Flamingo Horticulture finalist in three categories at 2024 biz4Biz Awards

UK – Flamingo Horticulture has been named a finalist in three categories for the 2024 biz4Biz Awards: Best Corporate Social Responsibility, Best Sustainability & ESG Award, and Large Business of the Year Award.

This recognition reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability, ethical business practices, and overall excellence in horticulture.

The biz4Biz Awards are a prestigious business awards program held annually in Hertfordshire, UK. They honor the success of businesses across different industries, offering an impartial and independent platform for recognition.

The awards attract significant attention from the local business community, bringing together leaders and innovators.

“Being selected as finalists in three categories is a testament to our dedication to sustainability, corporate responsibility, and the consistent efforts of our team,” a representative from Flamingo Horticulture said. The event will take place on November 29, where the winners will be announced.

The horticulture industry has seen increased emphasis on sustainability, and awards like these play a crucial role in setting benchmarks.

Winning or even being a finalist can enhance a company’s reputation, improve visibility, and provide networking opportunities.

The Best Sustainability & ESG Award recognizes businesses that have made significant strides toward sustainable practices, a category where Flamingo Horticulture has previously excelled.

Recognition in this category encourages other businesses in the sector to implement more environmentally responsible methods.

For Flamingo Horticulture, this is not the first time they have been acknowledged for their sustainability efforts. In 2023, the company won the same award, further solidifying its reputation as a leader in sustainable practices.

Flamingo Horticulture is one of the leading vertically integrated horticultural businesses, with a strong focus on sustainability and ethical practices.

The company specializes in growing, processing, packaging, and distributing fresh flowers, plants, and premium fresh produce. It has a significant global presence, operating on over 1,300 hectares in Kenya and Ethiopia and partnering with 900 growers across 19 countries.

Supplying major European retailers such as Tesco, Marks and Spencer, and Sainsbury’s, Flamingo Horticulture prides itself on its full-service model. This approach ensures that their products maintain quality and freshness from the farm to the shelf.

“We take our role in sustainability seriously, and it’s deeply integrated into every part of our business—from farming to packaging. This recognition validates the hard work of our teams and partners,” added the representative.

As the company prepares to attend the awards event in November, the excitement within Flamingo Horticulture is palpable.

Winning in any of these categories could further enhance its already strong standing in the horticulture industry and inspire other businesses to follow its path of sustainability.

Flamingo Horticulture’s track record, global reach, and commitment to ethical business practices position it as a key player in the horticultural sector, making them a strong contender for these coveted awards.
