MPS and Decorum sign framework agreement

Raymond Scheepens (Area Manager) was present on behalf of MPS and signed the framework agreement together with Stef de Jong (Association Affairs & Business Development Manager) at Decorum. He was accompanied by Charl Goossens of Gova (grower).

Currently, a Dutch grower meets FSI guidelines when they have an MPS-ABC and MPS-GAP certificate. Decorum has the ambition to act as a forerunner in sustainability and therefore encourages its members to also obtain an MPS-SQ certificate and have their footprint calculated. The aim is to market the most sustainable product possible, but also to gain insight into the impact of the products. Based on these insights, growers can actively work to reduce the footprint.

The signed framework agreement will be in force from 1 January 2024 and will run for three years. Currently, there is already a framework agreement  that is valid till the end of 2023. As MPS, we are proud of this cooperation and look forward to contribute to making Decorum and its members more sustainable!
