About Greenhouse Sustainability

Greenhouse Sustainability is a growing and ambitious company with an informal work environment. We emphasize collaboration instead of working in islands (leave that for vacations); we prefer action over excessive meetings. This is crucial, as action is needed!

While many companies are considering investing in sustainability, they often lack clarity about their current standing. Through Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), we provide companies with insights into their environmental impact, resulting in a footprint. We also offer various (online) footprint tools that enable companies to calculate their own footprint.

Our primary focus is on the Netherlands’ pride: the agriculture and horticulture sector. One of the most innovative sectors in the Netherlands, it serves as a shining example for other countries, as highlighted by Sir David Attenborough in the film 'A Life on Our Planet.' Consequently, we not only assist Dutch agricultural and horticultural businesses, but also companies worldwide – from Japan to Colombia. Additionally, we are currently expanding into other sectors.
