Avenue trees
In our avenue tree plots, we grow a wide range of chemical-free trees with the Planet Proof label and the SKAL label. We deploy plant enhancers and biological agents to make the tree more resilient. Through specific ditch and verge management, grass paths with flower mixtures, nesting boxes for birds, we encourage the preservation of natural enemies and biodiversity We work in accordance with the guidelines of the Handbook on Trees 2022
Full-ground cultivation
In Boskoop, we still grow outdoors in the traditional way. We give our plants enough space to develop optimally.
Container field
Container field: On our container field in Zundert, we grow a wide range of shrubs and roses. We have a closed system (recirculating) , so there is no emission to surface and groundwater.
Recirculation
Boot&dart benefits from recirculation at their nursery by minimising water losses and reusing nutrients, resulting in a more efficient and sustainable growing process with lower operational costs. This provides a more stable environment for crops and reduces the risk of diseases and pests, improving quality and yield.
Organic cultivation
Boot & Dart aims to grow completely organic in the near future, responding to the growing demand for sustainably produced products.

Co2 performance ladder
Boot & Dart is actively working on its CO2 reduction. Using the CO2 Performance Ladder, Boot & Dart has gained insight into its CO2 emissions. The emission inventory was translated into our emission CO2 footprint.
- Emissions inventory 2018-2019
- Emissions inventory 2019-2020
- Emissions inventory 2020
- Emissions inventory 1st half 2021
- Emissions inventory whole 2021
- Emissions inventory 1st half 2022
- Emissions inventory whole 2022
- Emissions inventory 1st half 2023
- Emissions inventory whole 2023
From the emissions inventory, Boot & Dart has formulated a number of targets. Based on these targets, Boot & Dart aims to actively reduce its CO2 footprint. These objectives are included in the energy management action plan. Also available in our portfolio at Certificaathouders(skao.nl)
Below is the Report Emission Inventory
Boot & Dart is involved with a number of other organisations in various chain initiatives to reduce CO2.
The CO2 performance ladder is a standard to encourage companies to be CO2-conscious in their own operations and when carrying out projects. This mainly involves saving energy, using materials efficiently and using increasingly sustainable energy. More can be found at www.skao.nl
De CO2-prestatieladder is het instrument bij uitstek voor Boot & Dart om onze emissie-inventaris, of CO2-voetafdruk, te inventariseren, te streven naar reductie en dit actief te bereiken met belanghebbenden om ons heen. Dit wordt middels het certificaat onderstreept.
Through our internal and external communications (including via our website), we aim to periodically update everyone on our progress in reducing our CO2 emissions. You can contact us if you have any further questions regarding the CO2 Performance Ladder.
