Vertically integrated producer honoured during Walmart’s Produce Growth Forum in Bentonville, adding to impressive track record of recognition from US retail giant
Family-owned, vertically integrated banana supplier One Banana has received one of Walmart’s prestigious Trust Awards.
The presentation was made during the Produce Growth Forum held in the retailer’s home town of Bentonville, Arkansas, and is said to highlight One Banana’s leadership in delivering fresh, safe, and sustainably grown bananas, while advancing food safety, regenerative agriculture, and customer-focused innovation.
The company was named Supplier of the Year by Walmart in 2013, and two years later was a finalist for the same award.
In the past three years, One Banana has twice earned the Giga Gurú distinction as part of Walmart’s Gigaton Project, which honours suppliers that lead in emissions reduction and sustainability innovation.
As one of Walmart’s global suppliers, One Banana apparently stood out among thousands for its consistent performance in terms of quality, availability, and support for the health of people and the planet.
“Being recognised once again by Walmart is a true honour, and a reflection of our commitment to doing things right,” said Rob Adams, president of One Banana.
“We are proud to be part of the select group of suppliers that, year after year, stand out for their good practices. This recognition validates our main purpose: to create change for the better, One Banana at a time.”
