At Kingston upon Thames Florist, we uphold the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all we do. We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. These abhorrent practices have no place in our business or our supply chain. Our commitment addresses not only legal compliance, but also our moral duty as a trusted florist, dedicated to serving the households and businesses of Kingston upon Thames responsibly.
We recognise that the floristry sector can be vulnerable to exploitation, especially in global supply chains involving growers, importers, and wholesalers. To counteract this risk, Kingston upon Thames Florist conducts thorough due diligence before forging relationships with new suppliers. We assess suppliers’ policies, practices, and reputation concerning their workforce and sourcing operations.
All suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and demonstrate ethical, fair, and legal labour practices across all aspects of their services. Any supplier failing to meet these expectations is removed from our approved supplier list.
We believe that well-informed staff are fundamental to identifying and preventing slavery and human trafficking risks. As part of our commitment, all employees receive training to recognise the potential indicators of modern slavery and understand our corporate policies. Continuous learning and awareness sessions ensure that our team members remain vigilant and empowered to act responsibly should concerns arise.
Kingston upon Thames Florist is committed to an open and supportive culture in which concerns about modern slavery can be raised without fear of retaliation. Staff and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery or human trafficking directly to management through clear, confidential reporting channels. We respond to all reports promptly and take immediate action to investigate and, where required, work with the relevant authorities to address concerns.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed and updated annually to ensure its effectiveness and alignment with best practices. We reflect on feedback collected throughout the year and legislative or industry developments, making necessary adjustments to our procedures, supplier checks, and training content. Our annual review reaffirms our pledge to keep modern slavery out of our supply chain and continually improve our safeguards.
As a long-standing florist in Kingston upon Thames, we value the trust and loyalty of our local customers – both households and businesses. We believe that serving our community means upholding not just floristry excellence but also ethical responsibility. This Modern Slavery Statement articulates our determination to operate in a way that is honest, accountable, and deserving of that trust.
This Statement is made in accordance with Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and reflects our ongoing efforts to combat slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
