Craig Green
President & CEO
We’ve always embraced a strong commitment to sustainability as part of our heritage, but today our company is more dedicated than ever before to using precious resources more efficiently.”
In 1960, Tree Top was founded as a grower-owned agricultural cooperative to take the excess, unattractive fruit from our growers’ orchards and turn it into healthful fruit products for the marketplace. Throughout the following decades, we’ve continued that legacy of responsibility and minimizing food waste.
We began actively tracking sustainability performance in 2009 and published our first Corporate Social Responsibility Report in 2010, while also developing a Corporate Sustainability Team (CST) made up of employees from across the company. Since then, our carbon footprint has continued to shrink while our goals and commitment to sustainability have only gotten bigger.
FY2023
Since 2010, Tree Top has shared our sustainability goals, efforts and results in an annual report that lets those around us know where we stand. Check out our most recent report below.
In addition to our environmental efforts, Tree Top is always looking for ways to do good close to home.
