At Flowers South Wimbledon, we are committed to operating with the highest ethical standards and integrity in all our business dealings. We have a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking, both within our organisation and throughout our supply chains. Our stance forms a critical part of our broader commitment to social responsibility as a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the South Wimbledon community.
We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any point within a supply chain. Therefore, Flowers South Wimbledon conducts robust due diligence on all suppliers before entering into business relationships. This process assesses each supplier's adherence to ethical labour practices, including proper employment conditions, fair pay, and respect for human rights.
Our due diligence includes requesting evidence of suppliers' own modern slavery policies and procedures, reviewing their employment practices, and, where appropriate, seeking written commitments to comply with our standards. We prioritize working with suppliers who are transparent and demonstrate a clear commitment to combating modern slavery in all its forms.
The foundation of our zero tolerance policy is a well-informed and vigilant team. All employees at Flowers South Wimbledon receive training to help them recognise potential indicators of modern slavery or human trafficking, both within our business and our supply chains. Training is integrated into our onboarding process and reinforced through regular updates, ensuring all staff understand their responsibilities and the behaviours that align with our values.
To support early identification and response to any concerns, Flowers South Wimbledon has established confidential channels through which staff, suppliers, or other third parties can report suspected cases of modern slavery or unethical practices. We operate in an environment where speaking up about suspicious behaviour is encouraged and protected, ensuring everyone can raise concerns without fear of reprisal. All reports are treated seriously, investigated thoroughly, and lead to appropriate action where necessary.
We recognise that the fight against modern slavery is ongoing. To that end, Flowers South Wimbledon conducts an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated policies and practices. This review evaluates our effectiveness in managing risks, the impact of our staff training, and the results of our supplier due diligence. Where needed, we update our action plans and set new improvement targets to strengthen our approach year by year.
As a trusted florist in South Wimbledon, we believe our responsibility extends beyond delivering quality flowers. We are dedicated to safeguarding the dignity and rights of every individual linked to our business, whether through employment, procurement, or community engagement. Our Modern Slavery Statement reaffirms this commitment—ensuring our customers can purchase from us with confidence, knowing we uphold strong ethical values at every level of our operations.
