Cultivating a Greener Future: Flowers.NL and Our Commitment to Sustainability

Welcome to the Flowers.NL blog! In today's world, sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's a responsibility. At Flowers.NL, we believe that the beauty of nature should be enjoyed responsibly. That's why sustainability is woven into the very fabric of our operations and partnerships, ensuring that when you choose us for sustainable flower delivery in the Netherlands, you're choosing a greener path.

Our Holistic Approach to Sustainable Floristry

Our commitment to sustainability extends far beyond just pretty petals. It encompasses every step from cultivation to delivery, driven by stringent quality marks and our own internal practices.

Partnerships with Certified Sustainable Florists

A cornerstone of our sustainability strategy is our collaboration with professional florists affiliated with Fleurop. For a florist to be a Fleurop member, they must meet the rigorous requirements of the independent **Barometer Sustainable Florist quality mark**. This essential certification, developed in partnership with leading environmental organizations and industry bodies, guarantees that:

• The purchase of flowers is conducted sustainably.
• The processes of arrangement, preparation, and delivery adhere to eco-friendly standards.

This means that every bouquet crafted by our partners is not only beautiful but also conscientiously created with the environment in mind.

Promoting the MPS Quality Mark: A Standard for Green Growth

We actively promote the **MPS (Environmental Programme for Floriculture) quality mark**, which is dedicated to making the entire flower and plant sector more sustainable. MPS certification encourages growers to:

• Reduce their use of water, energy, and chemicals.
• Prioritize environmentally friendly resources.
• Ensure fair working conditions and full traceability of products.

By collaborating with MPS-certified growers and florists, Flowers.NL offers you the opportunity to purchase flowers that are not only vibrant and fresh but also ethically sourced and environmentally responsible.
