Corporate Responsibility

Flo Enterprises has always believed that good business begins with doing what’s right. As a family-owned company built on science, innovation, and integrity, we see corporate responsibility not as a requirement but as a reflection of our values. Our mission—to replace petroleum-based materials with biobased, compostable, and high-performance alternatives—guides how we treat people, how we operate, and how we protect the environment for future generations.

Our Corporate Responsibility Policies

Flo Enterprises’ ethical and sustainability framework is defined by the following formal policies:

Social Compliance Policy: Upholding human rights, workplace safety, and fair labor standards across all operations and supply partners.

Environmental Policy: Reducing our footprint through renewable materials, conservation, and waste minimization.

Bribery, Corruption, and Unethical Business Practices Policy: Promoting transparency, fairness, and a zero-tolerance approach to unethical conduct.

Health, Safety, and Product Responsibility Policy: Ensuring our people, products, and processes meet the highest standards of safety and quality.

Community and Education Policy: Supporting learning, research, and public awareness in biobased and sustainable technologies.

Together, these policies form the foundation of our Corporate Responsibility Program—reflecting the same values that have guided Flo since its founding.

Social Compliance

As a family-run business, we hold ourselves and our partners to a simple standard: treat people with fairness, dignity, and respect.

We prohibit all forms of forced, bonded, or child labor and comply with all applicable wage, working hour, and benefit laws—always meeting the higher of legal or local industry standards.

Flo fosters a workplace free from harassment and discrimination based on age, race, religion, gender, identity, or background. Every employee has equal opportunity to grow, succeed, and contribute.

Our facilities are maintained to the highest standards of health and safety, with proper sanitation, lighting, ventilation, fire protection, and medical benefits to support employee wellbeing.

Environmental Stewardship

Flo Enterprises strives to create a positive environmental legacy for future generations.

We design and manufacture products that are biobased, biodegradable, and compostable, using natural raw materials and recovering by-products wherever possible.

We continually work to conserve water and energy, minimize waste, and adopt new technologies that reduce emissions and enhance process efficiency.

Compliance with environmental laws and regulations is our baseline; continuous improvement is our goal.

Bribery, Corruption, and Unethical Business Practices

Flo Enterprises enforces a zero-tolerance policy for bribery, corruption, or fraudulent activity.

We expect every employee, agent, and supplier to conduct business ethically and transparently, in full compliance with applicable laws.

Conflicts of interest, improper payments, or misuse of company resources are not tolerated.

Suspected violations can be reported confidentially without fear of retaliation.

Integrity and honesty are essential to the trust we build with our customers and partners.

Health, Safety, and Product Responsibility

We take the health and safety of our employees and end users personally.

Flo maintains strict quality assurance protocols and complies with all relevant safety standards for food contact, cosmetic, and industrial products.

We regularly evaluate process safety and environmental conditions to ensure our workplaces and materials meet or exceed applicable regulations.

Community and Education

Flo Enterprises is committed to advancing knowledge in biobased materials science.

We collaborate with universities, research institutions, and industry partners to develop sustainable innovations in packaging, coatings, adhesives, and composites.

Beyond business, we support educational outreach that encourages the next generation of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to pursue renewable, low-impact technologies.

Our Commitment

From the beginning, Flo has believed that responsibility and innovation go hand in hand.

We remain committed to building products and partnerships that are good for business—and better for the world.
