Flowers Nine Elms is fully committed to supporting the eradication of modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. As a trusted independent florist, we recognise the responsibility we have to uphold ethical standards within our operations and across our supply chain. We serve local households and businesses in Nine Elms, and take pride in maintaining the high level of trust placed in us by our community.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, or child labour, both within our own business and in any part of our supply chain. Flowers Nine Elms expects the same high standards from all of our suppliers and partners, ensuring that all those involved with us work freely, are treated with dignity, and are paid fairly. We do not knowingly engage with any organisation that is involved in these practices and require compliance with all applicable laws regarding slavery and human trafficking.
Before establishing any new supplier relationship, Flowers Nine Elms undertakes thorough due diligence to ensure partners do not tolerate or participate in any modern slavery or human trafficking activities. We request information on their business practices and any steps they have taken to eradicate forced labour, and periodically review supplier adherence to our values. Regular assessments include reviewing employment records, sourcing practices, and the working conditions within supplier operations. Any concerns identified during these checks are promptly investigated and addressed.
We provide our team with training aimed at raising awareness of modern slavery, equipping them with the knowledge to identify risk factors and understand their responsibilities. This includes guidance on the signs of exploitation, what actions to take if concerns arise, and how to report suspicions confidentially. By fostering a culture of vigilance and responsibility among our staff, we help ensure that modern slavery has no place in any aspect of our business.
Flowers Nine Elms encourages all staff, suppliers, and stakeholders to report concerns if they suspect potential cases of modern slavery or human trafficking. Reports may be made confidentially. We take each report seriously, responding swiftly with a thorough investigation, and taking appropriate action where necessary. Our robust reporting mechanism ensures that anyone can raise their concerns without fear of reprisal and with full assurance of our support.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by Flowers Nine Elms senior management. During the review process, we evaluate the effectiveness of our procedures and update our policies and practices as needed to reflect improvements and insights gained over the year. This allows us to continually enhance our approach and remain vigilant in the prevention of modern slavery not just within our own business, but also across our partnerships.
As a leading florist in Nine Elms, we understand that our business decisions reflect upon the trust placed in us by the local community. By maintaining rigorous ethical standards and a proactive approach, we strive to be part of a broader effort in creating a fairer, safer society. Flowers Nine Elms is dedicated to conducting business in a way that respects human rights, upholds dignity, and protects all those who contribute to our success.
