Florverde Sustainable Flowers

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

🌍 Today we celebrate #SustainableDevelopmentGoalsDay, marking the 9th anniversary since the United Nations adopted the 17 SDGs as part of the 2030 Agenda. These goals address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and justice, aiming to create a more equitable and sustainable future for all. At #FlorverdeSustainableFlowers, we align with these goals, ensuring that our practices promote environmental preservation and contribute to social progress. SDG Day is a reminder of how businesses can play a pivotal role in advancing sustainability by integrating responsible practices that benefit both people and the planet. For us, sustainability is not just about compliance—it's about creating meaningful change. By supporting the SDGs, we strive to improve livelihoods, reduce environmental impact, and foster long-term sustainability within the floral industry. 💡 As we look ahead to 2030, let’s continue to push boundaries, work together, and deepen our efforts to achieve these global goals. #SDGs #Agenda2030 #SustainableDevelopment #Florverde #SustainableFlowers #PositiveImpact #CorporateResponsibility
