SUSTAINABILITY THEMES 1. Climate Sustainable Development Goal 13 We can only succeed in creating a sustainable supply chain if all parties in the chain cooperate and take joint responsibility. By mapping the effect our products have on the climate, we can discover opportunities that allow us to reduce our impact. Last year, we generated approx. 825,000 kWh of energy from the solar panels on our roof. Our fleet is 64% electric. New lease cars are electric only. We now have 34 charging stations available on our premises. In 2021, we started measuring the carbon footprints of two of our carriers. In 2022, seven more carriers joined the programme. By 2023, we aim to encourage six further carriers to do the same. Working with Wageningen University, we published a white paper on FloriPEFCR, the Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules for the floriculture industry.

We offset any remaining emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) through the FairClimateFund scheme. 28 Number of plants delivered per year
