At Florist Hounslow, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted local business providing floral arrangements to households and companies throughout the area. We are steadfast in our zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. Our commitment extends throughout our operations and supply chains, reflecting our ongoing dedication to ethical business conduct and the well-being of our staff, customers, and the broader community.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery in any form. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the highest standards of integrity and human rights. This policy is communicated clearly in our workplace, and breaches are met with decisive action. Where modern slavery is suspected or identified, it is our policy to act swiftly to ensure protection and support for affected individuals while cooperating fully with relevant authorities.
Florist Hounslow acknowledges that the complexity of global supply chains can present risks. Accordingly, we conduct rigorous due diligence on our suppliers, requiring clear evidence of their compliance with both UK law and international human rights standards. Before establishing any partnership, suppliers are asked to confirm that they do not engage in or support any form of modern slavery, and that they have policies in place to prevent it. Regular reviews and audits are performed, and any suppliers found to be in breach of our standards may face termination of contracts.
We believe that awareness and education are essential to preventing modern slavery. All Florist Hounslow employees, from senior management to frontline staff, receive training on recognising risk factors and understanding the indicators of modern slavery. Training sessions are held annually and whenever there are significant changes to relevant legislation. This proactive approach ensures that all team members are equipped to identify and address concerns in their daily work and interactions with our supply chain partners.
We encourage an open culture in which staff, suppliers, customers, and members of the public feel comfortable raising concerns. Multiple confidential reporting channels are in place for reporting suspected instances of modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reports can be made anonymously, and we ensure that no one faces retaliation for speaking out. Where necessary, matters are escalated to senior management and appropriately investigated.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually as part of our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. Each year, we reassess our policies, procedures, and supply chain practices based on feedback, legal developments, and best practice guidelines. Any identified areas for enhancement are addressed promptly, ensuring we uphold the highest standards of social responsibility throughout our operations.
Florist Hounslow is proud of our role in the local community. We understand that our reputation as a reliable florist depends on more than beautiful arrangements—it relies on the confidence and trust of those we serve. By combating modern slavery in all its forms, we reaffirm our commitment to ethical business practices, setting a positive example for our industry and beyond.
