Our Approach
Environment
Minimizing Impact
At Universal, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact through responsible practices that reduce our global carbon footprint, protect natural habitats in our supply chain, and educate growers on incorporating sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices.
Social
Supporting Communities
Universal strives to contribute meaningfully to the communities where we operate–globally and locally. Our efforts extend far beyond the fields, as we actively contribute to sustain and strengthen the communities where our growers, technicians, and employees work and live.
Governance
Operating Ethically
We are committed to business practices that respect the human rights of our employees and farmers around the globe. We take decisive actions that lead to lasting, sustainable improvements across our operations, supply chains, and the communities we touch.
Our Sustainability Report
Responding to a constantly changing world has never been more challenging or important. From climate change to protecting water and improving soil health, human rights to renewable energy, we believe that being good stewards of our planet and its people is a shared responsibility that has far-reaching implications for generations to come.
Compliance at Universal Corporation
At Universal Corporation, compliance is more than a checklist, it’s a cornerstone of how we lead, operate, and grow. Our commitment to integrity, ethics, and transparency is embedded in every decision we make and every relationship we build.
