The Ethical Charter Implementation Program, administered by Equitable Food Initiative with generous support from the Walmart Foundation, celebrated 51 fresh produce suppliers that met ECIP Leadership Circle criteria early in this year’s engagement cycle during a reception at the International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce & Floral Show. This year’s cohort is 40% larger than last year’s and has nearly doubled since the Leadership Circle debuted in 2024, even as the criteria have become more demanding each year.
