Reap the rewards of your sustainability efforts
Florists are eager to make sustainable choices; green is in their hearts. But how do you do that in an educated way? We asked Sanne Bruil of VBW about sustainability developments in the industry.
Spoga+gafa 2025 starts on Tuesday

One unified voice for floriculture
Flowers connect people and offer solace, plants green our living environment and contribute to our mental and physical well-being. Sustainability is an essential condition for the future of the sector. The floriculture sector is therefore fully committed to making the chain more sustainable, from breeder and grower to trade, retail and retailer. The goal of Dutch greenhouse horticulture is to be climate-neutral by 2040, and growers and trade have also made agreements on 100% sustainability certification by 2027. The many steps taken by the sector are not yet always adequately reflected in media reports. That is why trade associations are going to make them heard from a unified sector voice.
The approach is as follows. First, through the Green Power Forward campaign and through the activities of Flower Council Holland (BBH). Furthermore, the trade organizations have started a joint communication approach in order to present a unified voice to the media aimed at the future of floriculture. The attitude and behavior of all entrepreneurs in the sector ultimately determine the reputation of the floriculture industry.
