Florist Southfields is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. As a trusted local florist serving Southfields’ homes and businesses, we believe it is our responsibility to lead by example in tackling modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and wider supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to ensure transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery.
We have a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, or exploitation within our business and among our suppliers. Every team member and supplier is expected to share this commitment and uphold fair labour practices. Florist Southfields maintains clear company policies, regularly communicated to staff and stakeholders, which explicitly prohibit any activities or behaviours associated with modern slavery.
We understand the importance of knowing our suppliers and are diligent in assessing the risk of modern slavery throughout our supply chain. Florist Southfields requires all suppliers to demonstrate their compliance with local and national laws regarding employment and human rights. We conduct thorough checks on new suppliers, seeking information on their employment practices before entering into agreements. We also reserve the right to review existing supplier relationships and to take action, including terminating contracts, if concerns relating to modern slavery are substantiated.
Staff awareness is central to effective prevention. Florist Southfields provides regular training to all employees—including management and frontline staff—on how to identify, respond to, and report signs of modern slavery or exploitation. Training sessions cover recognising potential warning signs, the importance of due diligence, and our reporting procedures. By educating our team, we foster a culture of vigilance and responsibility.
Florist Southfields is dedicated to providing safe and accessible channels for raising concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices. Employees and suppliers are informed of the process for confidential reporting and are encouraged to speak up without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly in line with our internal procedures. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and taking swift action where issues are discovered.
This statement and our related policies are reviewed annually to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness. We assess our practices, training needs, and supply chain risks at regular intervals, adapting our approach as necessary to combat the evolving risks of modern slavery. By regularly evaluating our measures, Florist Southfields strives to improve our response and preventative strategies year on year.
We believe that as a florist serving Southfields’ households and businesses, we have a duty to safeguard the integrity of our services and uphold community trust. Our Modern Slavery Statement is part of our wider commitment to ethical business, reflecting the values of respect, transparency, and social responsibility that underpin all of our work.
