Fyffes announced Oct. 3 that it had been recognized for its environmental sustainability efforts at the recent FPC Fresh Awards gala ceremony held in London. The company earned the Ethical Sustainability Excellence 2025 award.
“The organization sets a shining example of how multinational businesses can engage collective efforts to grow produce responsibly, and enrich people’s lives for a fairer, resilient future,” the adjudicators said.
One of the measures cited by the award’s judging panel were the “significant strides made with water management, sustainable packaging and greenhouse gas emissions,” as well as wider practices that include “dedicated human rights impact assessments, gender equality programs and concentrated efforts to repurpose surplus food and reduce food waste.”
Accepting the award on behalf of the Fyffes was John Hopkins, managing director of Fyffes UK. He thanked adjudicators for their recognition, adding: “We are proud to see the measures we have implemented towards environmental sustainability acknowledged. Sustainability is at the heart of Fyffes and our relationship with farmers, local communities, customers and consumers. The threat of climate change is not going away. Our aim is to always be at the forefront of sustainability innovation and action to protect people and planet.”
