“At Unibán we seek to achieve the high standards that the world is demanding today from companies in terms of environmental care and community relations.“
>> Carolina Jaramillo, in charge of sustainability at Uniban<<
At Unibán, we work for sustainable development in the banana – growing regions of Colombia, based on practices that impact the communities near our areas of operation, that focus on caring for the environment and ecosystems in the same way that they allow us to project the sustainability of the business over time. We seek that each of the actions we implement generates shared value for the environment through the exercise of responsible agriculture.
Likewise, our sustainability strategy focuses its efforts on contributing mainly to eight Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are aligned with each of our pillars and axes.
In our first sustainability report, you can find the activities related to the management of our economic, environmental and social impacts for the year 2023.
