We're taking real climate action! Our sustainability impact partnering with Ecologi so far:

A large part of how we massively reduce our carbon footprint at Blooming Haus has a lot to do with our valued partnerships with not only Ecologi, but National Forest, Woodland Trust, and Trees for Cities. With their help, every year, we plant hundreds of trees in the U.K. and internationally. Come back soon for more updates as we work to fully illustrate our ongoing impact with our sustainability partners at National Forest, Woodland Trust, and Trees for Cities too.

Trust through Transparency
At Blooming Haus, we're committed to being as transparent as possible when it comes to our sustainability, so you can make well-informed decisions that help support a brighter future for everyone. We strive to be as open as possible about our tree-planting programs, where we source our flowers - even the vehicles and supplies we use. Our goal for the near future is to help you see the exact impact you’re making when you choose us. Thanks to our dedicated and diligent team, you can rest assured that we only use, or partner with, the highest quality, regulated, and trusted companies to deliver our service.
Tree Planting
We're passionate about tree planting. That's why:
- If you plan your wedding flowers with us, we fund a tree to be planted in your name.
- If you buy something from our online shop, we fund a tree to be planted in your name.
- If you become a long-term corporate client of ours, we fund a tree to be planted in your brand's name, annually.
We do this not only as a thank you for your support, but out of a desire to give back from what we take. By reforesting our woodlands and forests, we can help maintain a healthy balance while protecting and restoring biodiversity around the world, in the areas and communities that need it most. As many studies and organisations have highlighted, tree planting is one of the critical initiatives in the fight against climate change.

We Work with Responsible Growers
At Blooming Haus, we pride ourselves on the sustainability of our blooms and foliage, taking the time and care to source eco-conscious options when available diligently and within the brief. We are confident and proud of our long-standing relationships with all of our suppliers. Any flowers that can only be imported are sourced from producers with the highest eco-friendly standards and who share a similar sustainability ethos with their businesses. By 2025, 90% of our sources outside the UK will be classed as. ‘sustainable’ in their production.

Meet Michael, Co-Founder & In-House Chartered Environmentalist
We're redefining what success means - and believe the sustainability of a business to be a huge part of that.
Success means nothing to our team if it's detrimental to our communities, environment, and workplace. Our goal has always been to break the mould, this includes finding and building new, better ways, to do what we do. By actively minimising our environmental footprint, we've fostered a culture of sustainability at Blooming Haus that's mindful of both people and the planet. For us, it's allowed us to expand the reach of our work and create a long-lasting positive impact - which makes us, our clients and our customers feel good!
By leading through example, we hope to help businesses of all shapes and sizes recognise the importance of taking responsible action; show them that it is possible and, most importantly, inspire them to take action, so that together, we can forge a brighter path for the future of not only our businesses but the world.
