The Humankind 100 is a distinguished honor that celebrates the 100 US public companies who aim to create large amounts of value — not just for investors but humanity at large. Humankind 100 companies are ranked based on Humankind Value, a proprietary metric that provides an estimate of the overall dollar amount a company creates for investors, consumers, employees and society and are therefore among some of the most ethical companies in the United States.

Fresh Del Monte’s outstanding achievements in the following areas earned it an esteemed spot on the 2024 list:

  • Crop Production: The production, harvesting, storage, transportation or sale of food or bringing food to consumers.
  • Economic Value: Offering consumers goods and services that they value, paying employees for their labor in producing goods and services and providing value for shareholders.
  • Medical Services: The production and distribution of medical devices, pharmaceuticals and the delivery of medical services contributing to life expectancy and quality of life.
