At Florists Uxbridge, we have a clear and uncompromising zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity, recognising that we carry a special responsibility as a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in Uxbridge and the surrounding areas. We make it our priority to prevent any occurrence of modern slavery in our operations and throughout our supply chains for flowers, gifts, and all other goods and services.
We understand that our responsibility extends beyond our immediate team to everyone involved in delivering products and services to our customers. As such, we have implemented rigorous supplier due diligence processes. All new and existing suppliers are carefully vetted to ensure that they adhere to UK legislation regarding human rights, working conditions, and employment. Our supplier selection process includes assessing their commitment to preventing slavery and trafficking, as well as their internal policies and procedures. If we discover evidence of non-compliance, we act swiftly to investigate and take the appropriate steps, up to and including terminating the business relationship.
Our team is central to our commitment to tackle modern slavery. Florists Uxbridge invests in regular staff training to educate employees about recognising the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as equipping them with the tools to respond effectively. Our training programmes are updated to reflect changes in legislation and best practice, helping every member of our staff understand both their personal and collective responsibilities in preventing exploitation.
Encouraging openness and transparency is vital to identifying and eradicating modern slavery. We maintain clear and accessible reporting channels for all staff members and encourage the reporting of any concerns related to potential slavery, trafficking, or unethical practices. All reports are handled with confidentiality, and we support those who raise concerns in good faith under our whistleblowing procedures. Investigations are conducted promptly and thoroughly, ensuring that any breach of our values is addressed without delay.
Modern slavery and human trafficking is a continually evolving risk, demanding constant vigilance and adaptation. Florists Uxbridge conducts an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our internal policies to assess their effectiveness and identify areas for enhancement. Lessons learned are shared across the business, and improvements are acted on swiftly to reinforce our commitment.
Our dedication to fighting modern slavery underpins everything we do as a florist deeply rooted in the Uxbridge community. We believe that serving local households and businesses means more than just delivering beautiful flowers; it’s about upholding the highest ethical standards, protecting the wellbeing of everyone in our supply chain, and supporting a safe and fair environment for all. This statement represents our ongoing pledge to those values and to continual progress in the fight against modern slavery.
