At Flowers Chertsey, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. Serving households and businesses throughout Chertsey, we recognise our responsibility to operate with integrity and to ensure that our services are free from modern slavery and human trafficking. Our commitment to this cause is unwavering, and this statement outlines the actions we take to safeguard human rights within our operations and supply chains.
Flowers Chertsey has a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We believe that everyone has the right to fair and humane treatment, and any infringement upon these rights is unacceptable. Our approach extends not only to our direct employees but also to those working throughout our supply chain. Should any form of modern slavery be identified, we will act immediately to address and remediate the situation.
We understand that the fight against modern slavery extends beyond our immediate control and into the broader network of suppliers and partners we work with. Accordingly, we conduct thorough due diligence when selecting and renewing contracts with suppliers. This process includes assessments of their employment practices, working conditions, and compliance with local and international laws concerning slavery and human trafficking. We require our suppliers to demonstrate their own commitment to these principles and may terminate relationships with those unable or unwilling to meet our standards.
Our employees are vital to the ongoing success of our anti-slavery efforts. All staff members receive comprehensive training to identify the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, and they are informed about the steps they should take if they suspect any issues. By raising awareness within our team, we ensure that vigilance against exploitation is embedded in our day-to-day operations.
To encourage openness and accountability, we have established clear and confidential reporting channels for staff and suppliers. Anyone who suspects or knows of possible instances of modern slavery associated with our business is encouraged to communicate their concerns without fear of retaliation or reprisal. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with sensitivity and discretion.
Recognising the importance of continuous improvement, Flowers Chertsey undertakes an annual review of our practices and procedures to ensure they remain effective in combating modern slavery. This review helps us to identify areas for enhancement, respond to any changes in legislation, and incorporate feedback from staff, suppliers, and stakeholders.
As a trusted florist serving the people and businesses of Chertsey, we know our reputation depends on acting responsibly. Upholding robust standards in the fight against modern slavery forms a central part of our duty to protect those who interact with our business, from customers and staff to those within our wider supply chain. We are committed to ensuring our operations contribute positively to our local community and to the broader effort to eradicate exploitative practices.
