The corporate world plays an important social role as generator of wealth and employment, but also as an agent of development in the communities to which it is part of. The current necessities of the market are no longer exclusively concentrated in the production and trading of goods and services, it is showing interest in the development of its business environment and the implementation of good practices of social responsibility at each level of the production chain.

In this sense, C. I. Unibán S.A. envisions its Social Management as the voluntary and explicit commitment of the directors, the banana producers and the team of collaborators towards the expectations and actions set up between the communities and C.I. Unibán S.A.’s Social Foundation to execute projects that have been designed to encourage the sustainable development of the communities and the organization.
