Horticulture Entrepreneur Award INNOVATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP In November, the jury of the prestigious Horticulture Entrepreneur Award nominated Royal Lemkes as one of the three contenders. While this was a fantastic accolade, we were even prouder to receive the prestigious award itself on 10 January! This encourages us to continue pursuing the course we have set for ourselves and is an additional incentive to keep developing our expertise in the field of plants, supply chain optimisation, business intelligence and trade marketing. We look forward to being ambassadors for the horticultural sector throughout 2018. According to the Horticulture Entrepreneur Award jury: “The jury is of the opinion that the company’s entrepreneurs initiate and take responsibility for many projects which make the business and the chain more sustainable. Royal Lemkes stimulates grouped transport by region and this results in less traffic volume. The company establishes long-lasting relationships with its suppliers and customers. Royal Lemkes also limits its own footprint and supplies its employees with solar energy. A unique aspect is the HR policy, which is based on the principle that employees and their environment are central to the business. From this position, the company – together with its employees – can optimally serve its customers. Royal Lemkes has a well-rounded management team in which each member specialises in a specific area of expertise. With a strong corporate identity and acting as a trailblazer within the industry, Royal Lemkes scores well on all elements of entrepreneurship and is therefore the winner of the 2018 Horticulture Entrepreneur Award.” 14
