OUR SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

At C.I. Colombia Paradise our goal is to build a socially and environmentally responsible business. Most of the people that work for us at the warehouse to select and pack our fruit are women. Many of them are the main breadwinner of the family. This helps to increase the empowerment of women and to ensure that these families have a stable income to take care of themselves and their children. We also support the education of the children in the community through public-private partnerships. For example, the company partly rebuilt and greatly improved the primary school building in Subia and we have set up cultural activities for the children. In terms of our environmental responsibility we aim to minimize the environmental impact in all our productive operations. To this end we are trying to reduce the amount of plastic in our packaging by using paper (made out of sugarcane) for our fruit boxes.
