Impact through our commitment to FSI
Dutch Flower Group, of which we are a part, is one of the founding fathers of FSI (Floriculture Sustainability Initiative). The FSI initiative was launched in 2012 and aims to achieve 90% sustainable production and trade of all flowers and plants by 2025. FSI’s requirements relate to the environment, Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and social issues. In addition to making the floriculture sector transparent and working within the framework of international certificates, FSI is also active in other areas to make the sector more sustainable. For example: water purification, international projects for biological crop protection, working conditions and human rights.
FSI’s requirements emphasize Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), reliable registration, and social responsibility.
