At Flowers West Green, we are fully committed to combating modern slavery, human trafficking, and all forms of forced labour. As a respected florist in the West Green community, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that our business activities, supply chains, and operations are free from unethical labour practices. This statement outlines the steps we take to address these important issues and reflects our dedication to acting ethically in everything we do.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy against modern slavery and human trafficking. This position extends to all aspects of our business and our supply chains. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers, partners, and contractors, and we do not tolerate any breaches or neglect in identifying and tackling risks related to modern slavery.
Our procurement process includes comprehensive due diligence checks on suppliers and service providers. Before entering into any agreements, we assess each supplier’s policies and working practices relating to employment and human rights. Where appropriate, we request evidence of compliance with relevant anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation. Periodic reviews and spot checks are conducted to ensure ongoing adherence to our ethical standards, and suppliers who fail to meet our expectations will not be engaged or will have their contracts terminated.
The staff at Flowers West Green receive regular training to identify potential indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. Training covers the risks within our sector, reporting procedures, and categorising suspicious activities. Our aim is to empower all team members with the knowledge and confidence to act swiftly and appropriately should any concerns arise. We also provide updated resources and refresher sessions to keep our staff informed and vigilant.
We maintain clear, confidential channels for reporting suspected instances of modern slavery or unethical conduct. All employees, suppliers, and third parties are encouraged to report any concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports are promptly investigated, and appropriate action is taken where required. This open reporting culture is critical to upholding our values and preventing any form of exploitation within or connected to our business.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure that our policies and practices remain robust, effective, and current with evolving risks and best practices. We evaluate our supply chain relationships, training programmes, and reporting mechanisms each year, making improvements where necessary to strengthen our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.
As a trusted florist serving West Green households and businesses, we are committed to being a responsible and ethical employer and partner. Our proactive stance against modern slavery is central to maintaining the trust of our customers and the broader community. We pledge to lead by example and to contribute positively to our industry by challenging unethical practices and fostering transparency at all levels.
