At Flowers Kingston upon Thames, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards across all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving the local households and businesses of Kingston upon Thames, we recognise our responsibility to actively prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labour in any form. We maintain a zero tolerance approach to such practices within our own operations and throughout our supply chain.
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. Flowers Kingston upon Thames has a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. All employees, suppliers, and business partners are expected to act professionally, ethically, and compliantly. Any violation is grounds for immediate action, up to and including termination of contract or employment where appropriate.
We acknowledge that our responsibility extends beyond our own workplace into our supply chain. Therefore, we conduct thorough due diligence on all suppliers before partnerships are established and continue ongoing assessments throughout our relationships. We require suppliers to confirm their compliance with all applicable anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking laws. Risk assessments are regularly performed, especially where suppliers operate in higher-risk countries or sectors. Should any concerns arise, we will engage directly and, if necessary, reconsider our relationship.
Our team is provided with comprehensive information and guidance on modern slavery, including how to recognise potential indicators and what actions to take if they have concerns. By raising awareness and providing ongoing training, we empower our staff to remain vigilant and proactive in identifying, preventing, and reporting any suspicious activities or practices that could be related to modern slavery.
We encourage open and honest communication regarding any concerns about modern slavery or unethical conduct. All staff, suppliers, and third parties are encouraged to report any suspicions or observed violations, confident that such reports will be treated seriously and confidentially. We have clear channels for reporting, and all concerns are investigated promptly and thoroughly. Retaliation against anyone raising concerns in good faith is not tolerated.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its relevance, effectiveness, and alignment with evolving laws and best practices. Where necessary, our procedures and controls are updated to strengthen our approach. We are committed to continual improvement and to working collaboratively with employees, suppliers, and the wider Kingston upon Thames community to combat modern slavery in all its forms.
Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects not only our legal obligations but also our core values as a trusted Kingston upon Thames florist. We are dedicated to providing flowers and services to local homes and businesses with integrity, respect, and an unwavering commitment to ethical standards.
