At Flowers Redbridge, we recognize our enduring responsibility to uphold ethical working practices and safeguard human rights. As a longstanding florist serving Redbridge's households and businesses, we are committed to ensuring that our operations and supply chains are free from modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines the measures we take to address modern slavery risks, and our unwavering dedication to maintaining a fair and transparent workplace for all.
Flowers Redbridge operates a strict zero tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. We believe such practices have no place in our own business or the wider supply chain. Our leadership team is fully committed to taking all necessary steps to prevent these unethical activities and supports rigorous implementation of preventative measures across all aspects of our operations.
We source floral products, materials, and services from a variety of reputable suppliers. Before establishing a relationship with any supplier, we conduct thorough due diligence to ensure they share our values and adhere to ethical labour standards. This process includes assessments of their policies, certifications, and workforce practices. Where appropriate, we seek documented assurance that suppliers comply with local and international laws on slavery and human trafficking. Flowers Redbridge maintains ongoing communication with suppliers, and reserves the right to terminate agreements if any risk of modern slavery is identified in their operations.
We understand the importance of equipping our staff with the knowledge and tools to identify and respond to exploitation or unethical behaviour. All employees receive regular training on the principles of modern slavery, signs of exploitation, and the correct channels for reporting concerns. Training materials are reviewed annually to incorporate updates in legal requirements and best practice guidance. Our open-door management approach ensures staff feel empowered to raise questions or concerns without fear of retaliation.
Flowers Redbridge provides secure and accessible channels for reporting concerns related to modern slavery, forced labour, or unethical conduct. All staff, suppliers, and external stakeholders are informed of their rights to report suspicions, and are encouraged to do so. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly by designated senior personnel. Should any incident or suspicion arise, immediate action is taken in line with our safeguarding policies, and remedial steps are deployed to prevent recurrence.
This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to ongoing review and formal evaluation annually. Our policies, procedures, and training initiatives are updated in line with changes in legislation and industry best practice. Flowers Redbridge is committed to continuous improvement, working to raise awareness about modern slavery risks both within our business and throughout the supply chain.
As a trusted Redbridge florist, we believe ethical conduct is the foundation of our reputation and the trust we build with our customers. Our responsible approach to preventing modern slavery reflects our broader commitment to social responsibility and to the well-being of our staff, suppliers, and the local community we proudly serve. By maintaining robust policies and acting with vigilance, we aim to ensure our business is always a force for good in Redbridge and beyond.
