Good news that Ethiopian Horticulture Producer Exporters Association (EHPEA) has started the process with The Consumer Goods Forum #SSCI to benchmark their standard and remain in the FSI Basket of Standards, social scope. With The Sustainability Initiative of South Africa (SIZA) and FSF Florverde Sustainable Flowers (Official Page) already re-benchmarked and Kenya Flower Council and Rainforest Alliance in process we see that the floriculture industry is taking their responsability to meet these references for good social practice, and is in so many ways already working beyond just compliance. For over 10 years now the FSI Basket of standards, including the SSCI benchmark, is supporting equivalence and alignment on what good social practice looks like, avoids duplication of standards, costs and time invested by producers and has market recognition by the 400 members that include all major retailers. For them the standards in the FSI Basket are the preferred choice when sourcing flowers and plants. https://lnkd.in/ewVBaiyU
🌹The Ethiopian Horticulture Producer Exporters Association (EHPEA) has officially submitted its Code of Practice for Sustainable Flower Production for Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative #SSCI Benchmarking! ✨This marks a key milestone as EHPEA strives for SSCI Recognition, joins five schemes in progress for SSCI Benchmarking, adding to the five already SSCI Recognised. 🌱 EHPEA's Code of Practice introduces a voluntary system to promote sustainable social and environmental practices, ensuring continuous development, self-regulation, and certification. As Mr. Tewodros Zewdie, Executive Director of EHPEA, shared, "By adhering to these global standards, EHPEA seeks to enhance the international credibility of Ethiopian horticultural products while promoting sustainable practices across the industry." 👏 We applaud EHPEA for its dedication to #Sustainability and #Transparency and can’t wait to see the results for this benchmark process. ➡ Learn more about EHPEA’s efforts and the SSCI Benchmarking process https://lnkd.in/eNmtqgD8 #Horticulture #EHPEA #SupplyChain #SustainableProduction #SocialResponsibility #GlobalStandards #SustainableFlowers
