What is FloriCompact?
FloriCompact is a certification standard for smallholders producing flowers and ornamentals in Europe and Israel. It was developed in collaboration with the Floriculture Sustainability Initiative (FSI) and facilitated by Royal Flora Holland to provide a solution for seasonal producers, family farms, and smallholders with an annual floricultural turnover of 250,000 Euro who want to comply with all three scopes of the FSI’s Basket of Standards – GAP, Environmental and Social.
Information in Dutch, Italian, Spanish, and German coming soon.

Check your eligibility here. Once you have confirmation of eligibility from FSI, you can continue to the next step.
To fulfil the data registration obligations of this standard, you must use a compatible farm management software (FMS) to send relevant data points to our systems each month.
Contact the CB of your choice and request an audit. You can use the documents to guide the implementation of the requirements and perform a self-assessment before requesting an audit.
The CB will conduct the audit according to the FloriCompact rules and checklist. Any non-compliances which are detected during the CB audit must be corrected within the specified period and verified by the CB before a letter of conformance can be issued.
When all requirements are met and verified by the CB, they will issue your FloriCompact letter of conformance.
Which documents are required?

Principles: Principles are the fundamental requirements of the standard and describe the outcomes to achieve.
Guidelines: A supporting document that clarifies terminology and outlines procedures to help producers comply with the standard requirements.
