Sustainability

Responsible peatland management

Laflora ensures a complete cycle of peat extraction and processing—from preparing the peat extraction sites, extracting peat, and processing it into high-value horticulture products to the long-term development or recultivation of the land.

This approach allows the quality control and promotes sustainability at all stages, in line with European Union guidelines and regulations aimed at achieving climate neutrality, as well as environmental, social responsibility, and good corporate governance practices.

Laflora's goal is to move towards scientifically proven climate neutrality by 2050 by reducing and offsetting emissions generated during peat extraction and processing. To achieve this, Laflora:
