Being a sustainable company is as key to Subsole’s original mission, as is offering superior fruit to global customers. Respect for the environment and regard for the entire work team have always been core Subsole values.

These values have been further reinforced through the company’s acquisition by Frutura in 2021. Frutura, and their companies, are united in an abiding commitment to the principles of ESG. Subsole is now part of Frutura’s network of global companies, working together to share knowledge about smart ways to innovate around impact.

Since its founding, Subsole has built a corporate culture highly committed to the protection of Chile’s habitat and the people of Subsole remember that sacred pledge in each step of the production process. From the farms; to the packaging and cold storage plants; and until the fruit reaches its destination – an awareness of the needs of the planet have always been central to Subsole’s work.

To ensure that these values ​​are put into action vs remain simply intentions, the company has developed a powerful certification program.

Energy Management Program

In 2013, Subsole became the first agricultural company in Chile to install a photovoltaic plant, marking a milestone in the adoption of renewable energy within the sector.

Since then, the company has implemented solar generation projects at its table grape operations in the Copiapó Valley and at its Isla de Maipo plant, supporting emission reductions and the use of clean energy in its processes.

Additionally, Subsole is in the process of signing, expected in February 2026, a 100% renewable energy supply agreement with Copec Emoac for five of its operations: Hijuelas Plant, Isla de Maipo Plant, Olivar Plant, Agrícola Don Alfonso, and Parronales Tinamou Copiapó.

BIODIVERSITY

Since 2016, Subsole in collaboration with the Pontificia Universidad Católica, has actively participated in research and development projects focused on biodiversity and regenerative agriculture. These are two promising paths towards a future where Subsole continues to supply the global marketplace with high quality nutritious fruit, maintaining its focus on protection and care for the planet.
Some of the results of these projects include: nesting sites for the habitat and refuge of endangered endemic birds such as the Tijeral, Chilean Swallow and the Chercán; proposed cover crops for the enrichment and care of the soil; waste management and vermiculture; elaboration of bio inputs and production of native plants, among others.
