Sustainability Vision
Making the world a better place. Let’s do it together!
Sustainable business is in our DNA. We work future-oriented with an eye for people, the environment and society. If we all consciously do our bit, we can achieve so much. For us and for future generations. Discover our sustainable steps:
MPS certification
Bloomer recertifies each year with MPS (Environmental Program for Floriculture) to ensure our commitment to sustainability and to meet the highest environmental and quality standards within the floriculture industry. We are currently Global GAP certified as a company.
SKAL certification
Since 2021, Bloomer may call itself a SKAL certified organization. We are quite proud of this! In recent years we have invested heavily in environmentally friendly initiatives, such as sustainable packaging, efficient refrigeration systems, LED lighting and securing organic products.
ISO certification
With our ISO 9001 certification, we meet the international standards of a quality management system in which continuous improvement and innovation are central. As a rapidly growing company, it is our mission to optimize processes and continue to professionalize.
Organically & Planet Proof grown
In our webshop we offer, among other things, organically grown (seasonal) products, Planet Proof and SKAL certified products. We are constantly expanding this sustainable assortment. Bloomer is not for nothing the most sustainable supplier in Europe!
Are you a member of the Sustainable Florist Barometer? Then you will receive extra points for every sustainable order. Did you know that we automatically classify your shopping basket according to your sustainable purchases? Of course this is also mentioned on your invoice.
Cooperation Barometer Sustainable Florist
As a leading player, we remain in discussion with SMK, the organization behind the Sustainable Florist Barometer, to see how we can support florists to join. After all, every affiliated florist makes the sector a little more sustainable.
Want to know more or have your store certified? Please contact SMK or Bloomer customer service.
We encourage sustainable florists
We give sustainable florists our full support. We are proud of the customers who have joined the Sustainable Florist Barometer. To them we say: ‘ Nice going!’ We have already given this compliment to flower stores Excellent Flowers, Thistle & Mirt, Atelier Blomane and many others. Keep up the good work!
Promoting sustainable production
We encourage our growers to produce as sustainably as possible. In our Bloomer webshop, certifications such as MPS, SKAL and Planet Proof are clearly displayed. This is because we find that florists are more likely to choose products from certified growers. The shopping cart in our webshop clearly shows how sustainable your purchases are and there is an option to request an overview where everything is broken down. Handy for the Barometer. Responsible enjoyment of flowers, we love it!
Sustainable cooperation growers
Our convenient location in the Westland region offers the advantage that we have short lines of communication with growers. As much as possible, we buy directly from them so that customers have the freshest flowers available. Together we shorten the chain for the benefit of the consumer.
With each new partnership, we ask growers to reduce paper and plastic as much as possible. In addition, we use collective transportation, where growers combine multiple orders. This way we ensure that one transport truck serves multiple customers, instead of 5 trips per day.
