At Flowers Acton, we are unwavering in our commitment to the highest ethical standards and integrity in all areas of our business. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Acton, we recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to ensure that modern slavery, in all its forms, is eradicated from our operations and supply chains.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, child labour, and all forms of forced or compulsory labour. Flowers Acton is fully opposed to any practices that exploit individuals and is committed to taking all necessary steps to prevent any such activity within our business or our suppliers’ operations.
We understand the complexity of global supply chains, especially in the floral industry. Flowers Acton conducts due diligence processes to minimise the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain. This includes assessing the ethical track record of all suppliers, requesting information on their employment practices, and requiring compliance with our ethical standards as a condition of doing business.
Where appropriate, we request evidence of our suppliers’ own modern slavery policies and undertake risk assessments for any new suppliers, particularly those in countries or industries deemed high-risk. Suppliers found to be in breach of our standards will be required to take immediate remedial action or face termination of our business relationship.
Our team is central to our commitment to combating modern slavery. All staff receive information and training designed to raise awareness of modern slavery and enable the identification of risk factors within our business and supply chain. Our staff are encouraged to remain vigilant and to report any suspicions regarding unethical practices, both within our organisation and among our suppliers.
Flowers Acton maintains an open and supportive culture for reporting concerns about modern slavery. We have established clear internal reporting channels, enabling employees to raise concerns in confidence and without fear of reprisal. All reported issues are investigated thoroughly, and appropriate action is taken in line with our values and legal obligations.
We also encourage our customers, stakeholders, and members of the public to contact us if they have any concerns about our practices or suppliers. Transparency and accountability are cornerstones of our approach, and we continually strive to improve our procedures based on feedback and best practices.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. We monitor evolving legislation, industry guidance, and supplier performance so we can strengthen our processes and remain at the forefront of ethical business practices. Our action plan is updated each year as part of our commitment to continuous improvement.
By adopting and publicising this Modern Slavery Statement, Flowers Acton underscores our position as a trusted florist in Acton that champions fair treatment, respects human rights, and values the wellbeing of all people involved in bringing our flowers to the homes and businesses we serve. We believe our community deserves nothing less.
