As a trusted florist proudly serving the Rickmansworth community, at Flowers Rickmansworth we recognise our responsibility to operate ethically and with integrity at all levels of our business. We are fully committed to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced or compulsory labour, and child labour within both our own activities and those of our suppliers. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the actions we take to uphold this commitment and our determination to maintain the highest ethical standards in our floral business.
Flowers Rickmansworth maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Every member of our team, and all those we do business with, are expected to uphold these principles. Any involvement in exploitative practices is completely unacceptable. We clearly communicate this policy to our staff, partners, and suppliers, and require it to be respected at all times.
We carefully select our suppliers based not only on the quality of their products but also on their commitment to ethical conduct. As part of our due diligence process, we engage with suppliers to ensure they share our values and do not tolerate any form of modern slavery in their supply chains. We seek assurances that they operate in accordance with relevant laws and standards, and we expect transparency in all aspects of their operations.
If a supplier is found to be non-compliant with our expectations regarding modern slavery, we will take immediate corrective action, which may include terminating the business relationship. We regularly review and update our supplier assessments to further mitigate risk.
All staff at Flowers Rickmansworth receive training to raise awareness of modern slavery, recognise signs of exploitation, and understand the importance of ethical conduct. This training enables our team to identify potential risks both within our own business and in our wider supply chain. We also encourage open dialogue so any concerns or suspicions can be readily raised and addressed.
We promote an open and supportive culture in which anyone who has concerns regarding modern slavery is encouraged to speak up. Reports can be made confidentially, and all matters raised will be treated seriously and investigated promptly. We ensure that staff, suppliers, and others working with us know how to report suspected issues, and we protect those who raise concerns in good faith against retaliation in any form.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and reflects current best practice and legal requirements. We continuously seek improvements in our processes, supplier vetting, training, and awareness initiatives to reinforce our commitment to eradicating modern slavery from every aspect of our business operations.
Flowers Rickmansworth is honoured to serve the households and businesses of Rickmansworth. We believe that conducting our business ethically strengthens the trust placed in us by our community. Our stand against modern slavery is a key part of our broader social responsibility—to uphold human dignity and ensure fairness across our business and supply chain. We are dedicated to continual improvement and remain vigilant in our efforts to prevent modern slavery in all its forms.
