The two certification standards for flowers and plants agree cooperation.
MPS and GLOBALG.A.P. have announced their agreement to work together and offer a synchronized certification solution for the horticultural sector.
The partnership will combine the MPS-ABC system with the GLOBALG.A.P. certification standard. Growers will be offered a one-stop solution: two certificates with a single audit, with the additional benefit of having access to the MPS-GAP Brand when these assessments are also combined with GRASP.
“Our aim is to offer a single point of entry for growers and their retail customers to demonstrate their progress towards sustainability”, said Theo de Groot, Director of MPS, “because we recognize the trend toward asking for more data and transparency in combination with good practice (G.A.P.) certification in the coming years.”
