Greenhouse construction
Looking for a greenhouse construction company from the Netherlands? VB is a leading greenhouse construction company and active in the USA.
Sustainability is one of VB's core values. The Level 3 certification achieved on the CO₂ Performance Ladder at NCI Certification emphasizes this ambition. This certification is not a final destination, but rather a milestone in our ongoing mission to contribute to a sustainable future in greenhouse horticulture and within our own organization.
The CO₂ Performance Ladder is the Netherlands’ leading sustainability tool. It helps organizations gain clear insight into their CO₂ emissions, reduce them step by step, and communicate transparently about them. By reaching Level 3, we show that we are not only aware of our footprint, but also taking concrete action to lower CO₂ emissions in both our business operations and projects.
GeoPower Oudcamp is an initiative of eight greenhouse horticulture companies from the Oudcampsepolder in Maasland. The participating growers want to save around 15 million m3 of natural gas per year via GeoPower Oudcamp.
VB was asked to design and realize the above-ground installations for Geothermal Heat Maasdijk, a sustainable initiative to promote heat for and with greenhouse farms in the Westland region.
VB was commissioned to design and realise the above-ground geothermal installations and underground transport pipelines for the Geothermal Heat Vogelaer 2 project. The project is an extension of the existing project Geothermal Vogelaer, and will provide heat to 19 new customers. The geothermal transmission grid will be constructed via directional drilling and is expected to be completed in 2024.
Trias Westland, in collaboration with VB, ensures a sustainable way of growing for 54 horticultural companies. VB is responsible for the realization of the above-ground installation of the Trias Westland geothermal project.
We have set clear targets:
To achieve these goals:
“The CO₂ Performance Ladder allows us to visualize our impact and continue to take steps to reduce it. We are proud of this milestone,” says Edward Verbakel, CEO of VB. “It fits in perfectly with our strategy to realize sustainable solutions in greenhouse horticulture worldwide.”
