As a valued and trusted florist in Blackheath, Flowers Blackheath is dedicated to the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in our business practices. Modern slavery, which includes slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking, is a global issue that we are committed to combating. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach and ongoing efforts to prevent modern slavery within our operations and supply chain, reflecting our responsibilities to the local community of households and businesses we proudly serve.
Flowers Blackheath operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We are unwavering in our commitment to ensuring that these practices have no place in our business or our supply chains. Our ethos is rooted in treating everyone with dignity and respect, and we expect nothing less from our staff, suppliers, and business partners. Any breach of our anti-slavery standards is regarded as a serious offence and could lead to immediate cessation of business relationships or internal disciplinary action.
We recognise the importance of working with suppliers and partners who share our ethical values. To underpin our zero tolerance commitment, we have implemented robust supplier due diligence procedures. All prospective suppliers are subject to a review process in which we assess their approach and safeguards regarding labour practices. Whenever possible, we engage with suppliers who are transparent about their operations and can demonstrate their compliance with anti-slavery laws and standards. We regularly review our supply chain to ensure it remains free from modern slavery and expect our suppliers to do the same with their own partners.
Our team is at the forefront of recognising and reporting potential instances of modern slavery. Staff at Flowers Blackheath receive training and guidance to help them identify signs of exploitation both within our business and throughout our supply chain. Training is provided during induction and refreshed periodically, ensuring that our team is always equipped with the knowledge and resources necessary to act responsibly and in line with our policies.
We encourage all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to speak up if they have concerns regarding modern slavery within our operations or supply network. We maintain open and discreet reporting channels where concerns can be raised without fear of reprisal. All concerns are taken seriously and fully investigated as appropriate. We are committed to promoting a culture of transparency and accountability at every level of our business.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current and effective. We use feedback from staff, audit results, and developments in legal requirements to inform updates and improvements. As modern slavery risks evolve, so too will our policies and practices, ensuring the continued integrity of Flowers Blackheath as a reliable and ethical florist serving our local Blackheath community.
As a trusted Blackheath florist, our commitment to combatting modern slavery is a reflection of our broader responsibility to the people and businesses who place their trust in us every day. By upholding these high ethical standards, we aim to contribute positively to our community and act as a role model for responsible business conduct in the area.
