Sustainability: with an eye to the future

Corporate social responsibility is in the DNA of the CSW Group. As a company, we want to take responsibility for social issues such as air pollution and climate change. We therefore take a critical look at our business processes and are constantly optimising and making them more sustainable.

We started with the waste stream. The agricultural waste, cardboard, plastic and other waste is separated, disposed of properly and, where possible, recycled.

For many customers, certification is an important theme to ensure that flower bulbs are grown, packaged and traded in a controlled, sustainable and responsible manner.

As a participant in the Dutch Sustainable Trade Platform, we contribute to a future-proof flower bulb and perennial sector. The quality of the products comes first, with respect for people, society and the environment. CSW Landscaping is also certified Florimark Good Trade Practice (GTP) issued by MPS-ECAS. With this we demonstrably meet the strictest requirements of governments, landscapers and gardeners in the field of environment, quality and social issues.

Our flower bulbs and other products meet all high EU standards and are purchased in a quality that is suitable for export to countries with strict import requirements, such as Japan. In addition, our company is certified for the storage and sale of organic flower bulbs, issued by Skal.

In 2018 with a further expansion in 2021, a total of 2400 solar panels were installed on the roof of our business premises. The yield corresponds to the predicted annual usage of our company. With this we have taken a big step towards a carbon (CO₂) neutral production process and since then we are certified with EU Energy Label A.
