| The global cut-flower industry has undergone significant changes during the last two decades. The most relevant one has been the relocation of production to developing regions of Latin America and Africa. African countries ? such as Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda ? have become the main exporters of cut flowers to the European Union. Flower growers have thrived and cut flowers have become an important source of foreign income and job creation in South and Eastern Africa. However, the social and environmental risks associated to flower exploitations are high. European clients are already demanding sustainable flowers and asking their African suppliers to comply with certain standards and certifications. But for the producers to be able to meet these requirements, a bridge needs to be built: adapted codes of conduct. In this paper, we present the story of the Ethiopian cut-flower industry and how it has developed and implemented successfully its own code of conduct. | |
