At Chiswick Flowers, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards as a trusted florist serving the homes and businesses of the Chiswick community. We recognise our important responsibility to prevent all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking both within our business and across our supply chains. This statement outlines the robust measures we take to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our operations, reflecting our core values and ongoing pledge to act as a responsible local business.
Chiswick Flowers operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. Any activity, business relationship, or supply arrangement that is found to contravene these fundamental principles will be subject to immediate review and, where appropriate, termination. Our zero tolerance approach is communicated clearly and consistently to all staff, suppliers, and partners.
Each of our suppliers plays a vital role in our commitment to ethical business practices. We conduct careful due diligence on all new and existing suppliers, seeking assurances that they fully comply with relevant laws and uphold the same principles regarding the prevention of modern slavery. This due diligence process includes reviewing policies, requesting documentation, and conducting risk assessments. We prioritise working with UK-based and local suppliers where possible, and require all our partners to confirm their own commitment to eradicating modern slavery from their operations.
Chiswick Flowers is committed to fostering a culture of vigilance among our staff. We provide regular training to all team members, ensuring they understand what constitutes modern slavery, how to spot warning signs, and the correct procedures for reporting any concerns. This training content is reviewed and updated annually to reflect best practices and changes in legislation, ensuring that our team remains both knowledgeable and proactive in safeguarding against exploitation.
We maintain clear, confidential, and accessible reporting channels so that any staff, supplier, or customer can report suspected instances of modern slavery or unethical conduct. All reports are treated seriously and investigated thoroughly, without fear of reprisal for those raising genuine concerns. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and to responding rapidly to any credible allegations or observations of unethical behaviour within our organisation or supply chain.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually, taking into account feedback, outcomes from our due diligence processes, and changes in regulations or guidance. Where necessary, we adapt our procedures and reinforce our staff training, ensuring our approach remains effective and fit for purpose. Through ongoing review, we are committed to continuous improvement and to holding ourselves accountable to our customers, staff, and the wider community we serve.
As a leading Chiswick florist, we understand the deep trust placed in us by local households and businesses. This statement reflects not only our compliance with legal obligations, but our wider sense of responsibility to our customers and our community. Chiswick Flowers will continue to work uncompromisingly towards the absolute prevention of modern slavery in all its forms and to ensure our business remains a force for good within Chiswick and beyond.
