In addition, Bumble Bee is dedicated to supporting the communities and coastal environments in the areas where we operate and beyond. In 2021, we began a partnership with The San Diego Foundation to award local Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) students with academic scholarships on an ongoing basis. Earlier this year, we joined Dole Packaged Foods to support the Sunshine for All Cities program, which brings healthy foods and educational opportunities to those who lack access. And throughout the past year, Bumble Bee Seafood Company team members have participated in over 20 different coastal and community cleanups around the world, preventing over 11,000 pounds of trash from reaching our ocean.

We believe in feeding the world and in protecting our ocean, and we know we cant do the first without also focusing on the second, said Leslie Hushka, SVP of Global Corporate Social Responsibility, The Bumble Bee Seafood Company.
