Environment

At Graff® Kristensen, we have a great passion for the natural diversity of exciting plant. Therefore, it is quite natural for us to be involved in environmental considerations in the choice of production and in the daily work.

These include; that we sort all waste, recycle waste water. That the discharge of nutrients and pesticides is reduced to an absolute minimum and that we in the choice of heating systems takes the utmost account of the environmental impact.

To demonstrate this effort we are participating in the international Environmental MPS (Milieu Programma Sierteelt), in which all environmental factors in the operation are recorded and classified. We are here classified in category A (most environmentally friendly).

IPM (Integrated plant-protection methods)

To intensify our efforts to implement such a environment vena production as possible - we have in collaboration with the horticultural advice / Gartneriraadgivningen and Plant Pathologist Malgorzata Kepler booted an IPM (Integrated plant-protection methods) project here at the nursery in 2010. The project aims are:
Implement IPM principles at Graff® Kristensen
Possibly reduce the eventual use of pesticide.
Testing the latest knowledge and opportunities.
Strengthen environment and public health.

Energy saving and reduction of CO₂ emission.

Graff® Kristensen A/S and Graff Kraftvarme ApS. started a comment "Energy saving program" in 2009 - with the target / goal "to reduce our use of energy for heating with 30% in year 2013". The project is now done with 1/3 of the time - and the results have been so positive, that we at our strategic seminar spring (2011), proposed an extension of the project, giving us the new target/ goal "To reduce 50% of our use of energy for heating (based on the use in 2008) in 2015." By making these substantial reductions we feel we have fore filled our commercial obligation given by our government / the EU commission (and the coming generations) and have furthermore strengthen our competitive power. 

Here at Graff® Kristensen we are proud to inform, that we have been certified with a Green Smiley by the Danish Working Environment Authority`s
