At Flowers Gants Hill, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in all areas of our business. As a trusted florist serving Gants Hill’s households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines the actions we take to demonstrate our zero-tolerance approach and our ongoing commitment to ethical trading.
Flowers Gants Hill enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept or condone any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation, either within our business or among our suppliers. Our expectations are communicated clearly to all employees, contractors, and business partners to ensure compliance with the law and our own rigorous ethical standards.
We recognise that our supply chain is integral to our business and our reputation as a florist in the Gants Hill community. To ensure compliance, we conduct thorough due diligence checks with all existing and prospective suppliers. This includes seeking assurances that fair labour practices are in place and requiring suppliers to confirm that they do not engage in, or facilitate, any form of modern slavery. Our supplier onboarding process involves the evaluation of their employment policies, worker conditions, and traceability of goods, with ongoing monitoring to maintain these standards.
An essential part of our anti-slavery initiatives involves equipping our staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify and address potential risks. We deliver periodic training sessions to all team members, ensuring everyone understands what modern slavery is, how to spot warning signs, and the steps to take if concerns arise. This empowers our staff to play a proactive role in maintaining the integrity and values of Flowers Gants Hill.
We maintain open and confidential reporting channels for all staff, suppliers, and stakeholders. Anyone with concerns related to modern slavery—whether within our business or linked to our supply chain—is encouraged to raise such issues immediately. All reports are treated with the utmost seriousness, handled sensitively, and investigated thoroughly. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers from any form of retaliation.
We regularly review the effectiveness of our policies, procedures, and due diligence processes on an annual basis or in response to emerging risks and legal developments. This statement is updated accordingly to ensure that our approach remains robust, practical, and relevant. We also seek opportunities for continuous improvement, actively engaging with our suppliers, staff, and industry partners to strengthen our collective efforts against modern slavery.
As a longstanding florist in Gants Hill, serving local households and businesses, we acknowledge the trust our community places in us. We consider it our duty not only to provide beautiful floral arrangements, but also to conduct our business with integrity, transparency, and a strong sense of social responsibility. Our Modern Slavery Statement forms a cornerstone of this commitment, ensuring Flowers Gants Hill remains a responsible and ethical member of the local business community.
