Flower Label Program (FLP)

Based in Germany, the Flower Label Program was created in 1998. Founded by two major associations representing the flower trade in Germany (BGI – German Flower Wholesaler and Import Organization and FDF – Professional Association of German Florists) together with human rights organizations and trade unions, FLP's initiative is to set human rights and environmental protection standards for flower farms all over the world to follow.

The objective of the Flower Label Program is to improve labor, social, health and safety standards for farm workers; improve and reduce the use of chemicals and pesticides on flowers; and to follow stringent standards to protect the environment.

Over 55 farms worldwide have joined the Flower Label Program, including farms from Colombia, Ecuador, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
