Flowers Lambeth is committed to ensuring that modern slavery, in all its forms, has no place within our business or supply chains. As a trusted florist serving the local households and businesses of Lambeth, we recognize our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach to identifying and addressing the risk of slavery and human trafficking within our operations and from our suppliers, reflecting our core values of integrity, social responsibility, and community leadership.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy is central to Flowers Lambeth’s ethos. We do not tolerate any form of forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or human trafficking in any aspect of our business. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any evidence of involvement in modern slavery or associated practices results in immediate review and, where necessary, termination of relationship or contract.
As a supplier of fresh flowers and associated goods, we source products responsibly and vet our supply chain for risks of modern slavery. Our supplier selection process includes thorough due diligence checks, whereby prospective and current suppliers must demonstrate compliance with all relevant laws and our ethical procurement standards. We assess factors including working conditions, fair pay, and freedom of movement for workers. Additionally, we reserve the right to request documentation or audits to verify compliance, and we work only with suppliers who share our zero tolerance stance and commitment to human rights.
Staff at all levels, from management to frontline florists and delivery personnel, receive training on recognizing signs of modern slavery and understanding their obligations under our policies. This training is reviewed and updated annually to ensure that it reflects current best practices and legal requirements. We encourage team members to remain vigilant and empowered to speak up if they identify risks or concerns, fostering a supportive culture of awareness and action.
We are committed to transparency and open communication regarding modern slavery risks. Any employee, supplier, or member of the public who becomes aware of potential cases of slavery or human trafficking within our business or supply chain is encouraged to raise their concerns through our formal reporting channels. All reports are treated with the strictest confidentiality and are promptly investigated by senior management. Retaliation against individuals who report concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited and would result in disciplinary action.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to reflect our ongoing commitment to eradicating modern slavery and to respond to changing regulations, risks, and industry knowledge. Feedback from staff, customers, and the wider community is welcomed, as we continually strive to strengthen our policies and practices.
As a long-standing florist in Lambeth, we are mindful of our influence within the local community. We believe our proactive approach to preventing modern slavery not only reflects our ethical values, but also the trust placed in us by local households and businesses. Flowers Lambeth is dedicated to leading by example and contributing to a fairer, safer society for everyone.
