Clover Flowers takes a step further in corporate responsibility

Because Clover Flowers in Ethiopia and the Netherlands are separate legal entities, both locations must be certified individually. This ensures that both the Lilies in Heerhugowaard and the Gypsophila and Limonium in Ethiopia are grown to the same high standards. "This step shows that we want to make a difference," says Danny Koppes, Operations Director Klaver Flowers. "Responsible production is not only good for our customers, but also for our employees, the environment and the communities in which we work." With this certification, Klaver Flowers underscores its commitment to transparency and sustainability, adding value for both customers and its environment.

Klaver Flowers has been providing exceptional quality flowers for more than 50 years, including premium lilies such as Lilium 'Calvados' from Heerhugowaard, the Netherlands, and summer flowers such as Limonium and Gypsophila from Hawassa, Ethiopia. Our passion for innovation and consistency in quality makes us a reliable partner for flower suppliers worldwide. With a year-round supply and strict quality control, we ensure that our customers can always count on the best.
