At Flowers Parsons Green, we are dedicated to operating with the utmost integrity and respect for human rights. As a trusted florist serving the Parsons Green community, our moral and legal responsibility is to ensure there is no place for modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or our supply chains. This statement outlines the steps and standards we maintain to detect, prevent, and address all forms of modern slavery.
Flowers Parsons Green maintains a strict zero tolerance stance toward slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking in all their forms. This policy applies to all our staff, suppliers, and any entities we engage with. Adherence to ethical and fair labour practices is non-negotiable, and any breach will be met with immediate corrective action and, where appropriate, termination of relationships with offending parties.
We recognise that our responsibility extends beyond our doorstep to the partners and suppliers who help us deliver quality service to Parsons Green households and businesses. Before entering any commercial relationship, we conduct rigorous checks to ensure that our suppliers uphold the same high standards of ethical conduct. Assessment criteria include their recruitment practices, working conditions, and compliance with relevant labour laws. We also reserve the right to audit suppliers and require evidence of their anti-slavery policies and procedures. Suppliers found to be in violation of these standards risk immediate removal from our trusted network.
All members of staff at Flowers Parsons Green receive training tailored to help them understand what modern slavery looks like and how to identify potential indicators. This education is not limited to managers or senior staff, recognising that everyone plays a role in prevention. Our training sessions cover the risks within both the floral and retail industries, reporting procedures, and how employees can seek support if concerns arise.
We encourage the reporting of any suspicions, concerns, or evidence of modern slavery and are committed to offering a safe and confidential process. Employees, suppliers, and third parties can raise such concerns directly to our management team. We investigate all reports thoroughly and assure protection for individuals making disclosures in good faith, in line with our wider whistleblower protections.
The issue of modern slavery requires constant vigilance. We review our policies, supplier partnerships, and procedures on an annual basis to ensure their effectiveness. This review includes learning from incidents, updating staff training, and considering improvements to our due diligence and reporting processes. By doing so, Flowers Parsons Green reaffirms its commitment to creating a supply chain and workplace free from exploitation.
As a locally owned florist, Flowers Parsons Green takes pride in serving the families, businesses, and organisations of Parsons Green. Upholding a robust stance against modern slavery is part of how we honour the trust placed in us by our customers. By leading by example and promoting transparency, we play our part in fostering an ethical, vigilant, and caring community.
