CAIPSA has a scholarship program that offers different opportunities for their employees. Through the application process candidates present their qualifications and what they desire to study. Administration approves accordingly and decides the type of scholarship to give out (full/partial). Here are some of the people that have benefited from the program:
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Supporting Social Development of our Employees and their families
EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Taking care of Payroll costs
For over 15 years, CAIPSA has fully funded the payroll for 10 instructors at a local school: “Hogar Divino Niño”. The school has over 80 students from K-6, all form the local surrounding communities.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Preservation and support of our flora and fauna ecosystems
Our plantations are using the minimum amount of chemical controls, using less plastic for banana bunch protection covers, and all the plastic used in the process is recycled. We optimize and monitor water use in the packing process in the plantation. We have a total of 24.5 ha of reforested area that hold a variety of species. Additionally, CAIPSA operates an on-site airport with high chemical management standards. We periodically train our employees in the protection and conservation of the environment.
RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT
Installation of Solar Panels
In order to decrease fossil fuel energy consumption and reduce our ecological footprint, all three of CAIPSA’s packing facilities are running partially on renewable solar energy. The project is expected to continue growing for the years to come.
