Adressing Sustainability in a Pre-competitive Manner

Why FSI?

The sector is held back from mainstreaming sustainability in the floriculture sector and increasing demand for sustainable flowers by a number of particular barriers. History has shown that individual fragmented projects have had impact and at the same time have not reached a mainstream level. Therefore the sector as a whole has decided to take responsibility and create an initiative that is desired, created and maintained by the sector and its stakeholders. The will to make sustainability mainstream and a license to deliver is carried throughout the sector and by creating an overarching structure the FSI can face up to the challenges of the barriers and other possible challenges in the future. 

The spirit of FSI:

International agenda & vision on mainstream ambition

Joint action & proactive strategy on current and future sustainability issues
Strong member commitment & accountability on agreed  activities & results 
Business driven initiative with full membership & strong participation of CSOs and other stakeholders.
Light organizational structure
