Sustainability
The future of produce requires action today.
Feeding the world is a huge responsibility, and part of that responsibility calls for companies like ours to implement practices that complement the land and our natural resources for the protection of our planet. Sun World’s plan for sustainability is one that ensures we grow and harvest an abundance of high quality produce while reducing our environmental impact. We want you to enjoy succulent fruits and crisp peppers for generations to come. So we partner with Mother Nature, monitoring weather and ecosystems to responsibly manage the natural resources that yield those delicious fruits and peppers we all love so much.
To achieve our goals, we’ve created a sustainability program that
employs a variety of best practices to address environmental
responsibility. Those practices include:Using drip irrigation systems and monitoring weather to conserve water resources
Protecting the nutrient base of our soil and monitoring moisture to prevent unnecessary watering
Promoting energy efficiency from lighting to cooling systems
Using recyclable materials, like Kraft cartons for shipping products
Recycling of paper and plastic products
Employing an Integrated Pest Management program to reduce chemical use
Breeding for larger yields from fewer plants and resources
Taking care of our produce means taking care of the earth. When you buy Sun World, you’ll enjoy best-in-class produce grown and harvested with a healthy respect for all our planet has to offer.
