Flowers Leatherhead is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in all areas of our business. As a trusted Leatherhead florist serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to help combat modern slavery and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the measures we take to ensure these risks are identified, managed, and prevented throughout our operations and supply chains.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Flowers Leatherhead prohibits the use of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour in any form. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, partners, and contractors. Our approach underlines that any evidence of modern slavery in our business or supply chain will result in immediate and decisive action, including termination of contracts where necessary.
We understand that the risk of modern slavery is not limited to our direct operations but can also be present deeper within the supply chain. Flowers Leatherhead takes a rigorous approach to supplier due diligence. We screen new suppliers for ethical practices and require them to confirm compliance with relevant legislation regarding labour standards. Periodic reviews are conducted with existing suppliers to ensure their ongoing commitment. Wherever possible, we source flowers and materials from reputable growers and wholesalers known for ethical and fair labour practices.
Educating our staff is a fundamental part of our efforts to prevent modern slavery. All team members are trained to understand what modern slavery is, how to identify the signs, and the steps required to report any concerns. Regular refresher sessions ensure continued staff awareness, empowering every employee to play a role in protecting vulnerable people and upholding our values of integrity and fairness.
We encourage anyone with concerns regarding modern slavery or human trafficking within our organisation or supply chain to raise these safely and without fear of reprisal. Staff are informed of clear, confidential reporting channels within Flowers Leatherhead, and we foster a culture where speaking up is supported and valued. All reports and concerns will be investigated promptly, with action taken as appropriate to ensure our standards are upheld.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. We are committed to continuously improving our policies and practices in line with evolving best practice and legislative requirements. Any identified areas for improvement will be addressed as a matter of priority, and updates will be reflected in our future statements.
As a florist rooted in Leatherhead, our reputation is built on trust – with our customers, our staff, and our community. We understand the importance of acting with integrity and ensuring our business is free from practices that exploit vulnerable people. Flowers Leatherhead pledges to uphold and advance the fight against modern slavery in all aspects of our operations, reflecting the values expected from a local business dedicated to serving our neighbours and fellow local enterprises.
