With growers, on the road, in distribution centres and in the office: every link in the chain offers opportunities for increasing sustainability. By employing smarter work methods, we can help save the environment and avoid unnecessary costs.

Sustainability all the way down the chain

The Greenery carefully considers opportunities for increasing sustainability. We implement cost-effective new technologies. We also make processes even more efficient. This means we need fewer raw materials to achieve the same goals. Here are a few examples: we use energy-efficient light sources in buildings, cut down on material by using innovative packaging solutions and use new cooling cells that use CO₂ as cooling agent instead of harmful HCFCs and CFCs.

Efficient logistics

Currently, the best option for transporting fruit, vegetables and mushrooms is road transport. Using an advanced planning system, we minimise the number of transport movements. With a modern fleet we keep fuel consumption to a minimum. For example, deploying LHVs (Long Heavy Vehicles) saves us some 15% of fuel per pallet.



Thanks to our noise-reducing trucks, we can steer clear of busy times on the road. As a member of the Fresh Corridor initiative we support the development of alternatives, such as using rail and internal shipping links.

Fair pay for fair work

The hard work of growers should remain economically viable. This gives entrepreneurs the confidence and financial scope to innovate and invest. By continuously optimising the chain, we create more financial scope for growers.
