At Florist Surrey, we are fully committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in every aspect of our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Surrey, we recognise our responsibility to prevent any form of modern slavery or human trafficking from occurring within our business and our supply chains. This statement outlines the measures we take every year to ensure we deliver our services in an ethical and transparent way.
Florist Surrey maintains a strict zero tolerance policy against modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate, permit, or condone any form of forced labour, bonded labour, involuntary servitude, or exploitation in our business or in any part of our supply chains. This policy is communicated clearly to all employees, suppliers, and business partners.
We recognise that our supply chain plays a vital role in ensuring ethical practices. Florist Surrey conducts careful due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This includes assessing supplier policies, requesting information on workforce practices, and prioritising suppliers who can demonstrate their own commitments to combating modern slavery. Wherever feasible, we seek to work with local, reputable suppliers who share our values. We review these relationships on an ongoing basis to ensure ongoing compliance.
Awareness is key to identifying and preventing modern slavery. All members of our team receive training to help them recognise situations where vulnerable individuals might be at risk of exploitation, whether in our own workplace or in the wider supply chain. We provide ongoing guidance and resources so our staff remain vigilant and informed about the risks and signs of modern slavery, as well as the appropriate actions to take if concerns arise.
Florist Surrey encourages anyone – staff, suppliers, or members of the public – to voice concerns or suspicions relating to modern slavery or unethical practices associated with our operations. We have clear and confidential reporting channels in place, ensuring that disclosures are taken seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated thoroughly. We are committed to a culture of openness and will not tolerate any form of retaliation against those who raise genuine concerns in good faith.
To ensure ongoing effectiveness, we review our modern slavery prevention measures annually. This includes assessing our policies, supplier relationships, staff training, and reporting mechanisms. Where required, we will strengthen our processes to respond to emerging risks and best practices in tackling modern slavery. Our commitment is to continuous improvement, ensuring Florist Surrey remains a safe and ethical business for all.
As a well-established florist, Florist Surrey recognises the significance of trust placed in us by our local customers—both households and businesses. This Modern Slavery Statement is not just a legal or commercial obligation; it is a reflection of our core values. We are dedicated to upholding the rights and freedoms of all people connected to our operations, affirming our role as an ethical and responsible business within the Surrey community.
