At Flowers Hounslow, we take a steadfast stand against all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within any part of our operations or supply chains. Our policy is one of zero tolerance. We are committed to promoting human rights and the highest ethical standards, not only within our own workplace but also throughout our network of suppliers and business partners.
Our supply chain is integral to the quality and integrity of our services as a trusted florist in Hounslow. We rigorously assess new and existing suppliers to ensure compliance with our anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking standards. This process involves a thorough evaluation of supplier credentials, contract requirements committing to ethical employment practices, and, where appropriate, requests for information on their own modern slavery prevention measures. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier found to be complicit in practices of modern slavery.
Education is vital in detecting and preventing modern slavery. All Flowers Hounslow employees receive training to raise awareness about the risks of modern slavery, how to identify potential warning signs, and the appropriate steps to take if concerns arise. This training is refreshed annually, ensuring that our staff remain vigilant and informed. Clear guidance on ethical recruitment and transparent employment terms is provided to every team member.
Creating an open and supportive environment is at the centre of our approach. All staff and stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery in confidence. Multiple reporting channels are available, including confidential discussions with dedicated personnel, without fear of retaliation. Any reports received are investigated promptly and thoroughly, and we take decisive action where necessary, in accordance with legal and ethical obligations.
Our commitment to combatting modern slavery is ongoing. This statement, our due diligence procedures, and associated policies are reviewed annually to assess effectiveness and ensure they evolve in line with legislation, best practice, and the experiences of our business. Any identified improvements are implemented promptly, and the statement is updated as required to reflect our current approach and standards.
Flowers Hounslow understands the importance of maintaining trust and accountability as a florist serving households and businesses throughout the Hounslow community. By upholding these standards, we contribute to a fair and transparent supply chain, demonstrating our commitment not only to our customers and colleagues but to the wider society as well. We see the fight against modern slavery as a reflection of our broader responsibility as a trusted local business, and we thank our staff, suppliers, and clients for supporting these values with us.
