VeriFlora

VeriFlora is a third-party sustainability certification program for cut flowers and potted plants, administered by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). It is accredited under ISO/IEC Guide 65, the international standard governing third-party product certifiers, and is recognized in the United States and Canada.

The VeriFlora label signals that certified flowers and plants were produced in ways that prioritize environmental performance, social responsibility, and product quality. This means certified growers and suppliers are evaluated on practices such as pesticide management, water and energy use, soil health, worker welfare, and fair labor conditions throughout the supply chain.

VeriFlora is relevant for growers, distributors, and retailers in the floral industry who want to demonstrate credible, independently verified sustainability practices to environmentally and socially conscious buyers. For consumers and businesses purchasing flowers, the certification provides assurance that the products they source meet recognized standards beyond conventional production methods.
