Royal FloraHolland Sustainability Award
The award for sustainable innovations in floriculture
What is the Royal FloraHolland Sustainability Award?
At Royal FloraHolland, we believe in a thriving future. A future in which growth does not come at the expense of people or the environment, but rather stems from sustainability and innovation. A future in which our members not only supply beautiful products, but also contribute to a healthy, green world. Based on this conviction, we have created the Royal FloraHolland Sustainability Award.
The Sustainability Award is not just any award. It is the annual platform on which members of our cooperative are challenged and inspired to share their innovative, sustainable ideas and initiatives. The award recognizes, rewards, and encourages growers who contribute to a future-proof floriculture sector with vision and decisiveness.
With the Sustainability Award, we show how we take joint responsibility for our planet, our community, and the quality of our business operations. Growing greener together, that's the idea. Whether it's smart water conservation, environmentally friendly packaging, fair working conditions, better business operations, or technological innovations. Every sustainable initiative counts.

How does it work?
You can submit your innovation until August 31. An independent jury of experts will then assess all entries based on sustainability (ESG), impact, and feasibility. The five most promising innovations will be selected and will be given the opportunity to present their ideas to the jury in person. Professional videos will also be made to give the innovations extra publicity. In October, the public vote will take place: all members of Royal FloraHolland will be able to vote for their favorite innovation and help decide who wins. The public vote will count for 30% of the final score. During the festive award ceremony at the annual Trade Fair Aalsmeer in November, we will put the nominees in the spotlight and announce the winners.
What can you win?
In addition to a prestigious physical trophy, the winners will receive practical marketing support to further develop their sustainable initiative. The winner will also receive a visit from the expert jury for personal advice and will be promoted as an ambassador for sustainability both within and outside our sector.
Prizes:
- Gold - production of a brand video & campaign advice
- Silver - strategic session with marketing advice
- Bronze - development of a creative (campaign) concept.
* Prizes can also be used for other support in consultation.
