Why FAIRTRADE Austria Flowers?

FAIRTRADE leads to self-determination, better working conditions and better health protection for thousands of workers on certified flower farms. Flower workers democratically decide how to use the FAIRTRADE premium generated by the sale of each flower stem to benefit the whole community.

In addition to fixed employment contracts, trade union freedom and maternal and labour protection, strict environmental criteria for pesticide use, water and waste management are fixed components of the FAIRTRADE standard for flowers and plants.

FAIRTRADE also supports environmentally friendly flower cultivation. Studies have shown that the carbon footprint of FAIRTRADE roses is up to 5.5 times lower than that of roses grown in greenhouses in Europe.

FAIRTRADE campaigns for better pay for workers, for example by introducing a wage floor in 2017, which led to wage increases of up to 127 per cent.

FAIRTRADE also ensures basic rights such as decent working conditions, contracts for all workers on flower farms and mandatory safety equipment when handling chemicals.

Empowering Women With FAIRTRADE Flowers

FAIRTRADE roses are the front runners among fairly traded cut flowers in Austria.

With every purchase of FAIRTRADE roses, you contribute to supporting women and men in the growing countries.

Through stable purchase prices, the additional FAIRTRADE premium paid for community projects as well as programmes for the advancement of women, we create together with you the breeding ground for the sustainable empowerment of women workers on the flower farms.
