Flowers South Kensington is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our business. As a prominent florist serving the households and businesses of South Kensington, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our commitment, actions, and policies to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or those whom we work with.
We have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and all forms of human trafficking. These practices are fundamentally at odds with our values and our duty to our customers and the wider community. We are fully committed to acting with integrity and transparency, both internally and when working with external partners. Any evidence of modern slavery in our supply chain or business operations will prompt immediate and decisive action.
Our business relies on a network of suppliers and growers for flowers and related goods. We understand that the risks of modern slavery can extend through global supply chains, and we are committed to minimising these risks. As part of our supplier due diligence process, we:
Our employees are fundamental to upholding our ethical standards. We provide staff with regular training to raise awareness about modern slavery, its warning signs, and the steps to take if they suspect an issue. Training sessions ensure that our team is equipped to identify possible indicators of modern slavery, both within our premises and throughout our supply chain. All staff members are made aware of this statement and their role in maintaining vigilance.
We encourage an open and supportive culture so that employees, suppliers, and external stakeholders feel comfortable raising concerns about modern slavery, human trafficking, or any unethical practices. Concerns can be reported directly to management or via designated reporting channels within our business, ensuring confidentiality and non-retaliation. Reports are treated seriously, thoroughly investigated, and followed up with appropriate action. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring they do not suffer any adverse consequences for coming forward in good faith.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness. We assess our procedures, supplier relationships, and employee practices to reflect advancements in best practice, legal requirements, and any changes in our business structure or supply chain. New insights, feedback, and evolving risks all inform our annual review process as we strive for continuous improvement.
As a trusted South Kensington florist, we serve families, businesses, and institutions in our local area. We believe that our commitment to eradicating modern slavery forms part of our broader responsibility to our community. Our customers expect the highest standards from us—not only in the flowers we supply, but in the way we do business. Upholding these ethical standards is central to maintaining their trust and to our reputation as a responsible local business.
