Florverde®: Colombian Growers' Commitment to our Workers
and our Natural Resources
Florverde® is a unique certification to ensure all flowers
grown and harvested in Colombia meet specific social and environmental
standards. This program was started ten years ago by a forward
looking group of Colombian flower growers to insist on a common
level of best practices that would improve the lives and living
standards of all floral farm workers and their families. In addition
to establishing social benchmarks, Florverde® standards preserve
and protect the rich soil and natural resources for the industry's
farmers for generations to come and satisfy global demand and
desire for high-quality, affordable flowers year round. In 2003,
independent verification by SGS Group, a global leader in inspection,
verification, testing and certification, was implemented to assure
our customers and consumers that these standards were being met.
