At Flowers Gerrards Cross, we stand firmly against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. As a longstanding florist serving the homes and businesses of Gerrards Cross, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that our business practices, and those of our suppliers, uphold the highest ethical standards. We are committed to acting with integrity, transparency, and accountability in all our operations, maintaining a zero tolerance policy for any instance of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation within our supply chains and business activities.
To uphold our ethical commitment, we carefully vet all our suppliers of flowers, plants, and floristry materials. Our due diligence process includes risk assessments focusing on countries of origin, nature of work, and the history of suppliers. We make it clear to all suppliers that we expect strict compliance with our standards and legal obligations regarding human rights and fair employment practices. Where potential risks are identified, we engage closely with suppliers to provide guidance and require corrective actions where necessary. Any supplier failing to meet our standards will have their relationship with Flowers Gerrards Cross reviewed and, if necessary, terminated.
Our team is integral to our approach to tackling modern slavery. All staff members receive training to understand what constitutes modern slavery and how to recognise warning signs. This education empowers them to uphold our standards and to take action if they have concerns about unethical practices. We are committed to fostering a culture in which everyone understands their role in supporting our values and the importance of vigilance throughout our daily operations.
We encourage openness in reporting concerns related to modern slavery. Staff, suppliers, and customers are assured that they can report suspicions or evidence of unethical practices in confidence. All reports are treated seriously, with every concern investigated thoroughly and resolved with appropriate action. Through clear reporting channels, we aim to detect risks early and demonstration that transparency and responsibility are part of the way we do business.
Our fight against modern slavery is constantly evolving as new risks and challenges emerge. We review our modern slavery policy annually to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and our wider community is welcomed and helps to guide our approach. Through this regular review, we remain ready to adapt our procedures, strengthen our due diligence, and reinforce our commitment to ethical conduct throughout the year.
As a trusted florist proudly serving Gerrards Cross households and local businesses, we view it as our duty to set an example for ethical practices in the floristry industry. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our dedication not only to compliance with relevant legislation but also to upholding the trust placed in us by our customers and the local community. We will continue to champion transparency and fairness, ensuring that every flower purchased from us is sourced and delivered with respect for the dignity and rights of all people involved.
