In Ecuador, one of our long-established partners has built a reputation not only on the quality of its bananas but also on its commitment to farming responsibly. With three generations of family leadership, they have become a benchmark for how agriculture can balance commercial success with care for people and the planet.

An Ecuadorian Grower’s Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

A defining feature of their approach is the investment in renewable energy. On their own farms, they operate one of the few solar-powered installations in the Ecuadorian banana industry. This move reduces reliance on fossil fuels, cuts carbon emissions, and demonstrates how clean energy can be successfully integrated into large-scale agriculture.

Alongside this, all farms within their network are GlobalG.A.P. certified, ensuring environmental management, safe working conditions and responsible use of natural resources. Beyond the farm, BASC certification guarantees secure and ethical export practices, creating a transparent supply chain built on trust.

The result is a model that balances productivity with accountability. By embedding sustainability into daily operations, whether through renewable energy, certifications, or ethical logistics, this Ecuadorian supplier is proving that environmental and social responsibility can go hand in hand with commercial success.
