Flowers Charlton holds a deep sense of responsibility as a trusted florist serving the Charlton community, local households, and businesses. We are fully committed to helping eradicate modern slavery in all its forms and ensuring every aspect of our operations reflects our core values of integrity, respect, and ethical conduct.
Flowers Charlton operates under a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We are unequivocal in rejecting any practices that involve forced labour, servitude, compulsory labour, or human trafficking, both within our business and throughout our supply chain. We expect the same dedication to ethical practices from all those who work with us, including suppliers and partners.
As part of our commitment, we ensure that our suppliers comply with the legislation related to modern slavery and share our values. We undertake regular due diligence when selecting new suppliers and continually review existing relationships. This includes assessing their labour practices, requesting relevant policy information, and taking appropriate steps to clarify any areas of concern. If we identify any risks or breaches, we reserve the right to withdraw or terminate relationships with suppliers failing to meet our required standards.
Awareness is a key factor in eradicating modern slavery. Flowers Charlton provides all staff with training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding their responsibilities in preventing it. Training is refreshed annually and when legislation or guidance changes. By empowering our employees with this knowledge, we foster a vigilant workplace culture where ethical practices are deeply embedded.
Flowers Charlton encourages all staff, suppliers, and partners to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Channels are in place for reporting any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery, whether in our operations or supply chain. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly, with confidentiality respected. Senior management supports and protects anyone who makes a report in good faith.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our wider approach are reviewed annually to ensure their effectiveness. We evaluate new risks, incorporate feedback, and update our procedures in line with legislation and best practice. Flowers Charlton is committed to continual improvement and transparency in our efforts to combat modern slavery and uphold the highest ethical standards.
Being a florist trusted by local households and businesses in Charlton gives us a privileged role and a clear duty. We recognise that our actions have a direct impact on the wellbeing of the community we serve. Flowers Charlton stands firm in its promise to operate honestly and ethically—not just for the benefit of our customers, but for wider society as well.
