As a trusted florist proudly serving Epsom’s local households and businesses, Flowers Epsom recognises our responsibility to uphold ethical standards across everything we do. We are dedicated to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our ongoing commitment to preventing such practices and reflects the values we uphold as a local Epsom favourite.
Flowers Epsom maintains a zero tolerance stance towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We do not, and will not, knowingly work with any organisation or individual involved in these practices. All members of our team, as well as our suppliers, are expected to share and support this uncompromising approach.
We understand that the ethical integrity of our supply chain is critical to our business. That’s why every supplier and partner undergoes a robust due diligence process prior to engagement. This includes risk assessment, evaluating company policies, and requiring confirmation that they have their own measures in place to prevent modern slavery. We continue to monitor existing suppliers through regular reviews and request evidence of compliance as necessary. Any supplier found to be in breach of our standards faces immediate review and potential termination of our business relationship.
Our staff and management are our first line of defence in identifying and preventing modern slavery. We provide ongoing training for all employees to help them recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand relevant legislation. New employees are introduced to our policies from day one, and refresher training is provided to ensure continued vigilance and awareness.
Flowers Epsom encourages a culture of openness and transparency concerning labour practices. We offer clear and confidential channels for staff, suppliers, and customers to raise suspicions or report incidents of unethical behaviour or suspected modern slavery without fear of reprisal. All reports are regarded with the utmost seriousness and acted upon swiftly according to our established procedures.
We are committed to reviewing and strengthening our approach to modern slavery prevention on a regular basis. This statement is formally reviewed every year as part of our broader risk assessment and policy review process. We use lessons learned over the year to improve our due diligence, training programmes, and reporting mechanisms, ensuring our strategy remains robust and effective.
Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery extends beyond compliance; it is a core part of Flowers Epsom’s ethical identity. As a valued partner to families and businesses within the Epsom community, we take pride in providing beautiful floral arrangements with integrity and accountability. We acknowledge the continued importance of vigilance, transparency, and collaboration in upholding the trust our customers place in us.
This statement has been approved by Flowers Epsom’s management and represents our ongoing promise to act ethically and responsibly in all our business activities.
