‘Wow, do you really put such an effort into sustainability?’ We often hear this comment when people come to visit our greenhouse. It’s great, of course, but we really want everyone to know this about us. After all, it is an extremely important aspect of our business. You can therefore find a great deal of information about this on our website. 

Major steps forward

At De Zuidplas nursery, we believe it is important to grow our gerberas as sustainably as possible. We therefore invest in the latest sustainable methods and use raw materials and energy as efficiently as possible. As a result, we already use far less than in our early years, even though we now grow twenty times more flowers.

Footprint

But how much less is this and what does it mean for the environment? To make things clear, we are working hard to make our footprint visible. We will then be able to show what our impact is on the planet. 

MPS certification

The MPS Group – an organization that supports horticultural businesses worldwide in their ambition to improve sustainability – makes the sustainability and quality of companies measurable and demonstrable by issuing certificates. De Zuidplas nursery has been awarded the MPS-GAP certificate.
