We believe everyone should have access to the best quality fresh cut flowers, plants, and produce wherever they are. This is why we focus on our farms, supply chains and crop portfolio – to ensure we can get the best quality products to retailers’ shelves across Europe as quickly as possible. But we cannot do this would our other two core beliefs of People and Sustainability.
People are at the centre of our community – and FGI is part of a community of over 150,000 people. We put our people at the centre of everything we do, whether it be development and diversity programmes to help our colleagues build the skills to grow, or the schools we partner with and invest in, or the hospitals we run, FGI has always been a people-centric business. At Flamingo we are committed to respecting labour rights throughout our supply chain, in line with the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) Base Code. Flamingo supports the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining, allowing workers to join trade unions and worker committees and to actively participating in improving working conditions . We promote open dialogue between management and workers to ensure a fair and inclusive workplace.
We want to continue doing what we do best – growing the best fresh cut flowers, plants, and produce – for ever. We see ourselves as the custodians of some of the most amazing landscapes in the world and put sustainability at the heart of all our thinking. Sustainability for us is an entire philosophy, encompassing everything from being responsible for our environments, supporting our communities and growing livelihoods, and doing so in a deliberate and structured way. Our philosophy takes the best of leading lights in this space: we subscribe to 14 of the UN’s 17 Sustainability Development Goals, partner with leading programmes such as Fairtrade and OneCarbon World, and take an active role in welfare organisations such as the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI).
