Florverde® Sustainable Flowers
Certificate Description
Florverde Sustainable Flowers is an independent social and environmental standard for the flower sector backed by a team of agronomists, social workers and other professionals.
This team is responsible for reviewing and updating the standard under the guidance of an advisory council made up of flower growers, agronomists, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and government officials. Any major changes proposed must also be submitted for public consultation.
Whilst Florverde Sustainable Flowers is responsible for setting the standard and obtaining stakeholder approval, the certification itself is awarded by third party certification bodies, such as Icontec and NaturaCert. The certification process includes reviewing farm documentation, inspecting farms, interviewing workers, and reviewing lab tests results.
