Alexandra Farms has announced that it has earned Florverde Sustainable Flowers' social and environmental standard practice certification for 2024-2025.
Over three days, external certification partner Naturacet audited both of Alexandra Farms farm locations on behalf of Florverde. During the certification process, Florverde considers three general principles. First, sustainability must be proven through production processes and environmental considerations. Second, employees must be afforded a safe environment in which to work. Finally, guaranteed benefits must be provided to all employees, with at least the minimum governmental requirements.
Alexandra Farms has developed numerous programs designed to meet Florverde's requirements by optimizing processes for minimal environmental impact. "With sustainability at the forefront, programs have been created to manage and minimize chemical use on farms, protect employees against chemical exposure, and preserve our natural resources within the production chain. Programs were implemented to preserve a natural and biodiverse environment on our farms, maintain the balance between productive and native crops, and eliminate process waste with multiple sustainable measures aiming to reduce carbon" emissions.
