Blue Diamond Growers
Blue Diamond Growers is a California-based cooperative of over 3,000 almond growers. Formed over 100 years ago as a grower-owned cooperative, Blue Diamond is among the world's largest almond handlers and a market leader in processing and marketing of California almonds. The cooperative produces almond-based snacks, crackers, almond flour and flavoured milk for customers in more than 80 countries. Blue Diamond's flagship brand Almond Breeze is among the leading almond milk brands in both refrigerated and shelf-stable products in the US. In 2019, Blue Diamond launched 20 new products for its consumer market and recently launched its first almond protein powder.
Segment ranking summary
Active in the agricultural products and commodities and food and beverage manufacturers/processors segment, Blue Diamond Growers ranks at the bottom in both segments. The company performs poorly mainly due to a lack of disclosure. In environment and nutrition, Blue Diamond Growers discloses on relevant topics for the segments such as GHG emissions, fertilizer use, and food safety. However, its qualitative and quantitative evidence are insufficient compared to its industry peers and therefore it sits in the bottom half in both measurement areas. Furthermore, the company is among the weakest performers in both segments in the governance and strategy and social inclusion.
