Working together for a greener future

Our strategy in terms of sustainability

Continuing to grow within the limits of the planet and its resources will be the challenge for our industry in the coming years. Van Dijk Flora firmly believes that the innovative horticulture sector is ready to provide sustainable solutions so that everyone can continue to enjoy the positive energy that flowers and plants bring. Together with our partners, we work hard on this every day.

We consider it important that processes throughout the entire chain are as environmentally friendly as possible. Together with our partners, we seek the best ways to reduce our footprint, such as minimizing the negative impact of cultivation or using smart methods for packaging and transporting ornamental plants. We explore solutions to reduce energy, crop protection products, packaging, and water usage. Additionally, by finding new destinations for waste streams and building sustainable collaborations, we contribute to a greener future.

Respect for nature, focus on people

We believe that we have a social responsibility and a role model function within our sector. Because we want to care for our planet responsibly, we reflect on urgent global issues so that we can adapt our processes accordingly.

The main themes we focus on

Together with our partners, suppliers, and other stakeholders, we renewed our sustainability strategy in 2023. Naturally, we align with the sustainability strategy of Dutch Flower Group and have established three pillars: acting responsibly, our people, and protecting our planet.

For the pillar 'protecting our planet' we have defined three sustainable focus areas. Concrete, tangible, and clear. With these themes, we believe we can make a difference in the supply chain.

• Sustainable packaging
  
  
• Biodiversity
  
  
• CO2 reduction
