At Flowers Biggin Hill, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards as a florist trusted by households and businesses across Biggin Hill. We are dedicated to ensuring that our operations and supply chains are free from modern slavery and human trafficking. Our ongoing commitment champions transparency, fairness, and respect throughout all aspects of our business.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking within our business and supply chains. At Flowers Biggin Hill, we believe that all individuals deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. We resolutely refuse to condone or accept any practices that undermine the rights and freedoms of others.
As a committed local florist, we procure flowers, foliage, packaging, and related products from a network of trusted suppliers. We require all suppliers to adhere to our ethical code of conduct, which prohibits the use of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour. Before establishing business relationships, we conduct thorough due diligence to verify standards and assess potential risks related to modern slavery. This due diligence includes requesting information on labour practices and, where appropriate, conducting periodic reviews with suppliers to confirm ongoing compliance. Should any supplier be found in violation of our zero tolerance policy, we reserve the right to take immediate and decisive action, which may include termination of the business relationship.
Our staff are trained to understand the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within both our business and supply chains. We provide ongoing awareness programmes to ensure staff can recognise signs of modern slavery and are equipped with the knowledge needed to respond appropriately. By fostering an informed and vigilant team, we enhance our ability to prevent and respond to potential concerns.
We encourage a culture of openness and transparency, where concerns regarding unethical practices can be raised without fear of reprisal. All staff, suppliers, and stakeholders have access to discreet and confidential channels to report concerns related to modern slavery, human trafficking or any other unethical behaviour. Each report is treated seriously and investigated as appropriate. We are committed to protecting those who raise concerns and responding promptly to all credible reports.
We recognise that the fight against modern slavery is an ongoing process. Each year, we review and update our policies and procedures to ensure continuous improvement. This annual review covers the effectiveness of our practices, the results of our supplier audits, feedback from staff training, and the adequacy of our reporting mechanisms. Any changes or enhancements are communicated openly within the business and, where relevant, to our suppliers and partners.
As a proud Biggin Hill florist, Flowers Biggin Hill is committed to upholding the trust placed in us by our community. We believe that preventing modern slavery is not only a legal duty but a moral obligation that reflects our values as a reliable partner to local households and businesses. Through vigilance, respect, and collaborative effort, we aim to contribute positively to a world free from exploitation.
