We are working to reduce carbon emissions

Working towards fossil-free

The third and final sustainable theme: Working on CO2 reduction. Together with Dutch Flower Group, we have committed to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). The goal is to reduce emissions across our entire supply chain.

To achieve this, we first look at ourselves. Our modern office building at Trade Parc is primarily heated using residual heat, and the electricity we use is fully green. Additionally, our colleagues are increasingly driving electric or hybrid cars, and we encourage them to bike to the office as much as possible.

Does this mean we no longer emit any CO2? As much as we would like to, it is unfortunately not possible for us - just as it is for most companies and households - to operate completely CO2-free. However, we continue to work every day towards further reducing our emissions.

CO2 reduction outside the office

Our office contributes only a small portion of the emissions within our supply chain. The process taking place outside Van Dijk Flora's premises is much more important. For example, think about the cultivation of flowers and plants with our partners, the production of packaging materials, and, of course, transportation. In the coming years, we will further map out these emissions - together with our DFG sister companies - and work on reducing CO2.
