At Flowers Brentwood, we recognise the importance of addressing and preventing the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and throughout our supply chains. As a trusted Brentwood florist serving local households and businesses, we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to ensure compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to uphold the highest standards of responsibility in our practices.
Flowers Brentwood maintains a strict zero tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. We are unequivocally committed to ensuring that slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business operations or our supply chains. Any instance or suspicion of such practices is treated with the utmost seriousness and will lead to the immediate review of the relationship with the relevant party.
We understand that the fight against modern slavery must extend beyond our immediate workplace. To that end, we have rigorous procedures for vetting and managing our suppliers and service providers. We expect all our suppliers to adhere to our values and to comply with similarly robust anti-slavery and anti-trafficking policies. Our supplier selection process includes:
We believe that education is central to maintaining an ethical and vigilant workplace. All staff at Flowers Brentwood, from shop floor to management, receive training to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking. Training covers:
New employees receive this training as part of their induction, with regular refresher sessions to ensure knowledge remains current and applicable.
We have established clear and confidential reporting mechanisms to encourage staff and associates to raise any concerns related to modern slavery. These channels are readily available to all team members without fear of victimisation or reprisal. Any reported concern will be investigated thoroughly and, where appropriate, action will be taken promptly in accordance with our policies and legal requirements.
We regularly review our Modern Slavery Statement, policies, and related procedures to ensure continued effectiveness and compliance. This statement is reviewed and updated at least once every twelve months, applying lessons learned and reflecting regulatory changes or best practice updates. By continuously evaluating and enhancing our approach, Flowers Brentwood strives to uphold its ongoing commitment to ethical conduct.
As a locally respected florist, we recognise that our reputation is built upon trust, ethics, and the well-being of our customers, colleagues, and communities. Preventing modern slavery is not only a legal responsibility but a reflection of our core values. Flowers Brentwood will continue to champion these principles as part of our ongoing support for local households and businesses.
