Flowers Brent is committed to operating as a responsible and ethical business within our community. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Brent, we recognize our obligation to ensure our operations and supply chains are free from modern slavery, including forced labour and human trafficking. This statement outlines our approach to preventing modern slavery and the steps we take to promote respect for human rights throughout all aspects of our business.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in any form. Flowers Brent is wholly opposed to all practices of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour and is dedicated to upholding the rights and wellbeing of all individuals connected to our business, whether directly or through our supply chains. Any evidence or suspicion of modern slavery will be treated with the utmost seriousness and acted upon without delay.
Our relationships with suppliers are foundational to the integrity of our business. Flowers Brent undertakes due diligence across our supply chain to assess risks of modern slavery and to ensure our suppliers share and uphold our values. We seek to work exclusively with partners who demonstrate a commitment to ethical labour practices and compliance with all relevant laws and regulations governing human rights and fair treatment.
As part of our due diligence process, suppliers are required to acknowledge our standards and provide assurances that their operations, and those of their own supply chains, do not involve enslaved or trafficked persons. Where risk is identified, we engage directly with suppliers to address the issue and, if necessary, re-evaluate our business relationship to safeguard against any form of modern slavery.
Education is a critical component of our anti-slavery measures. All Flowers Brent team members receive guidance and training appropriate to their roles to help them recognize situations which may give rise to concerns of modern slavery. By building this awareness, we empower our staff to act responsibly, remain vigilant, and seek clarification whenever they encounter risks or uncertainties pertaining to human rights in our supply network or business activities.
Maintaining open, confidential reporting channels for all employees and any party conducting business with us is a top priority. Flowers Brent ensures that any individual, whether from inside our organization or from our extended network of suppliers, can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery without fear of retaliation. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly by senior management. Where concerns are substantiated, appropriate actions will be taken in line with our zero tolerance approach.
Flowers Brent’s Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually, ensuring ongoing effectiveness and alignment with legal developments and best industry practice. We regularly evaluate our policies, practices, and procedures to improve our ability to identify and address evolving risks within our business and supply chains.
As a responsible and trusted Brent florist, we take pride in supporting our community with services that are honest, ethical, and respectful of all individuals. Our ongoing commitment to combatting modern slavery reflects both our values and our social responsibility, strengthening trust among all our customers and partners.
