    5K CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF HISTORY!

    On May 9, Palmi Day celebrated its second edition, reaffirming its commitment to promoting health, well-being, and employee integration through an initiative aligned with the third Sustainable Development Goal, “Good Health and Well-being.” To commemorate the 50th anniversary of División Agrícola, the race expanded from 3 to 5 kilometers, turning each stretch of the route into a tribute to five decades of history, hard work, and commitment.

    More than 530 employees, both men and women, participated in the Senior and Master categories, following a route designed through the corporation’s farms. Along the way, runners received hydration and bananas to support their performance throughout the race.

    Beyond the competition, employees, their families, and guests enjoyed artistic performances, contests, recreational activities, and experiences supported by our strategic partners. With attendance exceeding 1,000 people, the event reaffirmed Palmi Day as one of the organization’s most important spaces for integration and well-being.

    We would like to extend our special thanks to COBANA, the official sponsor of Palmi Day 5K, as well as to the 25 partner brands, media outlets, institutions, athletes, and everyone whose support and commitment made this celebration possible.

    On May 17, as part of its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, Palmar held the first edition of the “Palmi Day 3K” race, an initiative aligned with the 3rd Sustainable Development Goal (SDG): Good Health and Well-Being.

    “Palmi Day” was created as an initiative to commemorate International Banana Day and Family Day, two dates of great significance for the corporation. Since then, various activities have been developed to promote integration and well-being.

    In 2024, Palmar organized a healthy food contest with its field crews, encouraging positive habits and strengthening a sense of belonging. This year, the day focused on sports as a tool to foster health, motivation, and team connection.

    “Over a thousand people, including employees and their families, joined this event that reaffirmed Palmar’s commitment to health, sports, and family integration”

    Lic. Antonella Palacios, Directora de Comunicación de Corporación Palmar.

    On June 1, the third edition of Palmas Unidas took place, Palmar’s Corporate Social Responsibility Program aligned with the 4th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG): Quality Education. This initiative is designed to promote reading, creativity, and learning among children aged 5 to 12, encouraging values and knowledge that contribute to their development and personal growth.

    Launched in 2023, Palmas Unidas seeks to strengthen children’s education through content connected to the SDGs, promoting critical thinking, leadership, and an awareness of their environment.

    In its third edition, the program succeeded in delivering 300 books to children in rural areas through a two-stage process. The first stage was an open digital campaign that gathered 150 books with the enthusiastic support of employees and the general public. These books were donated to the children of our allied producers’ employees.

    The second stage was carried out in person, with 150 more books delivered directly to the children of our field workers during a special event that included dramatized readings, playful activities, and learning spaces.

    “With small actions, we are transforming lives”,
    said company representatives.

    It is worth highlighting that the booksdelivered were written by Krupskaya Pereira, a renowned author from El Oro, reaffirming Palmar’s support for Ecuadorian talent. Palmar extends its gratitude to the local brands, collaborators, and individuals who made this initiative possible, and reaffirms its commitment to education as a driver of change. We invite more organizations and citizens to join this collective effort that plants the seeds of a brighter future for the next generations.
