The SureHarvest 5Ps of Sustainability
PRINCIPLES - Strategy drives company direction
What are your Mission, Vision and Values? Where do you want to go? What are your economic, environmental and social principles and goals?
PROCESSES - Management areas
Are your processes – farming, sales, packing, processing, cooling, transportation, HR, etc., operating as efficiently and effectively as possible? Can improvement be gained by changing processes or adding new technologies?
PRACTICES - What gets done and how
Are you employing the “best management practices” according to industry standards and latest science such as drip irrigation, scouting, biointensive IPM, employee benefits, recycled packaging and rail transportation?
PERFORMANCE - Measurements of Outcomes
Measurements tell if you are getting where you want to go. What are the metrics to evaluate your success? What data do you need to quantify your economic, environmental and social performance? What story can you tell your customers?
PROGRESS - Improvements in performance over time
Evaluation, planning and innovation lead to continuous improvement. How are you doing? Where do you need to improve? Where should you focus your resources to get the highest ROI?
