At Flowers Romford, we are committed to operating with integrity and responsibility in every aspect of our business. We recognise our duty to play an active role in the prevention of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Romford, we take our social responsibilities seriously and strive to uphold the highest ethical standards both in our own operations and throughout our supply chain.
Modern slavery is a heinous crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. Flowers Romford maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery within our business or supply chain. We are dedicated to ensuring that no part of our organisation, nor any supplier connected to us, is involved in forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, or any form of exploitation. Should we become aware of any such activities, we will act swiftly and decisively in accordance with the law and our company values.
We recognise that the greatest risk of modern slavery often exists within supply chains. For this reason, Flowers Romford conducts thorough due diligence when selecting suppliers. This includes requiring all suppliers to confirm their adherence to anti-slavery and ethical labour standards. We regularly review supplier practices and, where necessary, request documentation or audits to verify compliance. By engaging only with reputable suppliers who share our values, we seek to mitigate the risks of modern slavery infiltrating our procurement and sourcing arrangements.
Our staff are essential in upholding our standards and identifying potential risks. We provide tailored training to all employees, ensuring they understand what modern slavery is, how to identify possible warning signs, and the procedures for raising concerns. Regular updates and refresher sessions are part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining vigilance and awareness at every level of our organisation.
Flowers Romford encourages a culture of transparency and accountability. We maintain safe and accessible reporting channels for staff, suppliers, and customers who may have concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical practices connected to our business. Employees are reassured that they can report concerns in confidence and without fear of reprisal. All reports are investigated promptly, and appropriate action is taken where necessary. We are also committed to reviewing and improving our internal processes to ensure all concerns are handled effectively.
We understand that combating modern slavery is an ongoing effort requiring regular review and adaptation. Flowers Romford conducts an annual review of our modern slavery policies and procedures. This includes auditing our supply chain, assessing staff training effectiveness, and evaluating the outcomes of any reported incidents. We use these reviews to identify areas for improvement and to update our approach in line with best practice and evolving legislation. Our commitment to continuous improvement ensures our business remains vigilant and proactive in preventing modern slavery.
As a long-established Romford florist with deep roots in our local community, we understand that our customers rely on us not only for beautiful flowers but also for trustworthy and principled service. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to safeguard the rights and welfare of everyone connected to our business—from our staff and suppliers to the wider community we serve. We will continue to uphold these standards and work with others in our industry to promote fair, ethical, and slavery-free practices.
