As a longstanding and trusted florist proudly serving Stockwell’s households and businesses, Flowers Stockwell recognises its responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethical practice. We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labour have no place in our business or our supply chains. This statement outlines the measures we take to identify, prevent, and address any risks related to modern slavery in connection with our operations.
Flowers Stockwell enforces a strict zero tolerance policy against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Any suspicion or evidence of these practices is treated with the utmost seriousness. We have embedded this policy across our organisation and require that all employees, contractors, and suppliers adhere to our ethical standards in both actions and decision-making. We will immediately cease relationships with any third party found to be in breach of this policy.
To ensure the integrity of our supply chain—ranging from flower farms and wholesalers to packaging suppliers and service providers—Flowers Stockwell carries out regular and thorough due diligence. New and existing suppliers are evaluated for compliance with employment law, living wage standards, and ethical sourcing practices. Our supplier contracts specifically prohibit forced labour and require suppliers to ensure similar standards throughout their own supply chains. All suppliers are expected to provide evidence of their efforts to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking on request.
Ongoing training is provided to all staff at Flowers Stockwell to reinforce our zero tolerance approach. Employees receive information on how to recognise signs of exploitation and the correct procedures for raising concerns. This training ensures that everyone in our business remains alert to the risks of modern slavery and is empowered to play an active role in preventing it.
We have established clear and confidential reporting channels for staff, suppliers, and the wider community to raise concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery. All reports are taken seriously, handled sensitively, and fully investigated. Flowers Stockwell ensures protection from retaliation for those who come forward in good faith. Procedures are in place to escalate any such reports to senior management for prompt action.
This modern slavery statement and our associated policies are reviewed annually to reflect changes in legislation, industry best practice, and the evolution of our business activities. We are committed to continuous improvement, seeking regular feedback from our staff and partners, and updating our processes as necessary to further reduce risk.
As a Stockwell florist deeply woven into the community, we understand the importance of ethical behaviour. Our ongoing efforts to combat modern slavery are part of our broader commitment to social responsibility, trust, and transparency—qualities that define our relationships with local households and businesses.
This Modern Slavery Statement was approved by the senior leadership of Flowers Stockwell and will be reviewed annually to ensure ongoing compliance and effectiveness.
