Dole supports these goals with a corporate philosophy of adhering to the highest ethical conduct in all its business dealings, treatment of its employees, and social and environmental policies.

Quality Control

Dole's dedication to quality is a commitment solidly backed by: stringent quality control measures, novel and state-of-the-art production and transportation technologies, continuous improvement through research and innovation, and dedication to the safety of our employees, communities and the environment.

DOLE Organic Bananas comply with the very same quality standards as the conventional bananas, with the difference that they have been grown organically.

Vision and Goal

With the organic banana and pineapple research programs in place, Dole is able to fine-tune and implement more natural control procedures in the conventionally grown crops too, which are already grown under the internationally recognized environmental ISO 14000 standards.

Dole was the first company of scale to be awarded the ISO 14000 certificate for all their growing areas in the tropics. All of this is part of the continuous improvement, which Dole sets as its never-ending goal to better serve the environment and the final consumers every day.
