At Flowers Clapham, we pride ourselves on being a trusted local florist serving the households and businesses of Clapham. Our ethical responsibilities are integral to the way we conduct our business. We acknowledge that modern slavery is an abhorrent crime affecting millions of people worldwide, and we are dedicated to combating all forms of slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking within all aspects of our operations.
We maintain a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. Flowers Clapham is fully committed to ensuring that modern slavery is not present in our supply chains or any part of our own business. All staff, partners, and suppliers are expected to adhere to our strict policies, reflecting our commitment to ethical practices and respect for human rights.
Our responsibility extends beyond our shop doors and into our supply chain. We conduct thorough due diligence when working with existing and new suppliers. This includes evaluating supplier policies, inspecting credentials, and using risk-based assessments to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery. We seek clearly documented assurances from suppliers and regularly review their practices in line with our ethical standards.
If a supplier is found to breach our standards or be involved in any form of modern slavery, immediate action will be taken. This may include remediation, termination of business, or reporting to relevant authorities, ensuring alignment with our zero tolerance stance.
Education is key to prevention. All team members at Flowers Clapham receive regular training to understand the forms of modern slavery, how to recognize indicators of exploitation, and the steps to take in response to suspected cases. Training sessions are reviewed annually and updated as legislative requirements and local risks evolve. This ensures our team is fully equipped to uphold our policy in all dealings with customers, suppliers, and the community.
We encourage openness and transparency. Any staff member, supplier, or stakeholder who has concerns or suspects that modern slavery may be present in any part of our business or supply chain is encouraged to come forward. We have confidential internal reporting mechanisms in place, where all raised matters are managed sensitively and investigated promptly without prejudice.
We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring that all concerns are taken seriously and treated in strict confidence. This approach helps us foster a culture of vigilance and continuous improvement throughout our operations.
To ensure lasting progress in our fight against modern slavery, we conduct an annual review of our policies, procedures, supply chain, and training programs. This allows us to assess their effectiveness, identify new risks, and strengthen our response where necessary. As a Clapham florist serving a broad community of households and businesses, our annual commitment ensures we remain accountable, transparent, and proactive in our ethical responsibilities.
Serving the Clapham community comes with the responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards. Flowers Clapham is committed to setting an example for responsible sourcing, supporting human rights, and protecting vulnerable individuals. Through continuous vigilance, education, and stringent processes, we aim to play our part in eradicating modern slavery and upholding trust within our local community.
