At Flowers Battersea, we recognise our responsibility to ensure the highest ethical standards are maintained throughout our operations and supply chain. As a trusted florist serving the Battersea community – from local households to thriving businesses – we are dedicated to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines the steps we take each year to uphold these commitments.
We adopt a strict zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. Our company does not engage in, enable, or condone any practices that constitute forced labour, servitude, or exploitation, in any aspect of our operations or business relationships. This approach reflects not only our values but also the expectations of the Battersea communities we serve.
Flowers Battersea strives to work exclusively with reputable suppliers who share our commitment to ethical employment. As part of our due diligence process, we assess new and existing suppliers to identify and mitigate any risks related to modern slavery. Suppliers are required to affirm compliance with relevant laws and to uphold fair labour practices. Where concerns arise, we reserve the right to review, suspend, or terminate contracts to protect the wellbeing of all individuals in our supply chain.
We believe education is key to eradicating modern slavery. All members of the Flowers Battersea team receive training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand their responsibilities in upholding our standards. Ongoing learning opportunities ensure our staff remain informed on best practices in ethical sourcing and employment, reinforcing our collective vigilance against exploitation.
We encourage openness and transparency at all levels of our business. If any staff member or supplier suspects a violation relating to modern slavery or unethical practices, they are empowered to report concerns swiftly and confidentially through internal channels. We guarantee that all allegations will be taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and acted upon promptly, without fear of retaliation.
This statement reflects our ongoing commitment but also recognises that continuous improvement is essential. We review our policies and procedures on an annual basis, incorporating feedback and emerging industry best practices. Our goal is to ensure that all aspects of our business remain aligned with our core values and the law. Regular reviews allow us to identify any gaps in our approach and make necessary enhancements for the year ahead.
Maintaining a supply chain free from modern slavery is integral to our reputation as a trusted local florist. Flowers Battersea is committed to providing a safe, ethical, and respectful workplace for our team and partners, and to serving our customers with integrity and care. We are proud to play our part in eradicating modern slavery and setting a positive example for the wider community. This statement will be updated annually to reflect our unwavering dedication to ethical operations.
