FLOREX is an important ally to people and companies alike that aspire to reduce their ecological footprint by contributing to excellent results with respect of the environment, economy and public health. FLOREX is committed to addressing sustainability issues throughout the entire life cycle of its products.

From the outset, FLOREX’s infrastructure facilities have been designed as “Eco-friendly Facilities”, taking into account the design, the strategic positioning, and the processes involved in manufacturing the product, in order to make the most of the natural resources available. For example, these facilities allow FLOREX to: (i) use solar energy to power the entire office building and production facility; (ii) collect rainwater for later use in certain production processes; (iii) take advantage of naturally occurring wind currents; (iv) illuminate the work space with ambient lighting during the day and high-performance light bulbs during the night; and (v) use mechanical forces (like gravity and pressure) to package products; among others.  FLOREX is proud to have the first Eco-friendly Production Facility in Costa Rica.

An Eco-friendly Product is any product that serves a need and has exemplary environmental performance throughout its life cycle. All FLOREX products are specifically developed to have the least possible impact on the environment at each stage of the product’s life cycle.
This process begins with the search and extraction of raw materials (which are progressively becoming more and more eco-friendly), and is followed by the constant development of new product formulas with lesser environmental impact and greater performance. Our products are concentrates and are distributed in a wide range of package sizes; this is done to: (i) minimize water consumption during the production process; (ii) decrease the use of plastic in the packaging; and (iii) reduce emissions during transport. FLOREX products are biodegradable and free of toxins and contaminants. FLOREX also encourages customers to reuse or recycle product packages through the company’s “ECOlones” platform.

The B Corp certification objective is to construct an economy that can create extensive value at a global scale. Its aim is to promote alternative forms of economic organization that can be measured simultaneously in terms of the wellbeing of individuals, society at large, and the world as a whole, and takes short- and long-term aspects into consideration.
Being a B Corp means that FLOREX is committed to demonstrating that companies can be a force for change and contribute to the solution of major socio-environmental issues. B Corporations have the ambition of being more than just the best in the world, but to be the best forthe world. That is why they seek to protect their mission statements and satisfy the requirements for certification. In addition, these companies endeavor to demonstrate that it is possible to simultaneously pursue a triple impact in terms of the three pillars of sustainability (the economic, social and environmental pillars), without compromising their commitment to continuous, legal and long-term improvement.
