Flowers Teddington is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and recognises our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Teddington, we are dedicated not only to quality service and products, but also to ensuring dignity, safety, and respect throughout our supply chains and operations.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This commitment is reflected in our company values and guides every aspect of our daily operations, from sourcing flowers and materials to customer service and employee welfare. No form of exploitation will ever be knowingly tolerated within our business or among our suppliers.
To ensure that our supply chain remains free from modern slavery, Flowers Teddington conducts diligent checks on all new and existing suppliers. We require suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery legislation and ethical standards, and regularly review their policies, practices, and working conditions. Where concerns are identified or suspected, we will take immediate, appropriate action, including the termination of supplier relationships where necessary.
Ongoing staff training is integral to our approach in combating modern slavery. All members of the Flowers Teddington team receive regular guidance on recognising warning signs of modern slavery and understanding the importance of ethical business practices. Training empowers our staff to feel confident and responsible in raising concerns, and reinforces our company-wide culture of vigilance and integrity.
We encourage all employees, suppliers, and members of the public to speak up if they have any concerns related to slavery or human trafficking within our business or supply chain. We have established clear internal reporting channels, ensuring that all reports are treated seriously, confidentially, and investigated promptly and thoroughly. We are committed to supporting anyone who, in good faith, raises a concern, fostering an environment where potential wrongdoing is addressed rather than overlooked.
Modern slavery is a serious and evolving risk, which is why we conduct a thorough annual review of our policies and procedures. This assessment ensures that our practices remain robust and effective, and helps us identify new opportunities for improvement, training, and engagement with both staff and suppliers. We are committed to transparency and accountability, providing updates on the progress of our anti-slavery measures as part of our annual review process.
As a key part of the Teddington community, we recognise our wider duty to act ethically and to lead by example, providing assurance to local households and businesses that our flowers and services are underpinned by principled practices. Our stance against modern slavery reflects our dedication not just to compliance, but to being a force for good within our community and industry.
Flowers Teddington remains unwavering in our commitment to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement will continue to be reviewed and updated annually to reflect evolving best practices and maintain the trust placed in us by the people and businesses of Teddington.
