Since Subsole began, respect for the environment and for every work team, has been the beating heart of its mission. The company has invested in policies and processes to encourage their growers, packing houses and processing plants to work to achieve the most respected ag industry certifications. And ensure that respect for the environment and for all workers is Job #1 for management teams across Subsole’s value chain.
Beginning in the 2000’s, Subsole made the strategic decision to champion and encourage their growers to achieve the industry’s most rigorous certifications, especially around food safety. Subsole did this by first, becoming experts in the standards the most demanding yet voluntary, certifications require. They then coach and support their growers, throughout the application process, about what is necessary to receive certification. This effort is in service of Subsole growers becoming leaders in the critical areas of food safety, and ethical and responsible work.
GLOBALG.A.P. IFA is an international certification that assures compliance with best agricultural practices in the processing of fruit.
Subsole’s growers, supported by the Subsole Sustainability Team, were among the first to be certified in Chile starting with the 2001-2002 season. Since then, Subsole has actively worked to assure that all growers maintain their GLOBALG.A.P. Certification and incorporate new standards as they are introduced.
This protocol is an excellent basis on which to achieve other, more specific certifications, such as GRASP, Tesco Nurture and SPRING. All are part of the grower auditor program to comply with specific customer requirements.
In 2022, Subsole received GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody (CoC) certification for Exportadora Subole S.A. (CoC 4063651225792). Servicios Agroindustriales Subsole S.A. (CoC 4063651225808) was also achieved, with the objective of ensuring the integrity of the product throughout the supply chain.

Food safety and maintaining optimal quality does not end when Subsole fruit leaves the packing house. Effective food safety must continue along the entire chain, in order to offer a final product that meets the high standards of Subsole’s customers.
The certification of packing houses and cold storage facilities are also key to product safety. Base certifications are on protocols recognized by GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative), such as BRCGS Food Safety and Primus GFS.
