Floriculture Sustainability Initiative
The Floriculture Sustainability Initiative was founded in 2012 and brings together over 40 front runners from the floriculture sector. They share the goal of finding more sustainable solutions on both social and environmental aspects for the future of the sector, and set themselves the ambition to have 90% flowers and plants responsibly produced and traded by 2020.
