Flowers Anerley recognises its responsibility in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. As a respected florist serving households and businesses throughout Anerley and the surrounding areas, we are committed to upholding high ethical standards across all areas of our operations. We strongly believe that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chains, and we are dedicated to taking proactive steps to prevent and eliminate such practices.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking. Flowers Anerley will not knowingly engage with or support any supplier, contractor, or business partner that is involved in or benefits from modern slavery in any form. This policy extends to every area of our business and is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains robust and effective.
We recognise that vigilance in our supply chain is key to preventing modern slavery. Flowers Anerley conducts thorough due diligence on all potential and existing suppliers. This due diligence includes assessing suppliers’ ethical policies, their compliance with relevant legislation, and their own processes for preventing slavery and trafficking. Wherever possible, we require suppliers to confirm their commitment to ethical trading and demonstrate their own anti-slavery practices. We seek to build relationships with suppliers who are transparent, cooperative and share our values regarding fair and legal labour practices.
To reinforce our commitment, Flowers Anerley provides all staff with training on identifying signs of modern slavery and understanding their role in reporting concerns. Periodic refresher training ensures that new staff members and established team members alike remain informed about the evolving risks and challenges associated with modern slavery. We foster an environment where staff feel confident to discuss ethical concerns and take appropriate action without fear of reprisal.
It is essential that any member of Flowers Anerley—whether an employee, contractor, or supplier—feels able to raise concerns about modern slavery in confidence. We have clear internal reporting procedures for anyone who suspects or witnesses unethical conduct. These procedures are communicated to all team members during their induction and are available for reference at any time. All reports are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly by the appropriate management team, and effective action is taken wherever necessary.
This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance. The review process includes evaluating any incidents or risks reported, checking supplier compliance, assessing the effectiveness of staff training, and updating procedures where necessary. We may also consult with external experts and industry guidance to ensure our approach reflects best practice. Flowers Anerley is committed to continuous improvement in the fight against modern slavery.
