As a leading florist serving the West Ham community, Flowers West Ham takes its ethical and legal responsibilities seriously. We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement outlines the steps we have taken and continue to take to ensure that slavery and human trafficking do not form any part of our business or supply chains. As a trusted local provider of floral arrangements to households and businesses alike, we understand the importance of upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in everything we do.
Flowers West Ham operates with a zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. These abuses have no place in our business or in any of the practices associated with our suppliers. We regularly review and update our policies to ensure ongoing compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to reflect best practice in the prevention of exploitation within our industry.
We expect all suppliers, contractors, and business partners to share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery. As part of our procurement procedures, we conduct thorough due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. This process includes assessing risk factors, reviewing policies, and where appropriate, seeking confirmation that our suppliers have taken steps to remove any possibility of modern slavery or human trafficking within their organisations or supply chains. Any supplier found to breach our standards or the law will face appropriate action, including the termination of our business relationship.
Ensuring that our staff understands the risks of modern slavery is a key element of our strategy. All Flowers West Ham employees receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. This training highlights the steps to take if they suspect exploitation is taking place within our company or among our suppliers. By fostering an informed and vigilant workforce, we create a stronger safeguard against unethical practices entering our business.
We encourage a culture of openness and transparency. Employees and external parties are encouraged to report any concerns about potential exploitation, unethical behaviour, or modern slavery without fear of reprisal. Multiple reporting channels are available, and concerns can be escalated internally, including direct communication with senior management. Every report is taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and acted upon appropriately.
Flowers West Ham is dedicated to continuous improvement in our practices and takes a proactive approach to reviewing the effectiveness of our modern slavery policy. This statement and our procedures are reviewed annually and updated whenever necessary to ensure we remain vigilant and effective in combating modern slavery and human trafficking. Our commitment is ongoing, reflecting the evolving nature of risks and best practice within our sector.
We recognise that our reputation as a trusted florist in West Ham comes with the responsibility to lead by example. Through transparency, education, and the highest ethical standards, we strive to ensure that our community can trust in both the quality and integrity of our services. Our commitment to eliminating modern slavery is central to the trust placed in us by local households and businesses.
