Floriculture Sustainability Initiative looks for founding members

The Floriculture Sustainability Initiative (FSI), an international public private sector that will officially launch during Floriade 2012, invites profit and non-profit organizations that are stakeholders in the international floriculture sector to endorse FSI’s objectives and become a founding member.

Aiming to contribute to greater sustainability and create a more level playing field for producers, wholesalers and retailers, FSI is an international coalition of major players in the sector, civil society organizations and other relevant stakeholders. In the coming months FSI will develop a governance and financial model. It will be financially independent and linked to existing structures to create a cost-effective and sector-embedded initiative. The start-up of the FSI is financed by the founding members and co-funded by the Dutch Horticulture Board (PT) and the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH).
