Annual report 2008
Using the theme of ‘cooperation’, which is the thread all through the 2008 annual report, the figures and results over 2008 were presented. After all, good cooperation is vital when two organizations amalgamate. This especially concerns the cooperation between people, individuals. Cooperation of colleagues, cooperation with suppliers and of course cooperation with customers: what do they expect from a new cooperation and what does Horticoop have to offer them. With regard to this, making use of each other’s strong points is the main challenge.
