Fully FSI compliant with MPS

What is FSI (compliance)?

The Floriculture Sustainability Initiative (FSI) is a market-driven collaboration within the international floriculture sector, aimed at promoting sustainable production and trade. FSI has set a target for 90% of all traded volumes to be responsibly produced and sourced by 2025.

FSI compliance means that a company meets the sustainability standards set by FSI. These standards are structured around three key pillars: Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), Environmental Responsibility, and Social Responsibility. To be FSI-compliant, companies must hold both an environmental certificate and a GAP certificate. Certifications such as MPS-ABC and MPS-GAP ensure compliance with the criteria outlined in the FSI Basket of Standards. Additionally, companies operating in an FSI-designated risk country must obtain a social certificate, which can be achieved through MPS-SQ certification.

Why FSI compliancy?

Consumers and retailers are increasingly demanding sustainably grown flowers and plants. By being FSI-compliant, you demonstrate that your products are responsibly produced and meet sustainability standards. This also ensures compliance with the requirements set by traders and buyers.

Moreover, as of January 1, 2026, the majority of members and suppliers trading, selling, and settling flowers and plants via the Royal FloraHolland platform must be certified according to FSI requirements.
