A Sustainable Business – Our Passion
We started in 1997 craving to show the world the beauty and premium quality of Ecuadorian roses. We have been part of this beautiful industry since it all began, witnessing and being part of its expansion reaching new horizons.
As a producer we have always focused, primarily, on making every step of the process functional, complete, innovative and sustainable, this is why we can offer our customers consistent premium quality Ecuadorian flower varieties.
Our sustainability is based on three main pillars:
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:
We are aware of the social needs of our communities; we know that our actions and commitment as a company will make a powerful impact and increase the possibilities of real change. This is why we proudly partnered with Fundación Azulado.
- Our employees have continuous educational meetings by Fundación Azulado experts, in which they cultivate their personal and family well-being.
ENVIRONMENTAL CARE:
We use a variety of eco-friendly systems to take care of every resource involved in the flower production processes. We take care of the water, soil, air, and each one of our employees.
- 100% compliance with the Ecuadorian environmental regulatory framework; one of the strictest in Latin America.
- We are pioneers in the development of new organic fertilizers and nutrients made with microorganisms that maintain our soils well-balanced, rich in nutrients, and fertile.

- Rainwater is captured, stored and used in the crop.
- Continuous educational meetings by Fundación Azulado experts regarding positive discipline & parenting training.
