chemistry, processes, R&D, supply chains, and more — to generate sustainability improvements.”
