At Flowers Sydenham Hill, we recognise our clear responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving the Sydenham Hill community—both local households and businesses—we are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and throughout our supply chains. Our zero tolerance approach reflects the standards our customers expect and deserve, underpinning our ongoing dedication to social responsibility.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, child labour, and all forms of forced or involuntary labour. This policy applies to all individuals working for or on behalf of Flowers Sydenham Hill, including employees, suppliers, and business partners. All team members are required to familiarise themselves with this policy and maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct.
Understanding that our supply chain is essential to our business, Flowers Sydenham Hill carries out thorough due diligence when engaging new suppliers. We assess potential suppliers for their standards related to modern slavery and expect all partners to fully comply with relevant laws and regulations. Our supplier agreements require confirmation of ethical labour practices; we do not tolerate non-compliance and reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to uphold these standards.
We believe awareness and vigilance are crucial. All staff members at Flowers Sydenham Hill receive guidance and training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand the risks within our industry. This ensures our team is equipped to identify any areas of concern, both within our immediate operations and further along our supply chains.
We are committed to open communication and encourage anyone—whether staff, suppliers, or members of the public—who suspects potential modern slavery or unethical practices to report their concerns. We maintain clear and confidential reporting channels to ensure that any issue is treated seriously and investigated promptly, without fear of retribution for those who speak up in good faith.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. We regularly assess our policies, supplier relationships, and training procedures to identify any improvements needed. Our commitment to transparency ensures that our actions remain aligned with our values and with the expectations of our Sydenham Hill community.
As a fixture within the Sydenham Hill area, Flowers Sydenham Hill is committed to fostering a safe, fair, and ethical environment for all. Our work in upholding these principles is not only a legal obligation but a reflection of our ethical stance as a florist dedicated to the wellbeing of our customers, team, and wider community.
