Dole Asia Holdings and its subsidiaries have launched its "Sunshine for all Fund". The company is setting aside US$2 million annually to support global strategic partnerships and innovation in the crucial areas of sustainability, food access and waste.
"The fund is our signal to the world that we are open for business. And that business is finding, fuelling and fostering innovation, actions and change,” said Barbara Guerpillon, global head of ventures, Dole Packaged Foods and Asia Fresh.
The company is currently seeking partners for this initiative. Being eyed are entrepreneurs, startups, social impact enterprises, and non-government organisations. Dole said it could help these groups through its expertise in the following areas: food production, nutritional science, compostable packaging, supply chain, logistics, sustainable agriculture and fast-moving consumer goods spaces.
