As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Uxbridge, Flowers Uxbridge recognises our responsibility to uphold ethical standards and promote human rights in our operations and supply chains. We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in any aspect of our business and the services we deliver to our community. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to identify, address, and mitigate modern slavery risks annually.
Flowers Uxbridge maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any form of exploitation in our business practices or in those of our suppliers and partners. This policy is embedded in our company values and guides each decision we make, reaffirming our dedication to ethical trading and the well-being of all individuals associated with our business activities.
We understand that our responsibility extends beyond our direct employees to include our suppliers and contractors. Flowers Uxbridge conducts supplier due diligence by assessing the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains. We actively engage with our suppliers, requiring them to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery laws and our ethical standards. Where appropriate, we seek evidence through questionnaires, declarations, and contractual obligations. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who are found to be in breach of our anti-slavery principles.
Our staff are at the heart of our business, and their awareness is crucial in the identification and prevention of modern slavery. Flowers Uxbridge provides training to all team members on the risks, signs, and reporting procedures associated with modern slavery and human trafficking. We ensure that our staff know how to act if they suspect any instance of forced or illegal labour, whether within our premises or related to our suppliers.
We are committed to creating a culture of openness, where concerns about modern slavery can be raised without fear of retaliation. Flowers Uxbridge has established clear and confidential reporting mechanisms for staff, suppliers, and customers to report any suspected cases of modern slavery. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and appropriate actions are taken in alignment with our policies and the law. We encourage the use of these channels as part of our broader commitment to transparency and social responsibility.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance. We assess our policies, training programmes, and supply chain procedures on a yearly basis, making improvements where needed. By reviewing and updating our actions regularly, we aim to continuously strengthen our ability to prevent and address all forms of modern slavery within our influence.
Being a renowned florist in Uxbridge comes with the duty to act ethically and set an example in our community. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our commitment to protect the people involved in every step of our operations, from sourcing to bouquet delivery. We will continue to work with dedication to ensure that our business contributes positively to society, upholding the trust placed in us by local households and businesses.
