Sustainability Report Responsibly Fresh 2012-2013


The Belgian fruit and vegetable auctions are joining forces to promote sustainable development. Two years ago, in February 2012, they launched the collective sustainability label Responsibly Fresh. Since then, the auctions involved in the initiative - Belgische Fruitveiling, BelOrta, Limburgse Tuinbouwveiling, REO Veiling en Veiling Hoogstraten - along with the associated producers (fruits, vegetables, potatoes, ...), have been continuing to work tirelessly.

The certificates have been obtained en renewed for sustainable business charters and for the specific quality systems; collective work has been conducted on a range of sustainability criteria. Veiling Haspengouw has also recently signed up to participate in Responsibly Fresh. The details of the efforts being made are being collated in the first Responsibly Fresh sustainability report.

The report has been presented on Wednesday 18.06.2014 by the VBT, in the presence of the participating auctions, to the Members of the Flemish Provincial Executives with responsibility for Agriculture.
