The importance of certification
Certification is becoming increasingly important. Consumers want to know where the flowers come from, and what path they have travelled. Marginpar fully endorses this and, as a member, supports the sustainability initiative FSI2020.
Our membership with FSI2020 means that we are working hard to meet social and environmental standards. In Kenya, seven of our eight nurseries are certified with the KFC Silver certificate. Number eight will be fully certified by the beginning of 2020. In Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, where we also produce a wide range of flowers, we are in the middle of a certification process with MPS to achieve MPS ABC, SQ & GAP. We expect to be fully certified with all companies by the second half of 2020.
