Alexandra Farms has once again secured the Florverde Sustainable Flowers certification for 2024-2025. This achievement highlights the farm’s commitment to ethical and eco-friendly flower production. While its San Ignacio farm has consistently met this standard, the recent success of its El Jardin location marks a significant milestone.
Florverde’s certification process isn’t a walk in the park. Over three days, Naturacet, Florverde’s external auditor, assessed Alexandra Farms on strict sustainability, employee welfare, and ethical business practices. The results reaffirmed the farm’s dedication to responsible flower cultivation.
Sustainability at the Heart of Alexandra Farms
Alexandra Farms doesn’t just grow flowers; it nurtures the environment too. The farm has introduced several sustainability initiatives to reduce chemical use, preserve biodiversity, and protect natural resources.
Through well-planned programmes, the farm actively minimises its carbon footprint. It manages waste, balances native and productive crops, and ensures eco-friendly production. Every step of the process is carefully designed to limit environmental harm.
Protecting workers from chemical exposure is also a priority. Safety measures are in place to ensure a clean and healthy workspace. By focusing on sustainability, Alexandra Farms keeps its flowers blooming while maintaining a responsible relationship with nature.
Commitment to Employee Well-being
Beyond sustainability, the company values its people. The farm fosters a safe, healthy, and supportive work environment. Employees benefit from protective gear, wellness programmes, and fair working conditions.
Integration spaces allow workers to connect and relax, while work-life balance policies help maintain their well-being. The farm also runs mental and physical health awareness campaigns, ensuring that employees thrive.
Founder Joey Azout credits these efforts for Alexandra Farms’ continued success. He states, “We achieve these certifications through meticulously organised programmes. Our ethical, sustainable, and responsible practices ensure high-quality, responsibly harvested flowers for customers worldwide.”
