Verhoeve leading the way in greening Revelhorst

Published March 13, 2025

Soon, Verhoeve Netherlands will move into its new office and industrial hall on the Revelhorst business park in Zutphen. The construction has been completed and we are now working hard to furnish the outside area, offices and company hall. As of April 23, our company will be operational at the new location.

Business park Revelhorst is one of the largest heat islands in the Municipality of Zutphen. Like so many industrial sites, it has a lot of concrete and asphalt and little greenery. The municipality has started a project to green the business park and wants to do it together with entrepreneurs on site. With several other entrepreneurs, Verhoeve took up the gauntlet and made a plan for a green layout of the space around the new premises.

In outline, the measures are as follows:

• Planting of 6 trees of decent initial size.
• Instead of fencing, plant approximately 200 m of hedge consisting of native species.
• A planting box every 4 parking spaces.
• Construction of a wadi for infiltration of precipitation.
• Sow with an herbal mixture of the rear yard section.
• Construction of an office garden.
• Paths and patio at the Achterhoeks Padvast office garden. A permeable semi-paving.

With the measures, Verhoeve is contributing to a better climate, a boost to biodiversity and a pleasant working environment for employees. Implementation will take place as early as late March/early April.
