Our contribution to biodiversity

We are committed to biodiversity

Whether it's about ditch water, green verges with or without flowers, forests, seas, or a green residential area, biodiversity is about the variety of life on Earth. Within our sector, we contribute to biodiversity in everyday life. This also comes with the responsibility to protect that environment. That's why we aim to reduce the environmental impact of crop protection products. By encouraging our partners to reduce the use of chemical pesticides during the cultivation of our flowers and plants, we help significantly decrease the negative impact of these products and contribute to the biodiversity of our planet.

Green products

Many of our partners already use natural 'enemies' or 'green' products as replacements for conventional crop protection products. We know this because, at Van Dijk Flora, we have a large portion of our flowers and plants tested for the presence of crop protection products before shipment. We see that the use of chemical products is decreasing.

Furthermore, Van Dijk Flora is SKAL certified. This means we are allowed to trade certified organic products. Therefore, we work closely with our suppliers to expand our organic range.

Our active contributions

To improve the biodiversity of the Earth, we not only consider the impact of crop protection. We also look at the positive contribution our flowers and plants can make to biodiversity. For example, by offering a range of organic (fruit) plants. We also take the changing climate into account, as we want to do our part to support biodiversity in that regard as well.

Finally, we work together with Dutch Flower Group and Honey Highway to create a biodiverse and bee-friendly environment around our businesses.
