Support flower workers, communities, and the environment with VeriFlora®
Floral companies have become a key part of many local economies–for example, in Kenya flower production has become the second largest source of foreign exchange, behind tea and ahead of coffee. Consumers have the ability to tip the scales towards a remarkably better lifestyle for workers in these flower growing communities. Choosing VeriFlora certified flowers sends a direct message to the market that there is value in supporting fair labor practices on farms.
The VeriFlora certification process sends auditors to conduct on-site inspections, document audits and in-depth interviews to ensure superior social and environmental practices. When on-site, our auditors look at pest management techniques to promote integrated pest management and reduce dependence on pesticides. VeriFlora also requires that employers work towards paying a wage that is higher than the industry standard with the intention that wages then stay within the community.
