At Flowers Guildford, we recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and contribute actively to the eradication of modern slavery in all its forms. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Guildford, we are committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards throughout our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement explains the measures we put in place to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking, reflecting our dedication to ethical business practices.
Flowers Guildford maintains a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. We explicitly prohibit any form of modern slavery within our operations and expect the same standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. We will take immediate and decisive action against any breach of this policy, including terminating agreements with non-compliant suppliers.
Our commitment to ethical sourcing is supported by robust supplier due diligence. We assess new and existing suppliers to ensure they operate in accordance with laws and ethical standards, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Our supplier evaluation process includes:
We recognise that raising awareness among our team is crucial in the fight against modern slavery. All Flowers Guildford staff, from florists to management, receive training on recognising signs of modern slavery and on our internal reporting procedures. This training is periodically reviewed and updated to reflect current best practices.
We promote a culture in which every staff member feels responsible for upholding our ethical standards and understands the role they play in preventing modern slavery within our operations and broader supply chain.
We encourage all staff, suppliers, and stakeholders to report any potential or actual breaches of our anti-slavery policy. Flowers Guildford provides secure internal channels for confidential reporting of concerns relating to modern slavery or human trafficking. All reports are taken seriously, treated confidentially, and investigated promptly. We are committed to supporting whistleblowers and strictly prohibits retaliation in any form.
Our Modern Slavery Statement and policies are reviewed annually to evaluate their effectiveness and to ensure continual improvement. We consider changes to the law, industry best practices, and feedback from staff and suppliers during this process. This enables us to adapt our procedures where necessary and uphold our commitment to preventing modern slavery throughout our operations.
As a Guildford-based florist, Flowers Guildford takes pride in serving our community with integrity and respect. Our approach to preventing modern slavery reflects our core values and our role as a trusted local business. We are dedicated to maintaining transparency, accountability, and ethical integrity in all our dealings, ensuring the trust of our customers, staff, and partners remains well placed.
