UNICA has joined as a participating member, which gives it a higher level of commitment and greater involvement.

“Our business model as an agricultural cooperative has many values ​​related to this global commitment. But we have to do much more; our company culture must be oriented towards contributing to the objectives of sustainable development as the basis of all our actions as an organisation,” said director of UNICA, Enrique de los Ríos.
“None of this will be worth anything”, said de los Ríos, “if the consumer does not distinguish or does not value sustainable products with social value. In this field, as in the health of the products, it is not enough to be so but to make it known and that the consumer prefers us through collaborative marketing between related companies compared to other companies and products that do not meet these requirements. We produce health, fruits and vegetables that are healthy foods, mainly through social economy companies that ensure that the wealth that is created is distributed fairly. By adhering to the Global Compact we want to communicate that social contribution that we make, the wealth that is distributed in society, the economic sustainability of the product, how important it is for thousands of families the fact that fruits and vegetables generated through the gear are consumed of companies of social economy, from the respect to the environment.”

UNICA joins thousands of companies worldwide and is committed to taking responsible corporate actions to create the world we want.
