Definition

Floricode manages the register of certificates for floriculture in cooperation with all the important certification bodies worldwide. This register records the certificates for sustainability that a company has including the period of validity. The register includes, among others, the data of the different certificates that are issued by GlobalGAP, MPS, Fairtrade, KFC and Florverde, 14 organisations in total. At this moment, the Floricode certificate register contains the data from more than 3400 companies with about 6000 curently valid certificates. Based on these data, Floricode determines whether a company meets the certification criteria of the Floriculture Sustainability Initiative (FSI).

How to use

Traders (importers and exporters) use the data from this register in their bying and selling systems. The byers can select the products from suppliers that fulfil their customers wishes for sustainability. Customers can select the products that fulfil their wishes in the web shops of the wholesalers.
