Premium flower care product company Chrysal has recently held its international meeting at its head office in Naarden, The Netherlands.
The meeting was attended by around 50 representatives from the Dutch head office and its subsidiaries around the world, with delegates from the USA, UK, France, Germany, China, Russia, Japan, Sweden, Columbia and the newly formed Chrysal Africa all attending. As well as new product development, the meeting focused heavily on the company’s CSR programme, including the Chrysal Cares initiative.
Within this programme, Chrysal has defined six key points, which are: climate, materials, supply chain responsibility, employees, fair partner and local involvement. All of these were evident in the presentations given and the actions being undertaken by Chrysal. As a symbol of their efforts trees were planted in the grounds of Chrysal International to help, in part, offset CO2 emissions of colleagues' worldwide travel.
Detail as to how Chrysal, as a global company, is actively reducing energy consumption, concentrating formulations and reducing packaging were presented, as well as efforts to take production to source with the establishment of Chrysal Columbia and, more recently, Chrysal Africa in Kenya.
International charity Water for People also benefited from the week’s meeting with Chrysal donating 500 euros to their mission to build a world where all people have access to safe drinking water and sanitation, and where no one suffers or dies from a water or sanitation related disease.
Chrysal will continue to look for savings in water, energy, materials and to reduce the company’s carbon footprint worldwide. Delegates returned to their own location with a renewed sense of vision and purpose.
