Sustainability
Growing top quality Phalaenopsis in fully sustainable nurseries. That is the driving force behind everything our growers do. So, what does this mean to them? They want to minimise their impact on the environment and their surroundings, give waste streams a second life and safeguard their employees’ well-being. In doing so, they are constantly raising the bar. Over the next few years, they will take significant strides to become even more sustainable. The goal for 2030 is to have a fully circular greenhouse. In other words: a greenhouse featuring a closed system, to grow plants with attention for people, the environment and the surrounding area. The aim is to enjoy greenery responsibly, now and in the future.

Less impact
Our growers mimic Phalaenopsis’ natural environment in the greenhouses. The climate and growing conditions are managed with a view to making the orchid feel completely at home. To do this, our growers need energy and water. To minimise the environmental impact, our growers invest in sustainable solutions that help reduce their energy consumption and replace fossil fuels with green energy sources. What’s more, they are aiming for full recirculation of water. To keep plants healthy, they invest in green crop protection. Our growers have come a long way but are not there yet. They are working towards fossil-free, emission-free and chemical-free production.

Healthy people
Our growers work to produce top quality orchids every day. They – like us – attach great importance to being a good employer, including by creating good employment conditions and a pleasant working environment. Being a good employer is about more than that, however. They want everyone to have space to further their development. That is why our growers invest in knowledge, growth and fun. These efforts result in beautiful orchids that consumers throughout Europe can enjoy responsibly for a long time. In turn, this then leads to healthy people! Plants make us happy, after all. We are more productive and more creative in a green environment. In addition, plants have the effect of reducing stress and boosting our ability to concentrate. And that’s not all. Flowers and plants connect us. They provide a sense of togetherness in celebratory and sad moments alike.
