"This company is built on quality, quality, and quality" – James Drummond Dole
In 1901, James Drummond Dole, a recent Harvard graduate in agriculture, started his first pineapple plantation in Hawaii. He soon discovered a smart way to preserve the fresh, juicy pineapples in cans – always with a focus on top quality.
Corporate social responsibility is high on Dole’s agenda. A solid program has been established to fulfill this commitment. Since 2013, the plantations and factories in the Philippines have also been certified by the Rainforest Alliance.
