We are thrilled to announce that the benchmarking process for the FSI Basket of FloriPEFCR tools has officially begun, following the launch of the FloriPEFCR guidelines by the European Commission in the first quarter of 2024!

Consumers, retailers, and governments are increasingly demanding flowers and plants to be cultivated, transported, and handled sustainably. To meet this growing demand and demonstrate compliance, the FloriPEFCR (Floriculture Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules) provides guidance to measure the environmental impact of cut flowers and potted plants using 16 environmental indicators. This ensures consistent, reliable insight into the environmental impact of ornamental horticulture products.

We invite all tool providers in our industry to use this benchmarking opportunity to demonstrate meeting the standards of the FloriPEFCR method. And also to be open for collaboration through data exchange and actively stimulate business-to-business improvements.

The new FSI Basket supports stakeholders by highlighting FloriPEFCR-based tooling that meet the criteria and help the sector reduce its environmental footprint. Providing verified, reliable environmental performance data is essential to keep our industry future fit.
