Sustainability at C.S. Weijers
Our Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility
CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate social responsibility is part of our DNA. For us, CSR means taking responsibility for societal challenges such as air pollution, climate change, working conditions, and an aging population.
We consider the social and environmental impact of all our activities—across every aspect of the company, including purchasing, sales, production, logistics, and our HR policies.
Waste Management
Our sustainability efforts began with waste separation. In the flower bulb sector, we deal with various waste streams including agricultural waste, paper/cardboard, plastic, and other combustible business waste. Discarded equipment and materials are properly disposed of and partially recycled where possible.
Use of Crop Protection Products
Crop protection treatments are carried out exclusively by certified external parties. This ensures compliance with the latest laws and regulations. An added benefit is more efficient use of materials and the elimination of leftover chemical storage on-site.
Platform for Sustainable Trade
We are a proud participant in the Platform for Sustainable Trade, contributing to a resilient and future-proof flower bulb and perennial sector. The goal: high-quality products cultivated and traded with respect for people, society, and the environment. For more information: www.sustainablesuppliers.nl
Energy & CO2 Reduction
In 2018 and 2021, we installed a total of 2,400 Solarwatt glass-glass solar panels, producing approximately 460,000 kilowatt-hours per year—matching our projected annual consumption. This step significantly contributes to carbon-neutral operations. In addition, most of our lighting has been upgraded to energy-efficient LED fixtures.
Our company holds an Energy Label A certification.
