SUSTAINABILITY THEME 1: CLIMATE Our contribution to SDG number 13 klimaatclimate Through various energy saving solutions and the use of renewable energy in our building, the CO2 footprint of our gas and electricity consumption has decreased considerably in recent years. A small portion remains that cannot be covered by our battery container or the installation of an extra heat pump. The increase in consumption for this portion in 2018 was due to the exceptionally cold months of February and March. In 2018, we entered into a partnership with FairClimateFund, through which we compensate the CO2 emissions of our business travel. We have chosen to support a biogas project in India. Our aim for 2019 is to offset not only our business travel but also our consumption of gas and electricity. “ To succeed in sustainability, cooperation is essential. Royal Lemkes, Royal FloraHolland and three other large trading companies are working together to accelerate sustainable development. Royal Lemkes demonstrates leadership on various themes, such as certification and packaging. Consumers want to know where a product originates from and that it is produced with respect for people and the planet. Royal FloraHolland wants to support customers like Royal Lemkes by placing even more emphasis on offering reliable information in its marketplace, for example about the certification status. This allows growers to raise their profile and customers to purchase more effectively. ” Stefanie Miltenburg Sustainability & Sector Partnerships Royal FloraHolland There are 5 charging points in our car park. 46
