Fyffes Recognized for Environmental Sustainability Contribution

Irish fruit importer Fyffes has been commended for its contribution to environmental sustainability at the PwC Business Post Sustainable Business Awards gala ceremony held recently in Dublin, Ireland. Ciaran Sweeney, managing director at Fyffes Ireland, accepted the award on behalf of the company.

The global tropical produce distributor was honored with the Sustainable Project of the Year: Agri food 2025 award, based on what judges termed the “exceptional efforts” made by the organization in successfully implementing sustainable farming practices across its operations, resulting in significant environmental benefits.

Chief among them is the introduction of crownless pineapples to reduce food waste; moving to 100% recyclable, reusable or compostable packaging before 2026; and the implementation of regenerative agriculture on its farms to improve biodiversity, soil health and reduce GHG emissions.
