Key to being a Grower of Good is nourishing people — including our own team members — with healthy food, opportunities and resources that not only fuel physical health, but optimal mental, social and emotional well-being.

Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

Creating a strong workplace culture centered on diversity, inclusion and belonging starts with a focus on recruiting, retaining and promoting diverse talent. We’re proud of the progress we continue to make at Del Monte Foods to:

  • Increase the percentage of women and BIPOC in Senior Manager+ roles
  • Amplify outreach to diverse talent pools to recruit diverse talent 
  • Connect with millions of historically underrepresented job seekers through a network of community-based organizations and niche diversity sites catering to women, Disabled People, BIPOC, Veterans, older workers, LGBTQ+, Historically Black Colleges and University students and more
  • Growing our network of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), including:

Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality

As a result of consistent focus on creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, in 2022 and 2023-2024, we received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index, the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality.

Living Wage

We’re committed to provide the opportunity for all team members to earn a living wage. 100% of our full-time corporate and 100% of our full-time hourly team members at our manufacturing sites earn above a living wage.

Giving Back & Disaster Relief

No one should ever go without a meal, yet Feeding America estimates that 38 million people in America face hunger. To help those who don’t have enough to eat in communities across the country or those who have lost everything due to natural disaster, we donate approximately 3-5 million pounds of food each year to communities in need through partnerships with Feeding America, Convoy of Hope, American Red Cross and other community-based nonprofits.

Additionally, our team members receive one full paid day each calendar year to devote to community service, while our Team Member Donation Matching Program matches donations to nonprofit organizations, helping them maximize their impact.
