Flowers Becontree Heath recognises the responsibility it holds as a trusted florist serving local households and businesses. We are committed to operating in accordance with the highest ethical standards and take a proactive stance against all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, compulsory labour, and human trafficking. Our zero-tolerance policy reflects not just legal obligations but our core values as a community-focused business.
Modern slavery is a gross violation of human rights and dignity. Flowers Becontree Heath operates with a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery and human trafficking, both within our organisation and throughout our supply chain. We have clear policies and robust procedures in place to identify, prevent, and address any risk of slavery or exploitation.
As part of our commitment to combating modern slavery, we conduct detailed due diligence on all our suppliers. Prior to engagement, suppliers are assessed to ensure their business practices meet our ethical standards and do not tolerate any form of forced or child labour. We require our suppliers to commit to our anti-slavery values and expect them to maintain transparent and fair working conditions. Regular reviews and checks are undertaken to ensure ongoing compliance, and any supplier found to be in breach of these standards will have their relationship with us terminated immediately.
To strengthen our collective vigilance, we provide ongoing training to all Flowers Becontree Heath employees. This training ensures our staff are aware of the signs of modern slavery, understand the risks, and know the appropriate procedures for responding to concerns. By equipping our team with relevant knowledge, we aim to foster an organisational culture where ethical behaviour is the norm and modern slavery is never tolerated.
We actively encourage anyone associated with Flowers Becontree Heath, be they team members, suppliers, or members of the public, to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery or exploitation. Clear reporting channels are in place to facilitate confidential disclosures. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly, in line with our strict anti-slavery procedures. We also ensure protection for anyone who raises concerns in good faith, so that no action or retaliation will be taken against them.
We are committed to continuously monitoring and improving our approach to tackling modern slavery. Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, and feedback from stakeholders. Areas of improvement are identified and implementation plans are put in place to ensure ongoing progress in safeguarding our workforce and supply chain.
As a longstanding florist in Becontree Heath, we take pride in serving our community with integrity. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is intrinsic to our role as a trusted partner to local households and businesses. We pledge to uphold the highest standards of transparency and accountability, both in our shop and across all areas of our supply chain. Through these efforts, we aim to contribute to a fairer, safer community for all.
