Chiquita Brands today dedicated its innovative Biodigester system at its Mundimar facility in Guapiles, Costa Rica. Joined by Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla, senior vice president for government affairs and corporate responsibility officer Manuel Rodriguez spoke about Chiquita’s newest effort to promote sustainable operations and carbon neutrality.
“Chiquita’s new Biodigester is at the forefront of our global sustainability efforts,” said Rodriguez.
“This technology enables us to harness the full energy potential of fruit materials that previously could not be captured. It provides a sustainable energy source for our facility, nutrient rich fertilizer for local farmers and filters processing water. It benefits our company, our communities and our planet.
The Biodigester is the latest demonstration of Chiquita’s global citizenship and our drive to incorporate sustainability into everything we do.”
“For Costa Rica to continue being the environmental leader it has become, and to strengthen our international position as defendants of the environment, we need to work in alliance with the private sector, especially with companies that guarantee clean energy and environmentally friendly industrial processes. This is why I want to congratulate Chiquita for this new step on the right direction,” said Costa Rican President Chinchilla.
