Horticoop is committed to building a sustainable future for the horticultural sector.
The horticultural sector makes a big impact worldwide. Growers make an important contribution to solving the world food problem and the wellbeing of millions of people. At the same time, the sector is currently facing several major challenges. As a result of climate change, it is necessary that we produce these products in a more sustainable way, with attention to the conservation of natural ecosystems and biodiversity.
With our investments in innovative horticultural companies, we contribute to the following SDG objectives:
Hunger is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Despite abundant resources, unequal access and inefficient distribution of food leave millions of people malnourished. By investing in efficient solutions and modern technology, Horticoop wants to contribute to a more accessible, fairer and more sustainable food system, guaranteeing high-quality and healthy food for everyone.
Good health and wellbeing are crucial for the world's population. By investing in companies that enable access to healthy and affordable food for everyone, Horticoop wants to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Ensuring the production of high-quality and nutritious foods is essential in this process.
Responsible consumption and production are very important to work towards a sustainable society. By actively managing and promoting ESG issues at portfolio companies, including circular use of products, Horticoop wants to increase awareness of this topic across its entire portfolio and actively manage and contribute to responsible consumption and production patterns.
Minimising and mitigating the effects of climate change through education, innovation and meeting climate commitments. By investing in innovative solutions for the horticultural sector, such as digitalisation and robotisation of current practices, Horticoop wants to contribute to minimising the effects of the greenhouse horticulture sector on climate change and at the same time actively support companies in mitigating activities and initiatives.
