The renewed MPS-Trade Portal is now available. With this new environment, MPS takes an important step towards one central location where certification information, sustainability data and product information come together in a clear and structured way.
Over the past period, extensive work has taken place behind the scenes to completely rebuild the portal. The result is a future-proof environment that provides a solid foundation for further expansion and new functionalities.
More insight into certifications and sustainability information
With the first version of the renewed MPS-Trade Portal, several new features have already been added. For example, users can now contact Service & Support directly through the portal. GLN information is also now visible within the portal, and various MPS products have been included, including:
- HortiFootprint Calculator
- MPS-Compact
- MPS-GreenerGrown
As a result, users gain even greater insight into the certifications and sustainability information of companies throughout the international floriculture supply chain.
Exclusive for Affiliate Members
The MPS-Trade Portal is available to companies that are Affiliate Members of MPS. Affiliate Members gain access to up-to-date certification information and additional sustainability data from participating companies.
For traders, retailers and other supply chain partners, this makes it easier to access and use sustainability information within purchasing, quality management and sustainability processes.
A foundation for further development
The launch of the renewed MPS-Trade Portal marks an important milestone, but it is also only the first step. The new environment has been developed as a solid foundation that will continue to be expanded in the coming period. Planned developments include an improved presentation of MPS-ProductProof. In addition, we will continue working on further enhancements to make information even more accessible and user-friendly.

Over 30 years ago, my journey at MPS began after I saw an advertisement in the newspaper. After the birth of my daughter, I was looking to return to work and joined the data entry department. At the time, all data was still entered manually from paper forms. Since then, I have seen the organisation grow and change, and I have grown along with it.Today, I work in the Service & Support department. No two days are the same: one day I help a customer with questions about record-keeping, the next I help them understand requirements from the auction or the UO. It is precisely this variety and the personal contact with customers that make my work interesting every day.
In 2008, I joined MPS through a recruitment agency as a secretary. I then held various positions within MPS and MPS-ECAS, including roles in the Service & Support team and as a planner. In 2018, I left the organisation for a while, but in 2023 I returned to MPS-ECAS as a back-office employee. The people are simply too much fun and the world of ornamental horticulture is so innovative that it kept drawing me back. Shortly afterwards, I started working at MPS as Coordinator Netherlands.
During the final year of my Environmental Sciences degree, I joined MPS for an internship. The internship worked out so well for both sides that I was able to stay afterwards. It felt like a natural next step, because I immediately felt at home here and was given the opportunity to continue developing myself.My work is very varied. I work on different projects and products, carry out research and analyses and contribute to practical solutions. I also manage various systems, support customers with complex technical questions and work with external parties. It is precisely this combination that makes my work interesting and ensures that no two weeks are the same.
I first joined MPS through a friend who worked in MPS’s student team. I continued working here while studying Commercial Economics, and at the end of my studies, in 2004, MPS asked if I wanted to join the organisation permanently. It seemed like a great opportunity, and more than twenty years later, I am still here.No two days are the same, and that is exactly what makes my work so enjoyable. A large part of my week consists of project meetings and translating needs from within the organisation into practical solutions. Thursday afternoon is a regular fixture, which I set aside with a colleague to make MPS 1% better every week. For example, we experiment with AI, build prototypes, improve processes or develop new ideas. The goal is always to work smarter and create more value for colleagues, customers and the organisation.
