Flowers Kensington is unwavering in its pledge to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business operations and supply chains. As a trusted florist serving the Kensington community’s households and businesses, we recognise our wider responsibility to champion ethical practices, respect human rights, and act with integrity. This statement outlines our policies and ongoing actions to address and prevent forced labour, servitude, and trafficking within our sphere of influence.
We firmly uphold a zero tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. Any evidence or suspicion of forced labour, child labour, exploitation, or human trafficking in connection with our business is treated with utmost seriousness and will result in rigorous action, which may include terminating supplier relationships and reporting concerns to the relevant authorities. All our team members and suppliers are made aware of this commitment as an essential standard for engagement with Flowers Kensington.
We source our flowers, sundries, and ancillary products from reputable suppliers who share our ethical vision. As part of our supplier onboarding and review process, we assess the risk of modern slavery entering our supply chain by seeking assurances and, where possible, documentation outlining their compliance with applicable anti-slavery laws. On an ongoing basis, we engage with our suppliers to review working conditions, employment practices, and traceability of their sourcing, ensuring these align with legislation and our values. Should we identify any risks or infringements, we act decisively to address them in collaboration with the supplier or, if necessary, to end supplier agreements.
We provide all Flowers Kensington staff with information and training to recognise indicators of modern slavery and to understand what steps to take if concerns arise. This empowers our team to be vigilant not just within our own workplace, but throughout our extended supply chain relationships. We ensure regular training updates and make resources available for staff to consult at any time. By fostering this culture of awareness and responsibility, we reinforce our commitment to a slavery-free environment.
We promote a safe environment where staff and suppliers feel confident to raise concerns without fear of reprisal. Clear, confidential reporting pathways are provided so any suspected or witnessed instances of modern slavery can be communicated securely. We take all such reports seriously, investigate them thoroughly, and take appropriate and prompt action following our procedures.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains robust, current, and effective. We monitor regulatory developments, update our practices to reflect new guidance and best practices, and assess the impact of our measures. Our review process includes input from staff, suppliers, and stakeholders, demonstrating our commitment to transparency and continuous improvement.
Flowers Kensington’s anti-slavery practices reflect not only our legal obligations but our responsibility as a local florist relied upon by Kensington households and businesses. Our customers trust us to uphold respect, fairness, and integrity throughout our operations, values which underpin our measures against modern slavery. We continually strive to lead by example and work collaboratively with our partners to promote ethical practices in our industry.
