At Flowers Thames Ditton, we are passionately committed to ethical conduct and the fight against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Operating as a trusted florist in Thames Ditton, serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to the community to ensure not only quality flowers but also the highest ethical standards throughout our operations and supply chain.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in any form. This applies to our own activities as well as those of our suppliers, partners, and contractors. We do not tolerate forced labour, child labour, servitude, debt bondage, or any exploitative practices, whether in the United Kingdom or overseas. Our commitment is embedded in all contracts and company policies, and we expect our suppliers to uphold similar standards in their own businesses.
Supplier integrity is essential to our mission. We carry out assessments and checks to ensure our suppliers and partners operate roadmaps that are free from modern slavery risks. This selection process includes requests for information about labour practices, working conditions, and operational transparency. We favour suppliers who can demonstrate clear and robust ethical standards, and we periodically review these relationships to assess ongoing compliance. Where we discover any evidence of non-compliance or questionable behaviour, we act swiftly and decisively, including cessation of business if required.
We are committed to equipping our team with the necessary knowledge and resources to identify, prevent, and report potential cases of modern slavery. All staff receive training on the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, our reporting procedures, and their responsibilities. Continuous education helps foster a vigilant workplace culture in which everyone is alert and empowered to safeguard vulnerable individuals, both inside and outside our organisation.
Flowers Thames Ditton is dedicated to providing secure, confidential reporting channels for all staff, suppliers, and partners to raise concerns regarding modern slavery. All reports are treated with the highest sensitivity and investigated promptly. We will take appropriate action on any suspicion or allegation to protect individuals and uphold our ethical standards. No individual will suffer any form of detriment as a result of reporting a concern in good faith.
We recognise the need for ongoing vigilance and continuous improvement. Our Modern Slavery Statement, practices, and policies are reviewed annually by our management team to ensure continued effectiveness and relevance in light of emerging information, evolving risks, and feedback from staff and stakeholders. Recommendations for enhancements are implemented promptly to keep our processes robust.
This statement reflects our responsibility as a long-standing Thames Ditton florist serving local households and businesses. We believe that the beauty we deliver in our flowers must be matched by beauty in how we treat people, both within our business and throughout our supply network. Flowers Thames Ditton will continue to prioritise ethical integrity in all that we do, maintaining the trust our community places in us every day.
