As a longstanding and trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Twickenham, Florist Twickenham is strongly committed to safeguarding the rights and dignity of all individuals involved in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to take a proactive stance against all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation. Our commitment is not only a matter of legal compliance, but a vital aspect of the ethical standards that underpin our role in the local community.
Florist Twickenham enforces a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in every aspect of our business. This policy covers all practices, including recruitment, employment, supply chain management, and service delivery. We stand firmly against slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking, and do not condone these practices in any form throughout the organisation or among our suppliers.
Given the nature of our industry, we work closely with suppliers of flowers, packaging, and associated services. To uphold our standards, we carry out comprehensive risk assessments and due diligence processes when initiating and maintaining supplier relationships. Our suppliers are required to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws as a key condition of doing business with us. Florist Twickenham reviews supplier practices regularly and may audit or request documentation to ensure that workers are employed and treated in accordance with applicable laws and ethical guidelines.
We understand that awareness is crucial in preventing modern slavery. All staff, including management, are provided with training to increase their understanding of what constitutes modern slavery and how to identify potential risks in our business and supply chains. This training is designed to empower our team to spot warning signs and understand the steps to take should they have concerns.
Florist Twickenham encourages all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery without fear of reprisal. We provide confidential reporting channels so that concerns can be raised and investigated swiftly and appropriately. Management takes all reports seriously, ensuring that any indication of modern slavery is thoroughly examined and promptly addressed. We are resolute in protecting anyone who raises concerns against victimisation or retaliation.
Each year, Florist Twickenham reviews the effectiveness of our modern slavery protocols and updates our risk assessments, supplier standards, and training programs. We monitor legislative developments and emerging best practices to ensure that our stance against modern slavery remains current and robust. Feedback from staff, customers, and suppliers feeds into our annual review, enabling us to make continual improvements to our approach.
As a prominent Twickenham florist, we take seriously the trust placed in us by our community. Delivering exceptional flowers is just one part of our mission – supporting and safeguarding the rights of everyone in our business and supply chains is equally important. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility and commitment to ethical trading, transparency, and the fight against modern slavery in all its forms.
