Agriculture

Griffith Foods is excited to announce the expansion of the global sustainability team with the addition of two new positions. Kimberly Schaub and Bernard Hayman are talented additions to the organization and their work is crucial for advancing the company’s 2030 Aspirations.

Griffith Foods has been a proud supporter of the Greater Chicago Food Depository for many decades.

In 2023, alongside Parrish & Heimbecker, Limited, the Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA), and the Sustainable Food Lab, we launched an innovative pilot program to promote regenerative agriculture in wheat farming.

Within a few days of the disaster, the Griffith Foods Monterrey plant delivered 450,000 servings (4.5 tons) of Griffith Foods fortified porridge to support the people and the communities in the affected area.

Creating a healthier and more hopeful future begins with the practices of Del Monte Foods’ growers. From soil sampling to integrated pest management, their dedication to more sustainable agriculture helps produce fruits, tomatoes and vegetables with less waste.

Griffith Foods, a family-owned product development company guided by their Purpose of “We Blend Care and Creativity to Nourish the World”, has released its 2023 Sustainability Report.

Griffith Foods has completed an EcoVadis assessment annually since 2019 and is proud to have achieved another gold medal for their 2023 performance. Griffith Foods is thrilled to share that they have scored in the top 5% of all companies ranked by EcoVadis.

Canned and jarred foods, with their long-lasting nutritional value, affordability and packaging, are nourishing for the planet, people and communities in which we live. The way Del Monte Foods sources and packs foods increases sustainability from farm to pantry.

June is Pride month and Griffith Food’s Supporting Pride With Inclusion Celebration and Education (SPICE) community is a global belonging community committed to cultivating a culture of inclusion and celebration of the 2SLGBTQ+ community through education and outreach.

Since our founding, Del Monte Foods has been a lifeline to our communities, connecting people with accessible, nutritious food. This is especially important at a time when economic and food insecurity are on the rise.
