At Flowers Woking, we are deeply committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct across our business operations. As a trusted florist in Woking, serving both local households and businesses, it is imperative that we not only supply quality floral products and services but also ensure that our business and supply chains remain free from any form of modern slavery or human trafficking.
Flowers Woking operates a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We expect the same uncompromising stance from all individuals and organisations that are part of our supply chain. Under no circumstances will we accept practices that exploit people, use forced or child labour, or infringe upon the basic rights and freedoms of individuals. Our commitment stands firm at all levels—within our operations, partnerships, and extended network of suppliers.
We understand that preventing modern slavery requires vigilance, particularly throughout our supply chain. Therefore, we have implemented a comprehensive supplier due diligence process. This includes routine risk assessments of our suppliers, requests for information on their employment practices, and, where necessary, on-site audits. We require all suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery legislation and ethical employment practices as a condition of doing business with us. Any supplier found to be non-compliant will be subject to immediate review and potential termination of relationship.
To ensure ongoing awareness and understanding of the signs and risks of modern slavery, Flowers Woking provides regular training to all staff members. Training covers how to identify potential instances of exploitation and the steps to take should any concerns arise. By empowering our employees with knowledge, we enable them to play a proactive role in protecting vulnerable individuals and upholding our company values.
We maintain clear, confidential channels through which employees, suppliers, and partners can report concerns regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with the highest level of discretion. Retaliation against anyone raising concerns in good faith will not be tolerated. The outcomes of any investigations will drive further policy development and actions to strengthen our anti-slavery measures.
We recognise that combating modern slavery is a continuous effort. To this end, our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. The review considers any changes in legislation, industry best practices, or operational processes. Lessons from previous years and feedback from our team and wider network inform improvements, so that Flowers Woking remains at the forefront of ethical practice within our sector.
As a local florist trusted by Woking households and businesses, we believe in operating with integrity and social responsibility. By publicly committing to these standards, we are taking tangible steps to ensure that our operations do not contribute to the perpetuation of modern slavery. We urge all those connected to Flowers Woking to join us in upholding these vital values.
