Hello everyone,
The period since our IPO on the New York Stock Exchange and the birth of Dole plc in July 2021 has been an exciting and dynamic time. Bringing together two giants of the fresh produce sector was always going to entail fundamental change. As always, together, we have risen to the challenge.
Three years on, this resource pack has been developed to provide an overview of the new Dole plc- to make sure that amidst the pace of progress, we collectively take a moment to reflect on and understand this business that we are building. Covering structure, operations- both local and global, our strengths and our responsibilities, it is intended as a simple, accessible guide to what makes us what we are today.
Inevitably this overview represents only a snapshot of our company at a single moment in time. Our business will continue to evolve in the months and years ahead and each and every one of you will be important contributors to that change. But for now I hope this pack serves, not only as a means to understanding and navigating our organisation, but also as a useful resource in helping each of you in sharing our story with other stakeholders across the supply chain. After all, ours is a great story to be able to tell.
Rory Byrne, Chief Executive Officer
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Dole plc is an incredible Irish success story and Dole Ireland, a remarkable business in its own right. Across our 170+ years of trading, we have evolved from a modest wholesale business in the North East, into the global market leader. Here at home, we have built an unrivalled infrastructure, cultivated enduring relationships with local consumers, customers and growers alike and transformed into a genuine standard bearer for Irish agribusiness.
Fresh produce, however, is inherently global in nature. In Dole Ireland, we stand apart from our peers by virtue of the truly international network of complementary sister produce businesses working alongside us- and more specifically by the capacities to do more for our customers that being part of the world’s leading fresh produce company brings.
Understanding our home market, our Irish business, our local strengths and our global group capacities is important as we embark on the next chapter of our story. Our people have always been our competitive advantage. Collectively, we can’t sell our business, if we don’t properly understand it. This presentation is here to help.

ABOUT DOLE IRELAND
OVERVIEW
INDUSTRY
Healthy Planet. Healthy you.
We are privileged in Dole to market products widely accepted to be the most nutritious of foods with amongst the lowest environmental footprints of all the major food groups. That our primary function is the marketing of produce, the health promoting properties and environmental credentials of which have been firmly and definitively
established, is something about which we can all be justifiably proud. Few industries, surely can contend with such certainty that their core business - in this instance driving fresh fruit and vegetable consumption, makes so positive a contribution to public diet and general well-being. Ours is an industry of worth.

STAKEHOLDERS OUR
Our Stakeholders
From farm to fork, the fresh produce supply chain is one populated by a particularly complicated set of stakeholders, a set often motivated by complicated interests, priorities and agenda. In Dole, our understanding of the nature of our responsibilities to each of these stakeholders is unambiguous. In the first instance, as a customer orientated organisation, the delivery of premium quality, safe, traceable produce to the consumer and value to our partners in trade must always remain a priority for us. Meeting and exceeding customer expectations is what we do. As a Public Limited Company, we are mindful, always of the expectations of shareholders; our owners, of Governmental legislators and NGO’s with respect to conducting our business in accordance with best corporate practices and of our responsibility to deliver equitable returns across the supply chain. We recognise also, though the responsibilities inherent in the pursuit of this goal, most notably to the emerging and developing nations from which we source, and more specifically to our partners in production- the local and global growers who supply us. Recognising as we do, our own people as our competitive advantage we are committed to being an ‘Employer of Choice’ at production and in the marketplace and to meeting wider social obligations to the communities in which we grow and trade.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE
SUPPLY CHAIN FARM TO FORK
In fresh produce, control and influence of the supply chain is highly valued by trade customers, but also consumers who appreciate when produce comes ‘straight from the farm.’ Vertical Integration (exerting control back across the supply chain) has implications in terms of a business’ capacity to ensure best agronomic, logistical and sustainable practices from farm to fork. In Dole, by virtue of our extensive own production, our enduring long-term relationships with many of the world’s most accomplished growers and our extensive on-the-ground operations across key markets, we have the capacity to offer the most direct route to market for our fresh produce- closing the gap between the grower and the consumer and delivering on our promise of ‘quality, quality, quality’.
This influence across the supply chain allows us to bring a degree of customisation to our produce and services not possible otherwise, whether that be in New Product Development at production or innovative packaging the marketplace.
SUPPLY CHAIN FLEXIBILITY
OWN PRODUCTION
In Dole we have been growing fresh produce for 170 years. With extensive own production throughout Central and South America, South Africa and beyond we are recognized across our industry as a world class grower of bananas, pineapples and assorted diversified produce. Our expertise in the production brings commercial, agronomic and environmental efficiencies to the supply chain but most importantly offers that always paramount assurance of quality to our customers.
3rd PARTY PRODUCERS LOCAL PRODUCERS
Dole’s extensive product offering includes everything from everyday family favourites to the truly exotic, extending across some 300 lines. Inevitably the breath of this range requires that we work with trusted third party global suppliers to deliver on our promise of 52 week supply. Over 170 years of trading we have established constructive, enduring partnerships with leading growers from the worlds most fertile growing regions. Our credentials, capacities and competencies as a primary producer ourselves and our acquired marketplace expertise and experience are hugely important in this respect as we work hand in glove with our partners to bring to market exceptional fresh produce from across the globe.
In many of our markets across the world, extensive ranges of locally grown fresh produce complement the wider range of imported fresh fruits and vegetables available all year round on the retail shelf.
In Dole, we are deeply committed to supporting local growers in the markets in which we operate. In many instances, we are a critically important commercial partner to smaller local growers offering financial, technical, agronomic, legal, commercial, marketing and sustainability related support to our local partners in production, consolidating supply and delivering value added services. It allows us to be ‘local at heart, global by nature - offering produce from around the corner and across the world.
BRAND
That sensation. You know the one. That explosion of taste, that rush of flavour. That’s what we here in Dole are all about. It’s the pleasure that comes from binging on those berries positively bursting with juice, from munching on that mango, ripened to perfection. It’s that beautiful banana, that perfect pineapple, that amazing avocado, that gorgeous grape. It’s that zesty kick from the scintillating, succulent citrus, extra zing infused by the Mediterranean Sun. It’s the unmistakable freshness and flavour of tasty tomatoes grown just up the road. There’s nothing like it. In Dole, we’re all about taste. Don’t get us wrong. We’re so incredibly proud to grow and distribute amongst the healthiest and most nutritious of foods. We know too, we’re privileged to be marketing produce with amongst the lowest environmental footprints of all the major food groups. And since the very beginning, we have been wholeheartedly dedicated to ‘Quality, Quality, Quality.’ But still. The taste. Because in Dole, we believe consumers are entitled to have it all - produce grown to the highest agronomic and sustainable standards, brought to market in pristine condition, good to go, ready to eat and tasting sublime. It’s what we do.

Dole Fresh Fruit’s portfolio of premium fresh fruit products encompasses cavendish bananas, various other banana varieties (babies, red, manzano, burros, plantains) fresh pineapple, mangoes and dragon fruit and an expanding array of speciality and seasonal fruits, including organic bananas and pineapples.
These products are grown primarily in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Colombia, Honduras, Peru and Mexico and sold to retailers and wholesalers globally, extending its reach to the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe.
Dole’s flagship product, bananas, holds a prominent position in the market, with over 172 million boxes sold annually. Renowned for their consistent quality and nutrition, DOLE® Bananas lead as the number one selling brand in North America.
Dole’s roots began in the volcanic soil of Hawaii, where the pineapple, recognized as “the fruit of kings,” was first planted in 1901. DFF markets both super-sweet GOLDEN SELECTION pineapple and the TROPICAL GOLD® and ROYAL HAWAIIAN labels.
The company’s commitment to sustainable agriculture is evident in DFF’s cultivation practices, including being the first major banana company in North America to offer organic bananas. Dole’s organic banana stickers allows
consumers to virtually visit the farms, enhancing transparency and connecting customers with the source of their organic produce.
In all of its farming operations DFF continues to explore earth-friendly cultivation techniques, water and soil conservation, reduced packaging and R&D into new banana varieties. Dole’s core competency lies in its refrigerated supply chain, a closed-loop system that preserves and protects quality from farm to customer. Dole Fresh Fruit boasts the largest dedicated
refrigerated containerized fleet globally, 11 owned vessels, ensuring efficient transportation and delivery of the highest-quality and freshest products.
In North America Dole Fresh Fruit provides terminal services in five ports, transportation, distribution and ripening to its 238 customers. The company’s subsidiary, Dole Ocean Cargo Express (DOCE), extends its shipping services to third parties, transporting various cargos internationally.

HOME MARKET OUR IRELAND
Dole plc is an incredible Irish success story and Dole Ireland, a remarkable business in its own right. Across our 170+ years of trading, we have evolved from a modest wholesale business in the North East, into the global market leader. Here at home, we have built an unrivalled infrastructure, cultivated enduring relationships with local consumers, customers and growers alike and transformed into a genuine standard bearer for Irish agribusiness.
Fresh produce, however, is inherently global in nature. In Dole Ireland, we stand apart from our peers by virtue of the truly international network of complementary sister produce businesses working alongside us- and more specifically by the capacities to do more for our customers that being part of the world’s leading fresh produce company brings.
Understanding our home market, our Irish business, our local strengths and our global group capacities is important as we embark on the next chapter of our story. Our people have always been our competitive advantage. Collectively, we can’t sell our business, if we don’t properly understand it. This presentation is here to help.

BRAND IN IRELAND
Building our Brand
Though the DOLE® brand is the #1 recognized fresh produce brand globally, here in Ireland it is a new entrant to the marketplace. Though over 40% of Irish consumers recognise the DOLE® brand when they see it, it does not yet enjoy the levels of recognition here, that it does elsewhere in Europe, for example. This is something we are determined to address. A key first step is to get DOLE® produce on to the retail shelves of Ireland. In this regard our DOLE® BE Exotic! and DOLE® GO Organic! ranges will lead the way. The brand will also be aggressively supported in the Irish market- with innovative in-store, above the line and digital campaigns accompanying new product launches. Through a combination of these measures, we are committed to moving the DOLE® brand to ‘front of mind’ with Irish consumers- its rightful place here in its home market. Here, as everywhere, our ambition is to make the brand synonymous with quality, quality, quality’ and, as always, to inspire, educate and empower Irish consumers to ‘find the fun in fruit.’

Dole Foodservice Balbriggan directly services Dublin City and much of Leinster.

EXPERTISE WHOLESALE
Wholesale is all about the experience and expertise to source the very best produce, the infrastructure and resources to bring it to market in pristine condition and delivering the efficiencies to create value. In Dole Ireland, we’ve been wholesaling in Ireland since the 1850’s.
By virtue of our marketplace experience, our unrivalled national infrastructure and our global reach we are uniquely positioned to bring the very best produce to the Irish market. Our central wholesale hubs in Dublin and Belfast feed Dole depots and a network of third party local wholesalers across Ireland with range of fresh fruits and vegetables from across the globe.
Assuring best agronomic and sustainable practices from farm to fork, collective procurement delivers synergies and efficiencies to the Irish marketplace and extra value to Irish consumers. Local Dole teams complement global supply with local produce, consolidating demand for local growers and offering marketing, packing, commercial and agronomic support. In Dole, we bring a world of fresh fruits and vegetables to the cities, towns and villages of Ireland each and every day.
LOCAL SUSTAINABILITY
In Dole, we’re fortunate to market the most nutritious of foods with amongst the lowest environmental footprints of all the major food groups. But with that privilege comes responsibility- especially given our position as the global leader in our sector. Our stakeholders- investors, customers, our own employees and, of course consumers, expect us to lead from the front.
In Dole, we’re determined to do just that. Our strategy is called ‘the Dole Way’ and at its heart lies a commitment to adhere to best sustainable practices in all that we do. Our main focus areas are summarised in this section but I would invite you to visit www.doleplc.com/sustainability for a more detailed overview of our group approach.
It is, of course, incumbent on all of our local businesses to contribute to the pursuit of the targets detailed in the Dole Way. Here in Ireland, our home market, our sustainability strategy has been constructed to align with our group approach to measuring and managing our performance. We’re also focusing on Origin Green, our government sponsored accreditation and of course, the requirements of each and every one of our local customers. Sustainability is important. It is both the right thing to do and a commercial imperative. An ongoing journey, it is the composite of innumerable steps, some easy, some challenging. As with all challenges, its best faced together. I’d like to invite each and every one of you to play your part. If you have any ideas or suggestions as to how we can move forward our sustainability story here in Ireland, my door is also open. Please get in touch.

OUR LOCAL SUSTAINABILITY
FOR NATURE
Renewable energy
The impact of the use of fossil fuels on Climate Change is well documented. In 2018 as part of our group Vision 20/20 project, Dole Ireland began a concerted campaign to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and, by extension our Scope 1 and 2 emissions across our operations. Our first step was in introducing renewable alternatives was to switch to ‘green’ electricity sources; first through the national grid and later, through the installation of solar panels across many of our facilities. The combined impact of these measures was a XX% reduction in our Scope 1 & 2 emissions. In 2024 we will begin profiling our Scope 3 emissions- those associated with 3rd parties serving us across the supply chain using the ‘Carbon Cloud’.
Water Conservation
Consumption of water by Dole Ireland operations is understandably greatest on our production sites where multiple measures have been put in place to conserve and recycle water use. All of us can play our part in reducing water use in all of our facilities by being mindful not to waste water for any purpose.
Waste & Packaging
In Dole we are committed to minimizing food waste at all times. Similarly, we are determined to remove, reduce or replace as much plastic packaging from our products as possible.
Biodiversity
Preserving natural habitats is essential if we are to protect the environment. In Dole Ireland, we’re working with partners to profile and ringfence existing ecosystems related to horticultural production, employing satellite technology to monitor and manage biodiversity.

OUR FOR FOOD REPORTING: ORIGIN GREEN
Dole Ireland is proud to be an Origin Green Gold member. Globally renowned, Origin Green is the worlds’ only national food and drink sustainability programme, encouraging lrish businesses to set and achieve measurable sustainability targets that respect and protect the environment and enrich local communities. Providing programmes for farmers, producers, manufacturers and retailers, the Origin Green programme is independently monitored and verified. Verified Origin Green members account for 90% of our food and drink exports and over 70% of our domestic retail market.
Accreditation at farm-level is provided to ISO: 17065 and Carbon Trust (PAS 2050), while food and drink manufacturers are independently verified by international auditors, Mabbett. Our ongoing commitment to the Origin Green accreditation is a testament to Dole’s ongoing commitment to transparency across its operations and the pursuit of best sustainable practices- a commitment evident in the wide variety of initiatives in place across Dole Ireland focused on, amongst other things, energy management, water conservation, biodiversity, community engagement and diversity and inclusion.
OUR LOCAL SUSTAINABILITY
FOR PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY
We support our employees with education, training, and good working conditions, and take steps to positively impact their families and the wider communities, too. Dole aspires to be an employer of choice wherever we operate. Dole is committed, of course, to the goals of equal opportunity in employment. We aim to provide a work environment for staff that fosters fairness, equity, and respect for social and cultural diversity and that is free from discrimination and harassment. An equal opportunity employer, appointments and promotions are made on the basis of performance and ability.
One of the unique features that sets Dole Ireland apart is our network of local depots spread out right across the island of Ireland. Our businesses and our people are consequently deeply embedded in the communities in which we serve. In Dole we’re committed to playing a constructive role in everyday life. The length and breadth of the country we not only provide local employment and work with local growers but we also contribute to local communities, sponsoring local football, ruby and GAA clubs, promoting health eating in schools and workplaces and supporting a variety of worthy charitable causes.
FOR FOOD
Promoting fresh produce consumption and the pursuit of healthy diet is a priority for Dole. Here in Ireland, we work with our core stakeholders and through a variety of media to promote healthy eating. A good example is the Incredible Edibles programme - an initiative dedicated to educating, encouraging and inspiring young people to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. We’re also committed to responsible sourcing. That starts here at home. Our “Local Produce First” policy prioritises locally grown produce where it is available, commercially viable and environmentally responsible to do so. We recognise in particular our responsibilities to the emerging and developing nations from which we source. We know that many sustainability issues require cooperation and collaboration across the supply chain. We work constructively with our stakeholders from our partners in production to our marketplace customers to assure best sustainable practices right across the global fresh produce sector.

CORE VALUES
Passion
We want to cultivate a culture where we bring the fire in our hearts to work. But no one becomes passionate just because someone else tells them to. We believe that passion comes from feeling included and listened to. Having good friendships, good managers, and shared goals. These things engender a passion for the needs of our customers and consumers, for taste and quality, for work and business.
Innovative
We ask ourselves “What if?”. Innovation and optimism are forces that drive change. We strive to be innovative in thought and action, in the search for new solutions and in our business.
Responsibility
We want to be down-to-earth and take responsibility for our actions. It is important to both live the brand, and to be cost-conscious and take responsibility for sustainability, range and quality – all so that we can make the world tastier and greener.

OUR BUSINESS CONCEPT
At Dole Nordic, we empower our customers and partners to increase competitiveness and long-term sustainable business through the best offering of fruits, vegetables and berries for all tastes, situations and budgets. We offer a wide range of products and can deliver under strong brands such as DOLE® and Njut av Sverige, as well as private labels and Packers Brands. We have in-depth collaborations in every part of the value chain, from farm to fork. This means that we can always be up-to-date in terms of season, assortment and price, and can be efficient in our delivery, whether you are a retail, wholesale, foodservice or industrial customer.
We want to make the world a tastier, greener place, and by investing in consumer insights, we know what driving forces and barriers impact the consumption of fruit and vegetables, and how to inspire people to have more greens on their plates.
One of our strengths is to combine this knowledge with a huge product range, efficient logistics and the industry’s strongest purchasing power. As part of Dole plc, we are big enough to make a difference.
EXPERTISE LOCAL PRODUCE
We cherish what we have close to us, and we invest in working with local producers to maintain the quality of Swedish products and producers nationwide. Because we have short chains and work closely with the growers, we can offer a complete range of products with the right quality and price, always according to season. Our producers are often at the forefront with new sustainable solutions at their facilities. Some examples are energy efficiency, management of residual products that go to animal feed and green manure, and efficient reuse of water through our own treatment plants. Many growers also have their fields directly adjacent to the factory, which helps to reduce emissions.
LOCAL PRODUCTION
STEGLINGE FARM
Steglinge Farm in Höganäs, south-west Sweden, is home to one of Northern Europe’s most modern facilities for potatoes and root vegetables. Steglinge can wash, pack, pre-cook, shred, chop and turn carrots, beets, parsnips and a lot of other lovely produce.
Dole Nordic and the Gibrand family, which operates the Steglinge agricultural business, jointly own the production facility.
VIDINGE GRÖNT
Vidinge Grönt is located in Norrvidinge, just north of Lund in south-west Sweden. In the fields, baby leaves such as rocket and baby spinach, romaine lettuce and Swiss chard are grown. These are then processed into meal salads and other ready-to-eat products sold around Scandinavia.
The production facility is jointly owned by Dole Nordic, the Nordmark family (which also operates the family farm) and KFF, Kramer Food Family.
OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
A Nordic success story
Over the years, our Nordic operations and our family of companies have grown and evolved from local businesses to a local and global business.
Since 2009, we have had a unique partnership with Coop Sweden, where we are a full-service supplier to all of Coop’s stores and work closely with their fruit and vegetable business unit on a day-to-day basis.
Nowaste Logistics, which is part of Dole Nordic, strives to constantly develop successful solutions that drive the industry forward through innovative technology, automation and systems. As a result, we have a logistics solution that works extremely well.
Through the jointly owned production facilities Steglinge Farm and Vidinge Grönt, we have our own capacity tor refine fresh produce, which further enhances our customer offering across all of our business areas.
Our passion for fresh produce has always been our focus, and this has remained unchanged over the years. We are constantly looking ahead to new goals and aiming to create new opportunities for our company.

EMPLOYEE BRANDING
SPONSOR YOUR HEART PROJECT
As part of Dole Employer Branding and Being Dole, anyone who is a permanent employee within the Dole Group is offered the privilege – once a year, and once per employee – of sponsoring an event, association or organisation that you have local links with and feel passionate about, by offering fruit and vegetables. It could be that your child’s preschool, school or leisure club is holding an event, the local football club has a cup match or an important fixture coming up, your village association is organising a special occasion, or something like that.
We’re calling this “My heart project”
The aim of “My Heart Project” is to increase awareness, loyalty and pride. And, not least, to make the world you are passionate about greener and more full of flavour. At each sponsorship event, all products are packaged in specially developed Dole branded boxes to further highlight the Dole brand.
Dole Nordic does not sponsor political or religious organisations, individuals or companies, private parties and events or activities that do not align with our values.
INSIGHTS OUR
Everything we sell has to be eaten by someone! Dole Nordic’s vision is for everyone to eat at least the recommended amount of fruit, vegetables and berries every day.
A crucial factor in making this happen is understanding the driving forces, barriers, attitudes and behaviours that influence what consumers choose to put on their plates.
We therefore carry out continuous consumer surveys on a national, Nordic and European level to gain these insights, which we use to refine our offer and develop product ranges, new products and marketing that drives sales.

When it comes to social and ethical conditions, we require all our suppliers to be assessed by a third party. All in all, this contributes to continuous improvements throughout our value chain, and enables us to provide security for our customers as the reliable partner we are.

OUR
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OUR CULTURE
“Working with others has helped me because not only are you understanding their businesses but you’re understanding their culture.”
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
A rich heritage, a fresh start: 170 years young!
When Total Produce plc and Dole Food Company came together in 2021 they created something unique: a business that combines deep-rooted experience with a fresh, forward-looking spirit. The resources and scale of an established industry leader with the entrepreneurial drive and agility of a start-up. It’s a dynamic blend of tradition and innovation, all aimed at propelling an iconic name into its next exciting chapter.
Across our organisation our ambitious culture flourishes. It’s a mindset that values both excellence and evolution, enabling us to not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers and consumers around the world.
Our culture is shaped by the fresh produce industry itself – a vibrant sector that thrives on flexibility, innovation and a forward-looking approach. In this fast-paced environment we’re
always ready to adapt, spot opportunities and navigate challenges with agility.
It’s also inherently global, celebrating the diversity of our people, markets and regions. We’re deeply proud, not only of our business and people but of our products – the most nutritious and environmentally friendly choices among major food groups.
OUR
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OUR PEOPLE
Some might dismiss the phrase ‘our people are our greatest asset’ as mere rhetoric but not here at Dole. Our people are the heart and soul of our success, embodying an unrivalled passion and pride for our business and brand.
They are the champions of our core values –grounded, collaborative, innovative, passionate and responsible – consistently striving to exceed expectations at every turn. From farm to marketplace their commitment ensures superior agronomic and sustainable standards as we
deliver on our promise to deliver ‘quality, quality, quality’. That’s why we’re so proud to count some of the most accomplished professionals in the fresh produce industry among our teams.
The formation of Dole plc introduced dynamic changes – new territories, cultures and markets unified under one identity. Our people embraced these changes with resilience and enthusiasm – a defining trait of Dole’s culture. As we continue to grow we welcome a steady influx of new talent: professionals bringing fresh ideas, diverse skills
and deep expertise. This constant renewal keeps us agile, inspiring us to revisit our established ways of working and evolve.
We don’t just adapt to change we thrive on it. Even as we reached a significant milestone in 2021, becoming the world’s leading fresh produce company, our culture pushed us forward and we focused on what’s next. Our teams not only expect new challenges they embrace them. That’s simply the Dole way.
“When acquiring family businesses I highlight our Dole products, sourcing, farming and development. The second generation is excited about their children getting professional training in the fruit sector.”

INVESTING IN OUR PEOPLE DALE FOUNDATION
Our community development efforts are focused on three key areas: health, education and entrepreneurship, all supported by our people.
In the US, employees from our farms and facilities can nominate community initiatives for us to support. For example, in Salinas, California, teams take part in annual ‘Relay for Life’ events for the American Cancer Society, while in Ohio our people take part in the annual ALS fundraising walk. Perhaps the most powerful example of our community development work is the DALE Foundation, set up 20 years ago in collaboration with a group of independent growers in Ecuador. Its purpose is to improve the lives of both employees but also local communities. Since its conception, it has expanded out to include Peru. Activities include adapting mobile medical units to reach employees in the most remote of locations, allowing the foundation to also offer emergency medical interventions in events such as floods.
The Foundation has set up two schools and supports many others, and trains local people in entrepreneurship, helping improve family incomes and quality of life. The foundation has helped more than 80,000 people across 100 communities to date. Across the world we support multiple other initiatives centred around educating, inspiring and empowering people to lead healthier lives. Take our support of Ireland’s Incredible Edibles programme, which teaches almost 50,000 school children each year to grow fresh produce. Being a responsible business is in our DNA. Our presence in rural agricultural areas across the world has the potential to make a real difference not only in our people’s lives, but in their communities more broadly.
INVESTING IN OUR PEOPLE DALE FOUNDATION
Dale Foundation is the executing arm of our social responsibility strategy in Ecuador. It has been operating since 2001 with the firm purpose of transforming the lives of agricultural employees, their families, and communities in the banana sector. All programs run by the Dale Foundation are possible and sustainable thanks to our donations and those of our independent growers. In this way, we reinforce our commitment to contribute to livelihoods wherever we operate.
23 years of impact
In Ecuador the Foundation operates in four provinces: Guayas, Manabí, Los Ríos and El Oro. 15,000 employees from our farms and independent producers benefit annually. US$43 million invested until 2023. 170 communities served.
Roadmap
Through Dale’s work in these four lines of action, we promote an inclusive management model that generates
socioeconomic development both in the areas of our farms, and in those of independent growers and communities. Between 2020 to 2023, investment in the 4 areas was US$ 10.8 million.
Health
We maintain a network of fixed and mobile medical clinics, which offer primary care, medical specialties, preventive and occupational health services.
Education
We support educational centers through improvements in infrastructure, equipment, and other programs. We also built two schools: “Vicente Piedrahita” and “Ecuador País Amazónico”.
Environment
We promote the protection of the environment, the conservation of natural resources, and the adequate and rational management of water resources among our farm employees and the inhabitants of our communities.
Community Development
We strengthen relationships with the communities where we operate, creating an environment where dialogue and permanent communication prevail, contributing to development and improved quality of life.

CATEGORY MANAGEMENT
CATEGORY MANAGEMENT
The right produce. The right place.
The right time.
So what’s Category Management? It’s the science of shopkeeping, really: getting your marketing mix (price, product, place , promotion) right to maximise sales and keep the consumer happy. Complicated at the best of times, fresh produce brings its own challenges: Changing seasons, volatile weather and all the surprises that nature can bring, makes ours a dynamic, ever-changing sector.
That’s where Dole comes in. We aspire to be our customers indispensable partner; bringing our expertise and experience from right across the fresh produce supply chain to bear to help them navigate the challenges to find the opportunities. Scouring close to home and around the world to assure consistency and continuity of supply of the very best produce from the very places be they or our own farms or the most accomplished growers. Extracting costs and adding value, we deliver competitive prices and with our brand as our focal point we promotion to educate, inspire and empower consumers. We strive to be our customers competitive advantage. Insights to better understand the fresh produce consumers needs and exceed their expectations, whether taste, or responsible TEXT ENDS HERE.
SECTORAL SPECIALISATION
CONSUMER INSIGHTS
In Dole, we believe that by understanding the consumer we can better serve the consumer and, by extension, our customers across Europe.
Dole’s Consumer pan-European research project began life as “Kostministeriet”, meaning “the Ministry of Food” in Sweden. Dedicated to providing deeper insights into what motivates and inhibits consumers from eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, in 2022 its scope was broadened to cover 10 different European countries. Using a variety of complementary research methods Dole Consumer Compass, so named given its objective to “point us in the right direction”, seeks to deliver a deeper understanding of consumers than traditional research provides. It is used to support generic promotion of produce, for New Product Development and for category management purposes with retail partners.
10,000 people were interviewed across 10 European countries; Austria, Germany, Belgium, France, Czech Republic, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Poland, and the Netherlands. By garnering a deeper understanding of consumer perceptions of fresh fruits and vegetables our hope is to inform our approach to meeting the expectations of consumers and customers across the continent, driving consumption and promoting better health and well-being.

FAMOUS BRAND
Recognised and trusted across the globe
It’s the pleasure that comes from binging on those berries positively bursting with juice, from munching on that mango, ripened to perfection. It’s that beautiful banana, that perfect pineapple, that amazing avocado, that gorgeous grape. It’s that zesty kick from the scintillating, succulent citrus, extra zing infused by the Mediterranean Sun. It’s the unmistakable freshness and flavour of tasty tomatoes grown just up the road. There’s nothing like it. In Dole, we’re all about taste. Don’t get us wrong. We’re so incredibly proud to grow and distribute amongst the healthiest and most nutritious of foods.
We know too, we’re privileged to be marketing produce with amongst the lowest environmental footprints of all the major food groups.And since the very beginning, we have been wholeheartedly dedicated to ‘Quality, Quality, Quality.’ But still. The taste. Because in Dole, we believe consumers are entitled to have it all-produce grown to the highest agronomic and sustainable standards, brought to market in pristine condition, good to go, ready to eat and tasting sublime.
It’s what we do.
BANANAS & PINEAPPLES
Golden Days Ahead
When you think of pineapples, you think of Dole. And that’s no wonder; Dole has been commercially growing the sweet, tropical fruit since 1901. In that time, we have learned much about growing the best pineapple in the world.
All DOLE® Pineapples are vibrant, tender and sweet - rich in nutrients, healthy enzymes and Vitamins B6 and C - invigorated by the golden sun to shine a little brighter. But our new Golden Selection® Pineapples glow like no other. With a deeper golden shell, richer golden flesh, and delicate aromatic.
Golden Selection® Pineapples
Absorbing that radiant energy, artisan-grown Dole Golden Selection® Pineapple, sustainably farmed in the rich soils and ideal climates of Costa Rica, boast a deeper golden shell, richer golden flesh and delicate aromatic fragrance, promising exceptional juiciness and vibrant tropical flavor that balances the sweet and tart while elevating the indulgent taste experience. These limited availability pineapples are monitored constantly for quality by our expert growers, ripened to perfection while still on the plant and picked with precise timing at their peak in our Costa Rica farms.
Taste the finest extra sweet pineapples available and let Dole’s Golden Selection® Pineapples transport you and your consumers to paradise.
Sustainable Banana Labels
Innovative, sustainable, intelligent – that’s the new label on DOLE® bananas in Northern Europe. Dole Europe GmbH has opted for “home compostable” stickers compliant with the Sinclair EcoLabel HOME™ . The self-adhesive labels are explicitly certified for fresh products, i.e. fruit and vegetables. The new fruit stickers are made of partially bio-based and plastic-free materials that make them ideal for home composting. This means they can be disposed of in garden compost, where they biodegrade and are ready for re-use within about 365 days. (The compost storage method, the temperature on site, and other factors can all affect the rate at which the label decomposes and degrades into usable compost.) This is a major benefit for Dole customers, who can simply put DOLE® banana peels and stickers on their home compost heaps and know they are helping the environment. Since recently the Dole Blog has also been describing how easy it is to make everyday life more sustainable. Users will find helpful tips on sustainable gardening methods, avoiding food waste and social engagement. Dole is also committed to environmental compatibility and conserving resources in its source countries and when transporting fruit.

OUR FOCAL POINT
Recognised, trusted and synonymous with ‘Quality, Quality, Quality’, the DOLE® brand is the lynchpin around which we build bespoke category concepts dedicated to engaging specific consumer groups to promote distinct product ranges.
Ours is a holistic approach. The added value of our produce lies, not exclusively in our famous brand, but also in the suite of complementary properties and attributes that accompany it, properties added across the supply chain, from production to promotion, to deliver a discernibly different product in the eyes of the consumer.
Delivering the best of both worlds - Our ‘Category Concept’ approach is new, and very much a product of its time, inextricably linked to identity and developed to resonate with contemporary consumer values as it is. Our packaging delivers striking on-shelf impact, our promotions, meaningful messaging and calls to action. Yet behind it all remains an important constant- a promise of quality anchored and endorsed by a timeless classic - DOLE® - a trusted and recognised name across generations.

BRAND HIERARCHY
That sensation. You know the one. That explosion of taste, that rush of flavour. That’s what we here in Dole are all about. It’s the pleasure that comes from binging on those berries positively bursting with juice, from munching on that mango, ripened to perfection. It’s that beautiful banana, that perfect pineapple, that amazing avocado, that gorgeous grape. It’s that zesty kick from the scintillating, succulent citrus, extra zing infused by the Mediterranean Sun. It’s the unmistakable freshness and flavour of tasty tomatoes grown just up the road. There’s nothing like it.
In Dole, we’re all about taste. Don’t get us wrong. We’re so incredibly proud to grow and distribute amongst the healthiest and most nutritious of foods*. We know too, we’re privileged to be marketing produce with amongst the lowest environmental footprints* And in Dole, since the very beginning, we have been dedicated to ‘Quality, Quality, Quality.’ But still. The taste. Because in Dole, we believe consumers are entitled to have it all - produce grown to the highest agronomic and sustainable standards, brought to market in pristine condition, good to go, ready to eat and tasting sublime. It’s what we do!

Golden Days Ahead
When you think of pineapples, you think of Dole. And that’s no wonder; Dole has been commercially growing the sweet, tropical fruit since 1901. In that time, we have learned much about growing the best pineapple in the world.
All DOLE® Pineapples are vibrant, tender and sweet - rich in nutrients, healthy enzymes and Vitamins B6 and C - invigorated by the golden sun to shine a little brighter. But our new Golden Selection® Pineapples glow like no other. With a deeper golden shell, richer golden flesh, and delicate aromatic.
Golden Selection® Pineapples
Absorbing that radiant energy, artisan-grown Dole Golden Selection® Pineapple, sustainably farmed in the rich soils and ideal climates of Costa Rica, boast a deeper golden shell, richer golden flesh and delicate aromatic fragrance, promising exceptional juiciness and vibrant tropical flavor that balances the sweet and tart while elevating the indulgent taste experience. These limited availability pineapples are monitored constantly for quality by our expert growers, ripened to perfection while still on the plant and picked with precise timing at their peak in our Costa Rica farms.
Taste the finest extra sweet pineapples available and let Dole’s Golden Selection® Pineapples transport you and your consumers to paradise.
BRAND ESSENCE
“What’s for dinner?” A well-known question no matter the culture or country. Sweden is no exception. Dole Nordic now offers a complete set of convenience products within the fruit and vegetables category with the purpose of answering this question.
We can’t set the table, obviously. And we can’t do the shopping, unfortunately. But what we can do is to put together a meal kit to kick start the dinner, no matter the occasion. Does it contain fresh and locally produced vegetables, untouched by a freezer? Yes it does. Are they chopped up and ready for the oven? Naturally. Does it come with herbs and seasoning? Yup, just add it to the mix.
With this range the aim is to make everyone’s everyday struggle of finding the time to make really good food in a fast and easy way a little bit more convenient. That’s why these meal kits also go with almost everything and everyone. Vegetarian? Just add halloumi. Barbecue? Just add steaks. Spontaneous afterparty? Just add dip.
In the end, we wanted to lower the threshold to make a delicious dinner and allow the consumer to focus on what’s important. Whether that’s mingling with the guests, a home-made pepper sauce or a salmon so tender and flaky it’s like turning pages of a book. We do the first part, and the consumer just add the inspiration. Simple as that.
In September 2022 Dole Nordic released the first Dole convenience products for the Swedish market and has since then extended the range.

Introducing GO Organic! Organics without compromise.
Fresh, grown with pride and as nature intended. The taste of organic fresh fruits & vegetables is something to behold, the experience, one of life’s simple pleasures. And it’s a taste made all the sweeter when you know it has been grown to best agronomic and sustainable standards. In Dole, this is something on which we never compromise. That’s why we’re so proud to introduce our new GO Organic! range- bringing all our experience and expertise to organics to deliver a range without compromise. GO Organic! delivers the best of both world’s- the tastiest produce, grown responsibly on our own farms and in partnership with passionate local organic producers across the world and close to home.
Let’s Grow Together. Moving Organics to the mainstream.
‘Big is beautiful’. Not a phrase typically associated with organic production. Words like ‘small’ and ‘local’ would be more usual. But it can be. We think it should be. In Dole, we believe we, alongside our partners across production and in the marketplace, have a contribution to make to moving organics to the mainstream. Customers tell us they want consistency of quality and continuity of organic supply 52 weeks and 365 days of the year. Consumers want that too, alongside value for money. And growers want support: to navigate the marketplace and to grow the category. By virtue of our global reach, our local infrastructure and relationships and our own experience growing organics, we believe we have a role to play. In creating our dedicated business unit, Dole Organics and launching our DOLE® GO Organic! brand we’re laying foundations and extending an open invitation to independent organic growers and European retailers alike to work with us to collectively bring organic fruit & vegetables to the next level. Come and talk to us.

BRAND ESSENCE
The best things come to those who don’t wait!
That sensation. You know the one. That explosion of taste, that rush of flavour. It’s the pleasure that comes from devouring those nectarines positively dripping with juice. It’s that perfect peach, that amazing Apricot. It’s that unmistakable taste of summer all year round.
But sometimes. Sometimes it can be a little bit too much like hard work. Picking the right fruit in-store. Bringing them home. Watching them ripen. Trusting they’ll be worth the wait.
No more we say. Dole is proud to present our ‘Good 2 Go’ range of ripe and ready, sumptuous, scintillating stone fruits!
Because in Dole, we believe you’re entitled to have it all- the tastiest varieties grown to the highest standards, brought to you in pristine condition: good to go, ready to eat and tasting sublime.
Not sometimes- every time. It’s what we do.

APPROACH TO THE SUSTAINABILITY GOALS
The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a comprehensive framework addressing global challenges such as poverty, hunger, climate change, and inequality.

Our new, reset sustainability goals were developed by representatives across all areas of our business to ensure they reflect our collective ambitions and commitment towards making a positive impact. These goals are aligned and contribute to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) prioritising 10 of the 17 goals.

Establishing clear targets and priorities is a recognised prerequisite for the effective measurement and management of impact in sustainability terms.
In December 2022, Dole plc committed to a new suite of group-wide goals dedicated to bringing focus and transparency to our sustainability strategy and aligned to our three pillars and the UN Sustainability Goals.

In 2022 Dole plc developed its first Materiality Matrix. Based on input from our employees and a suite of external stakeholders, we identified the most relevant sustainability issues to Dole plc and those where we can apply the greatest influence. These results formed the basis upon which our evolving sustainability framework was constructed, categorising findings under our For People, For Food and For Nature pillars. We believe a detailed materiality analysis is an important tool for identifying the most significant sustainability issues with respect to both our business and our stakeholders’ priorities and expect to complete a Double Materiality Matrix in 2024.
