THE GLOBAL IMPACT Global compact The Group behind the brand Green Team supports UN’s Global Compact and is thereby committed to global sustainability through 10 important principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption Value chain Seeds Cones from our own gathering areas in Georgia and Danish cultivated seed plantations Nursery The seeds are processed in Denmark, then packed and distributed to the plantations Plantation The trees are planted in cultivation reliable plan-tations in large units Processing Maximum utilisation of the production for the processing operation centrally located in Europe Marketing Storytelling, experiences, involvement and support Distribution Delivery of a broad quality range in large volumes at the agreed time Consumer Nature’s gifts brought to the consumers for their pleasure and benefit Seeds The value chain begins with seeds from selected cones The seeds for our cultivation of trees are mainly obtained from cones gathered in Danish cultivated seed plantations and our own gathering areas in Georgia, where in 1996 we selected a particularly beautiful section – called A10 – which has proved to grow particularly magnificent and homogeneous Christmas trees. In addition, we also gather and receive seeds from other species and origins, but the selection is always based on a precise assessment of quality and utilisation. The seeds are processed in our own seed processing plant. Nursery The young tree must be well cared for The next important step in the value chain is the nursery. A quality tree requires a perfect start to life, so the plantations and producers get strong and viable plants and avoid unnecessary loss. We have developed a unique stratification system which ensures seeding at the absolutely right time and optimal germination in the field and thus better and stronger plants for our customers. We have more than 240 hectares of cultivation area at our disposal in the nursery, Majland. This is, without comparison, the largest production in the world of Nordmann fir plants. Therefore, we also have particularly high internal quality requirements for effective handling and logistics in order to ensure competitive prices and high security of supply for our consumers. Plantation Plantations close to the customers throughout Europe Green Team Group has plantations around most of Europe where we cultivate fir trees for Christmas trees, decoration foliage and decoration materials. We carefully select those areas where we plant Christmas trees in order to ensure optimal cultivation and delivery. There are many deciding factors, which determine the perfect piece of land for Christmas tree cultivation: Location, temperature, rainfall, soil and logistics. By producing in close vicinity to our customers, we can deliver completely fresh products and simultaneously reduce transport to the benefit of the environment, the economy and ability to deliver. At the same time, it is possible to take into consideration regional differences for requirements regarding the appearance of the trees. Processing Processing of decoration foliage increases value Located centrally in Europe, Green Team Group has its own processing company which produces finished decorations, wreaths and plant arrangements for large retail chains and garden centres throughout Europe. Marketing Marketing and development turns the product into an experience The experience is in the product, and through storytelling we influence the consumers’ perception. We no longer just sell christmas trees, but rather the whole trend around true, natural products for the consumers’ own traditions. The true, authentic and original experience is supported by our marketing material. Our trees will be branded and marketed with focus on quality, nature and environment.
