Segment ranking summary

Active in the agricultural products and commodities segment, Driscoll’s ranks in the bottom half of the segment ranking. While the company is among the weakest performers in governance and strategy, it demonstrates an average performance in environment and social inclusion. While it performs better than the majority on reducing the use of fertilisers and pesticides and sustainable packaging, it lags behind its peers on GHG emissions, water use and food waste due to its lack of targets. In social inclusion, the company lags behind its peers in terms of commitments and due diligence/monitoring processes. However, Driscoll’s outperforms many of its segment peers in disclosing a commitment to protect the health and safety of vulnerable groups. As for nutrition, Driscoll’s has an opportunity to align with its segment peers in the leading positions by increasing its disclosure on food safety.
