The Compagnie Fruitière Foundation was created in 2012. Its action is in line with the commitment of the Compagnie Fruitiere to social responsibility. For the past ten years, improving the living conditions of the most vulnerable populations in Marseille and Africa has been the common thread in all our initiatives. 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of the Foundation, as well as a new orientation towards the theme of sustainable food. We operate in Marseille (France) and in four West African countries (Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Senegal) by providing support to high-impact projects. In parallel, the Compagnie Fruitière Foundation is pursuing several initiatives: - developing employee involvement ; - partnerships with collaborative groups in Marseille supporting vulnerable populations ; - an artistic and cultural exchange program between Marseille and West Africa. Depending on the international context, the Foundation may decide to broaden its scope of action, notably to countries facing emergency situations, particularly food insecurity and climate catastrophes. The Company : A family business founded in 1938 in Marseille, the Compagnie Fruitière is the main producer of fruit in Africa - mainly bananas and pineapples - sold throughout Europe. The company was initially built around the trading of fruit from Africa and then gradually integrated new trades throughout the chain: • producer with its own plantations in Africa and Latin America • maritime carrier with a dedicated fleet of specialized vessels • fruit distributor in Europe and Africa with the largest network of banana ripening facilities in Europe Employing 22,000 people, mainly in its African plantations (in Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana and Senegal), but also in Latin America (Ecuador), the Compagnie Fruitière committed itself very early on to a proactive CSR approach. As such, it has set up numerous economic and social development initiatives in the countries where it operates.
