Florverde Sustainable Flowers

Florverde Sustainable Flowers is a certification program administered by Asocolflores, the Colombian Association of Flower Exporters, that sets social and environmental standards for flower farms operating in Colombia. The program establishes baseline requirements across areas such as worker welfare, labor rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions, with the goal of improving the quality of life for farm workers and their families throughout the Colombian floriculture industry.

On the environmental side, Florverde standards address responsible use of natural resources, soil health, water management, and agrochemical practices to help ensure that farming operations remain sustainable for future generations. The program responds to growing global demand for ethically sourced flowers by providing a credible, verifiable standard that farms must meet to carry the certification.

Florverde is relevant to flower growers and exporters in Colombia seeking to demonstrate responsible practices to buyers and retailers, particularly in markets such as the United Kingdom and the United States. For procurement teams and retailers, it serves as a signal that the flowers they source meet defined social and environmental benchmarks.
