At Flowers East Sheen, we are firmly committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within all parts of our business and supply chains. As a trusted florist serving the East Sheen community—households and businesses alike—we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards. We take a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking and expect the same from all those we work with, including suppliers and business partners.
We understand that our supply chain plays a crucial role in our ability to ensure ethical practices. Before entering into partnerships with suppliers, we conduct thorough due diligence to assess their policies, practices, and compliance with anti-slavery legislation. This includes requesting documentation on their employment practices, seeking confirmation that they operate in accordance with relevant laws, and requiring declarations that they do not tolerate any form of modern slavery. Regular audits and checks are performed to monitor ongoing compliance, and we work proactively with our suppliers to improve standards wherever necessary.
We believe that all employees should be equipped to identify and address issues related to modern slavery. To this end, Flowers East Sheen provides dedicated training for staff, focusing on recognising the signs of exploitation or forced labour and understanding the correct procedures for raising concerns. Our training is refreshed regularly to ensure all employees are up to date with evolving legislation and best practices, reinforcing our commitment as a responsible local employer and service provider.
We have established internal reporting channels to encourage the prompt and confidential reporting of any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery. All employees are instructed in how to use these channels, which enables them to raise issues without fear of retaliation. Our management team takes every report seriously, investigates thoroughly, and implements action plans where necessary. We are committed to full cooperation with relevant authorities in all matters pertaining to potential breaches of anti-slavery regulations.
This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to an annual review to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. Each year, we assess our policies, supplier relationships, staff training programmes, and reporting mechanisms. Feedback from our employees and partners is valued, helping us refine our approach and remain vigilant against new or emerging risks related to modern slavery. We are dedicated to continuous improvement and transparency, reflecting our role as a responsible member of the East Sheen business community.
Flowers East Sheen is proud to serve the households and businesses of East Sheen. We understand that our customers place their trust in us, not only for the quality of our products but also for our integrity and ethical standards. By maintaining and regularly reviewing this statement and the measures it describes, we aim to demonstrate our commitment to building a safe, respectful, and ethically responsible local business.
