With Planet Proof, Lily Company is working towards achieving a number of sustainability goals as defined by the Consultative body for sustainable trade in bulbs and perennials concerning:
- Energy
- Production and Consumption
- Climate
- Water
- Soil, Landscape and Biodiversity
In order to achieve the set goals Lily Company, together with the main players in the flower bulb market, has committed itself to the "Manifesto sustainable trade flower bulbs and perennials" defined by the Royal trade association for tree nursery and bulb products "Anthos".
This manifesto contains the following agreements:
- We actively involve the producers of flower bulbs and perennials in realizing our objectives and we support them in the transition to Planet Proof and the necessary certifications that go with it. Together with them, we also strive to reduce the use of neonicotinoids and other harmful but by law permitted crop protection products and to invest in research into product safety for people and the environment;
- In order to make the product chain more sustainable and guarantee the product quality in it, we work together with the relevant stakeholders in the sector, including producers, retailers, consumer organizations, certifying organizations and control and knowledge institutes.
- For the development and operation of the quality and sustainability program, we use the knowledge and the network of the sector organization Anthos and the research organization iBulb.
- Independent of developments in the market, ethics and corporate social responsibility aspects will be ensured through the sustainability program;
- Supervision of the participating companies will be carried out by the independent institutions SMK / Planet proof (Foundation Environmental label) and the MPS-group.
