At Flowers Greenhithe, we are fully committed to conducting our business responsibly, ethically, and with integrity. As a florist trusted by households and businesses throughout Greenhithe, we recognize the crucial role we play in upholding human rights and stamping out any form of modern slavery within our operations and supply chain. Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking, all of which we denounce in the strongest possible terms.
We operate a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Every aspect of our work — from sourcing flowers and goods to delivering services — must be free from exploitation or abuse. We require this ethical standard not only from ourselves but also from all our suppliers and business partners. Any breach of this policy is considered a serious offence and can result in the termination of supplier agreements or employment contracts.
As part of our commitment, Flowers Greenhithe employs rigorous supplier due diligence processes. We carefully vet our suppliers to ensure they operate in line with our ethical standards and comply with all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. This process includes clear communication of our zero tolerance policy, requests for information regarding their own supply chains, and assurances that fair labour conditions are maintained at all stages. Where possible, we seek suppliers who can provide independent certification or proof of ethical sourcing.
We recognise that raising awareness is vital in the fight against modern slavery. All Flowers Greenhithe staff receive regular training to help them identify potential signs of modern slavery or exploitation within our business and with supplier interactions. This training enables our team to act swiftly and knowledgeably, ensuring we maintain high standards of vigilance across all roles and responsibilities.
Our staff are encouraged and empowered to voice any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery related to our operations or supply chain. We maintain confidential reporting channels, ensuring that anyone — employee, supplier, or member of the public — can raise concerns safely and without fear of retaliation. All reported incidents or suspicions will be thoroughly investigated, and corrective action will be taken where necessary.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and in step with evolving best practices and legal requirements. We are always seeking ways to strengthen our approach and encourage feedback from staff, suppliers, and our wider community to help us do so.
Flowers Greenhithe takes its responsibility seriously as a trusted local florist for Greenhithe’s residents and businesses. Upholding human rights is integral to the trust and support of our community. We will continue to work transparently and proactively towards eradicating any risks of modern slavery and thank everyone in our supply chain, our team, and our loyal customers for supporting this critical commitment.
