We respect the rights of every employee and customer and ensure they are treated fairly and without discrimination.

Employment of persons of different sex, age, religious belief etc. is our practice. The purchasing of products from not only male based but female based entities is also an on-going occurrence throughout Jamaican Fresh modus operandi.

Community

While we take pleasure in terms of our contributions made to the economies of countries within which we operate through the buying and selling of local Jamaican Products, the provision of such products to clientele within the marketplace, and the employment of local workers (through direct employment and indirectly through our supply chain); we still believe in providing to the communities within which we operate from and not just a business perspective.

It is against this background that Jamaican Fresh is determined to provide additional community support through education, health, community outreach and environmental initiatives through financial contribution and in-kind donations; provision of developmental incentives to staff and their families and encouraging employees to serve their communities and country through various charitable initiatives.

We are committed to being a good corporate citizen, mindful of our responsibility to give back to the community and countries in which we live and operate our business.

Environment

Everywhere we do business we take satisfaction in our contributions towards protection of the environment. Through the provision of chemical and pesticide free ecosystem and botanical products, our company encourages the replanting of these indigenous plants and overall seeks to operate in an environmentally efficient manner.

Mitigating against any health hazards within the workplace is encouraged through the implementation of policies/procedures and the provision of training to staff.
