At Hounslow Florist, we are dedicated to providing beautiful floral arrangements with honesty and integrity. We recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our business, from our supply chains to our workplace practices. As a trusted florist serving Hounslow households and local businesses, we understand the importance of ethical conduct and transparent operations.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking. Modern slavery is wholly unacceptable, and we will not engage in or support any business practices that might enable or be complicit in such activities. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our business and expect the same of everyone we work with, including our suppliers and partners.
Most of our floral products and sundries are sourced through reputable suppliers. To ensure our supply chain remains free of modern slavery risks, we conduct rigorous due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers. We ask all key suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery legislation and require them to provide transparency in their sourcing processes. Our ongoing relationship with suppliers is contingent on their adherence to our ethical values, and we reserve the right to review or terminate relationships with any supplier found to be violating anti-slavery standards.
We believe in equipping our staff with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify and prevent modern slavery. All employees, including management and delivery staff, receive training on modern slavery awareness as part of our onboarding process. Regular refresher training is provided to ensure everyone stays informed about the risks, warning signs, and reporting procedures relating to modern slavery and human trafficking. By promoting an informed workforce, we aim to foster a culture of vigilance and responsibility.
We encourage anyone—staff, suppliers, or members of the public—who suspects any instance of modern slavery within our business or supply chain to report their concerns. Hounslow Florist ensures that all reports are treated confidentially and taken seriously. We provide clear internal channels for staff to voice concerns and protect whistleblowers from any form of retaliation. Information on how to report is made available to all staff and regularly communicated in internal updates.
Our Modern Slavery Statement and associated policy measures are reviewed annually to ensure ongoing compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to adapt to any changes in the law or best practice. Each review gives us the opportunity to assess the effectiveness of our efforts and make improvements where needed. Feedback from staff and suppliers is welcomed and considered during these reviews, reinforcing our commitment to continuous improvement.
Serving households and businesses in Hounslow places us in a position of trust within our local community. Hounslow Florist embraces this responsibility by pledging transparency, ethical sourcing, and steadfast opposition to modern slavery. We remain vigilant so that every bouquet delivered not only brings beauty and joy but is also created and supplied in a manner that upholds human rights and dignity.
