Cornhouse & Diergaarde Blijdorp

Cornhouse is a Rotterdam company at heart. Diergaarde Blijdorp is one of the city’s most iconic institutions and has been part of Rotterdam for generations. As a Silver partner, Cornhouse is proud to support Blijdorp and its Amur leopards.

The partnership reflects Cornhouse’s connection with Rotterdam and its support for an institution that is part of the city.

Why this matters to Cornhouse

Supporting something close to home.

Cornhouse trades agricultural products grown in regions around the world. Nature and natural growing conditions are therefore part of the context of our business.

Supporting Diergaarde Blijdorp gives Cornhouse an opportunity to support an important institution close to home in Rotterdam.

Supporting conservation beyond Rotterdam

Diergaarde Blijdorp’s work extends far beyond the zoo. Through scientific research, international conservation programmes and partnerships with conservation organisations and local communities, Blijdorp works to protect threatened species and restore the habitats they depend on. Its work supports species and ecosystems in different parts of the world.

Blijdorp also participates in the European population management programme for the Amur leopard, connecting the species associated with the Cornhouse partnership to wider coordinated conservation efforts.

As a Silver Partner, Cornhouse is proud to support Diergaarde Blijdorp. We believe it is important to support an organisation that works to preserve nature and wildlife around the world through conservation, research and nature restoration. With its strong Rotterdam roots and international conservation work, Blijdorp represents a cause Cornhouse is proud to support.
