MPS Group celebrates 30th anniversary: A milestone in sustainability and innovation.

Published: March 17, 2025

This year, MPS Group celebrates its 30th anniversary, reaching a significant milestone in the sustainability and innovation sector. Over the past three decades, MPS has developed into a leading organisation in the field of sustainability and certification within the horticultural sector. The emphasis on environmental responsibility and social sustainability has enabled MPS to become a reliable partner for growers and businesses worldwide.

Thirty years of sustainable progress

Since its foundation in 1995, MPS has been committed to making the horticultural sector more sustainable through data-driven solutions. By encouraging growers to work transparently and sustainably, MPS has contributed to reducing the environmental footprint of the industry. The organisation has continuously innovated its certification and record-keeping systems, adapting to new technological developments and increasing market demands. Over the years, MPS has expanded its services to more than fifty countries, allowing growers worldwide to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.

MPS’s data-driven approach, particularly through the MPS-ABC record-keeping environment, has helped companies monitor and reduce their environmental impact. The integration of various sustainability indicators has made it possible to track progress in areas such as usage of water and crop protection agents. The insights gained from these data analyses have led to targeted sustainability improvements in horticulture.

MPS Group at HortiFlora 2025

Arthij van der Veer, Area Manager for the Americas and Africa, and Remco Landsmeer, who is ultimately responsible for the MPS-ECAS audit organisation, will be present at HortiFlora 2025. The participation of MPS and MPS-ECAS in HortiFlora 2025, which will take place in Addis Ababa from 01 to 03 April 2025, offers an important opportunity to share expertise. During this international trade fair, Arthij and Remco will welcome visitors and provide valuable insights into the future of horticulture. The fair not only functions as a platform for networking and knowledge exchange, but also as an opportunity to present the latest developments and innovations in the sector.

The choice of Ethiopia as the location for HortiFlora is relevant, as the country has positioned itself as an important centre for floriculture. The favorable climatic conditions and the investments in infrastructure make it attractive for growers who focus on the export of flowers and plants. This also offers MPS the opportunity to share its vision and expertise with a growing number of interested parties.

Looking towards the future

With the 30th anniversary as a backdrop, MPS Group looks confidently to the future, where new opportunities and further growth are pursued. The past decades have shown that sustainability and innovation go hand in hand, and MPS is determined to continue to play a pioneering role in the horticultural sector.

In its anniversary year, MPS reaffirms its mission to support horticultural businesses in their sustainability journey. By continuously evolving its data-driven approach and working closely with the industry, MPS is set to drive further positive change. The organisation remains committed to its vision of a more transparent, responsible, and environmentally friendly horticultural sector.

MPS’s anniversary year marks an important step towards a sustainable future for horticulture, and the organisation is looking forward to continuing this journey together with the sector.
