Who is Fair Flowers Fair Plants/FFP?
The Fair Flowers Fair Plants (FFP) Organisation is an international alliance of trade unions, non governmental organisations and international flower trade organisations that have all reached an agreement on the standards and procedures to create a decent and healthy industry that better symbolises the flowers they are selling and their aspirations for an ethical flower industry. 

What is the aim of Fair Flowers Fair Plants?
Essentially the goal of the Fair Flowers Fair Plants project is to stimulate the prodution of and demand for sustainably produced flowers and plants.  This should in turn lead to a reduction in exploitation of the environment and people by unscrupulous individuals.

How will Fair Flowers Fair Plants achieve its goals?

Interview with Regina Dinkla, Project Manager, FFP Click here to read our interview with Regina Dinkla, Project Manager, FFP
Producers have to meet high standards regarding environmental and social aspects of their production.   If they achieve certification for those standards following inspection by independent certification organisations, they are allowed to sell their products under the FFP umbrella and bearing the FFP label.  This label then follows the flowers from the fields, through to the auction houses where flowers are sold, through to florists such as Arena Flowers, and then finally to you, the consumer.  Spot checks are carried out on certified organisations to ensure no slippage in standards following certification.  Thus consumers can be confident that at every stage they are supporting ethical flower growing practices.
