Although raw material costs are falling again and stabilising, labour costs and interest rates continue to rise. And with sustainability legislation on the horizon, the tax burden on growers will increase. To proactively address these challenges, we must further strengthen our long-term commitment to our partnerships. Future Like all retailers, Royal Lemkes must also comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and provide transparent reporting on sustainability performance and environmental and social impact. Almost all our retail partners are now committed to the SBTi initiative to demonstrably cut carbon emissions by half by 2030. This is a hugely challenging but essential endeavour. However, we are well-placed to offer them a full-service solution in this respect. Royal Lemkes is working tirelessly to comply with more stringent laws, regulations and retail standards as we move towards climate neutrality. Consumers increasingly want sustainable, reliable and locally produced products. Retailers’ preferences in terms of product range and service partners are evolving in tandem with changing consumer demands. With this in mind, we see growth opportunities in monetising sustainability. FloriPEFCR, the new European standard method for calculating the environmental footprint in floriculture, will play an important role and become the benchmark.
