Employees in more than 85 cities around the
world invest time and resources in volunteer activities in
recognition of World Food Day.
Bunge has expanded the reach of its Global Volunteer Program
with employees around the world participating in more events in
recognition of United Nation’s World Food Day. In a month-long
initiative connecting employees with local non-profit
organizations, Bunge is focused on supporting food security in
communities where it operates. This year, employees in more than 85
cities have planned events, a 30% increase compared to 2023. These
efforts promote nutrition and well-being and are part of Bunge’s
commitment to creating sustained, positive community impact.
“Our team is committed to doing what’s right every day to
support the communities where we live and work,” said Robert
Coviello, Chief Sustainability Officer and Government Affairs at
Bunge. “I’m very proud to see the growing employee enthusiasm with
our Global Volunteering Program. It’s great to see the unique
collaborations and activities our employees are driving in more
than 20 countries around the world to create lasting change.”
Since the program’s launch in 2022, approximately 200 volunteer
events across the world have helped benefit the communities where
the company has a presence – including coordinating food drives,
donating food baskets to communities in need, volunteering at food
banks, promoting educational sessions with chefs about healthy
eating habits and supporting local organizations which address
hunger and food access. Many of these projects have grown into
multi-year relationships in communities Bunge operates.
World Food Day is an international observance designated by the
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to
promote global awareness and action for food security. Find more
