At Flowers Ruislip, we are devoted to upholding the highest standards of integrity, ethics, and respect for human rights throughout all aspects of our floral business. As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in Ruislip, we recognise our responsibility to take active steps in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains.
We strictly enforce a zero tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery, human trafficking, or forced labour. Our commitment to upholding human dignity underpins every decision we make, from sourcing our products to serving our valued customers. We expect our suppliers and partners to share the same unwavering stance against such exploitative practices.
We recognise that the first line of defence against modern slavery is robust supplier management. As part of our ongoing due diligence processes, we assess both new and existing suppliers to ensure that they operate in compliance with all applicable laws relating to modern slavery, human rights, and employment practices. We require our suppliers to confirm that their own supply chains are transparent and free from any form of exploitation or forced labour. Where deemed necessary, we may request evidence of compliance and reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to meet our ethical expectations.
Education is central to our approach. All our staff receive regular training on the risks and indicators associated with modern slavery, alongside detailed guidance on the processes for reporting any concerns. This ensures that everyone at Flowers Ruislip is aware of the signs to look for and is fully equipped to take appropriate action if suspicious activity is identified within our operations or supply chains.
We have established clear internal reporting channels that allow staff to confidentially raise any concerns relating to modern slavery and unethical practices. All reports are taken seriously, treated with utmost confidentiality, and investigated promptly and impartially. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers from retaliation, further reinforcing a culture of openness and vigilance within the business.
Our modern slavery statement and related policies are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and fit for purpose. We continually reflect on our processes and make improvements in response to new risks, legislative changes, or best practices. Regular review enables us to strengthen our safeguards and reaffirm our commitment to ethical practices, both within our business and across our supply chain.
As florists serving the Ruislip community, we recognise the trust placed in us by local residents and businesses. Upholding social responsibility is fundamental to our values. This modern slavery statement reflects not only our legal obligations, but our sincere commitment to contribute positively to our community and uphold the rights and dignity of everyone involved in our business.
