Trader Portal

What is it?

The Trader Portal by Flori Footprint Tool is a specialised digital platform designed to help floriculture exporters calculate and integrate their own environmental footprint into broader product life cycle analyses.

Understanding the environmental impact of the floriculture supply chain is complex. While growers use calculation standards like the FloriPEFCR to assess the impact of their production activities, they often rely on generic default values to estimate the footprint of the export, retail, and waste phases. This generalisation fails to account for the specific sustainability efforts of individual exporters, meaning a highly efficient trader looks identical on paper to a highly polluting one. The Trader Portal addresses this data gap. It enables exporters to calculate their specific environmental footprint and substitute the generic default values with their own precise data, providing a much more accurate life cycle analysis of the final floriculture product.

Why use it?

Using a dedicated footprint calculation tool allows floriculture exporters to transparently demonstrate their specific environmental performance to the rest of the supply chain. By replacing generic default values with accurate, trader-specific data, exporters can clearly highlight their sustainability efforts, differentiating themselves in a market increasingly focused on environmental impact. Because the platform ensures that all calculations are strictly compliant with the FloriPEFCR calculation rules and the GHG protocol, traders can confidently share their verified footprint data with growers and retailers, supporting a more accurate, sustainable, and transparent floriculture industry.
