FLP & Flor Ecuador
Fair to man and the environment - that's what the German Flower Label Program and Flor Ecuador stand for.
Flower Label Program
Flowers are a symbol of joy. The aim of the Flower Label Program is to make this joy sustainable and to share it with those who produce the flowers. Flowers with the FLP label are produced in a way that cares for man and environment. As a joint initiative of human rights organisations, trade unions, flower producers and flower retailers the Flower Label Program implements social and environmental standards in flower production.
FLP certified farms must fulfill the following criteria:
· Living wages
· Freedom of association
· Non-discrimination
· A ban on child labour and forced labour
· Health care
· A ban on toxic pesticides
· Responsible handling of natural resources
The FLP standard bases on the International Code for the production of cut flowers. The criteria of FLP are controlled by independent auditors. Human rights organisations and unions have the right to do spot checks. For more information please see www.fairflowers.de
We are proud to be the only accredited FLP member in the United Kingdom.
