The Greenery has awarded its Nature Counts sustainability label to seven new companies.

The seven that may use the label over the next three years are Mts Boon, Pater Broersen, Duijvenstijn, Themato, Anton van Wijk, Mts Meuzelaar and Wim van Dijk.

The companies are regarded as pioneers in sustainable operations, particularly in the areas of energy consumption, carbon emissions, water management, employee care and the reduction of crop protection agents.

The total number of firms that can now use the label is 10 following its launch in 2010.
