In recognition of its commitment to employee health and
wellness, Del Monte Foods (NYSE:DLM) has attained the prestigious
Platinum Fit-Friendly status in the American Heart Association’s
Start! Fit-Friendly Companies program for the second consecutive
year. The program recognizes companies that champion the health of
their employees and work to create a culture of physical activity
in the workplace.
“Del Monte’s participation in the American Heart Association’s
Fit-Friendly program is a reflection of our continued commitment to
our employees’ health and wellness,” said Richard G. Wolford, Del
Monte Foods Chairman and CEO. “We are committed to our wellness
program’s growth and continue to expand the offerings every year.
Here at Del Monte, we know that a healthy, active lifestyle is our
best weapon against health ailments; after all, research shows that
for every hour of regular exercise people get, they can gain about
two hours of additional life expectancy. Del Monte Foods is proud
to be part of the American Heart Association’s Start!
Movement.”
Platinum Fit-Friendly companies are recognized for implementing
programs and activities that encourage, among other wellness
initiatives, physical activity, nutrition and culture enhancements,
and preventative health measures. Companies that meet at least nine
criteria outlined by the American Heart Association may be
considered for this highest level of recognition in the Start!
Fit-Friendly Companies program. This year, only 18 percent of the
931 Fit-Friendly companies received the Platinum designation.
Del Monte has created a vibrant wellness culture through the
company’s comprehensive wellness initiative, Living Healthy … Every
Day, a popular program that provides employees with tools and
resources to own their health, lead a healthier lifestyle and make
an impact in the community. Through the program, employees receive
discounts on wellness programming, reimbursement for healthy
lifestyle activities, rewards for preventative health care, access
to health information and resources through a partnership with
WebMD, a free day to participate in community service, and more. In
addition, employees enjoy other benefits through company programs
