Concrete measures, measurable progress

Responsible growing holds practical significance at Bac Orchids. We combine energy from residual heat and solar panels with biological crop protection. This approach allows us to reduce our environmental impact incrementally, grounding our claims in tangible actions rather than overstating our efforts.

## Residual Heat for the Greenhouses

We harness residual heat to warm our greenhouses, repurposing energy that would otherwise be wasted.

## 700 Solar Panels

Seven hundred solar panels generate electricity at our nursery. This concrete figure demonstrates the verifiable scale of our renewable energy commitment.

## Biological Crop Protection

Beneficial insects form part of our integrated crop-protection strategy within the greenhouse. Since 2016, this approach has reduced chemical agent usage by 95%, according to our company records.

## Continuing to Improve

Responsible growing represents an ongoing commitment rather than a final destination. We continually evaluate energy systems, technology and cultivation methods that support healthy crops whilst preparing our family nursery for the future.
