Flowers Broxbourne takes the issue of modern slavery extremely seriously. As a respected florist providing for families and businesses across Broxbourne, we recognize our responsibility to uphold human rights and ethical standards at every stage of our operations and supply chains. We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery in any form, including forced labour, human trafficking, and servitude, has no place within our business.
Modern slavery is an abhorrent crime that undermines basic human dignity. At Flowers Broxbourne, we enforce a strict zero tolerance policy against modern slavery and human trafficking. We expect the same high standards from all employees and suppliers, and we take immediate action if we become aware of any breaches. All contracts and agreements with suppliers clearly communicate our expectations on the prevention of modern slavery.
We recognise that the floral industry can be vulnerable to unethical labour practices, particularly within global supply chains. To mitigate these risks, Flowers Broxbourne conducts thorough due diligence on our suppliers, both in the UK and overseas. This includes assessing their own anti-slavery policies, labour conditions, and recruitment processes. We require suppliers to confirm their compliance with all applicable anti-slavery laws. Should any supplier fall short of our requirements, we will not hesitate to cease engagement until rectification is made.
Ensuring our staff understands the risks and indicators of modern slavery is crucial. All members of our team receive regular training on recognising potential signs of exploitation and the appropriate steps to take if concerns are raised. This training is reviewed and updated annually to remain effective and relevant. By equipping our staff with knowledge and confidence, we foster a workplace that actively guards against any forms of modern slavery.
Flowers Broxbourne encourages a culture of openness and accountability. Staff, customers, suppliers, and members of the public are encouraged to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery. Reports can be made confidentially to the management team or via our established internal reporting systems. Each report is fully investigated, and appropriate action is taken in line with our policies and UK legislation. No one will suffer any detriment for raising genuine concerns in good faith.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our underlying policies are reviewed each year to ensure ongoing effectiveness. We also monitor developments in legislation and best practice to strengthen our approach over time. The outcomes of these reviews inform future training, supplier selection, and any required updates to our procedures. Our annual review process ensures we continually raise standards and remain proactive in eliminating the risk of modern slavery.
At Flowers Broxbourne, our role as a local florist extends beyond delivering beautiful arrangements – it means conducting our business ethically and responsibly. We serve households and businesses throughout Broxbourne, and we are dedicated to fostering trust within our community by upholding the highest standards regarding human rights. Our ongoing efforts to prevent modern slavery reflect our deep commitment to safeguarding the wellbeing of everyone our business touches.
