Sustainable Development Goals

This promise is bigger than ourselves. We are doubling down on our mission to do business differently and joining forces with strategic partners in order to work towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the United Nations to better our world today and for our future generations to come. See all the SDGs we are supporting.

Meet our Partners

As we deliver on these promises we realize that we may not have all the answers today. And we humbly believe that achieving a sustainable future for all cannot be done alone. Our Dole Promise is therefore underpinned by key partnerships to innovate, collaborate and find solutions across both communities and the value chain.
