Sustainability: what is it and where do you start? This is different for every company. In this workshop you map with one of our specialists what sustainability means to you and your company. You learn what terms such as “sustainable”, “footprint” and “circular” really mean and how they can be applied. We then translate this according to the SMART principle (Specific, Measurable, Ambition, Realistic, Time) very concretely to your company and together we draw up a vision for the future.

As a result, after 2 hours of workshops you know what the best next steps are for you: is that an extensive footprint calculation, or can action be taken immediately? After the workshop you will receive a report of the session and feedback on the provisional action plan.

The workshop takes place at the World Horti Center, or at the participating company (extra travel costs when outside the South Holland region, North Holland south of Amsterdam).

Need a first insight and get started right away? Then do a quick scan! In one part of the day we map out where the greatest impact can be found within your company, so that you know where your opportunities lie. We also look at the impact of one or more products. The program starts with a general introduction about sustainability and life cycle analysis (LCA), so that it is clear what we do exactly and what the result is. We then perform the quick scan with company data that you have collected in advance. Together we look at the results to see where the greatest impact lies and together we look for improvement potential. Hereby we ask ourselves the following questions:

What do you have the most influence on, what are the quick wins, and which chain partners are important in your footprint?

As a result, you have an image that you need to work on to reduce your impact and we turn it into a joint action plan. Afterwards you will receive a short report, including the results.

One of our specialists will be happy to come to you (extra travel costs when outside the South Holland region, North Holland south of Amsterdam).

After making a footprint calculation, all kinds of improvements can be found internally. Super of course, but how are others actually doing in terms of sustainability? A lot can be learned by talking to other companies and looking at each other’s results. With this 2-hour workshop you will, together with 1 or more companies, compare footprints and exchange information.

You are asked to submit a maximum of two products for comparison. The impact of these products and the company is analyzed in advance and compared with the other participants. During the workshops we will look at this comparison together to learn from each other: where does a certain impact come from? Which choices have been made? Then we look at possible improvements. After the workshop you are encouraged to write a small improvement plan based on this workshop. Feedback on this improvement plan and a report of the workshop will be sent.
