At Roehampton Florist, we uphold the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Roehampton, we recognise our responsibility not only in delivering quality floral arrangements but also in ensuring our business practices, and those of our suppliers, reflect our firm commitment to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking.
We operate with a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including but not limited to forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour. Our stance is non-negotiable: any evidence or suspicion of modern slavery within our operations or among our suppliers will result in immediate investigation and appropriate action, up to and including the termination of business relationships.
As a florist sourcing a variety of flowers, plants, accessories, and services, we are acutely aware that risks of modern slavery can exist at various stages of the supply chain. All suppliers, whether large or small, are vetted carefully through an initial due diligence process. This includes requiring suppliers to confirm their compliance with modern slavery regulations and ethical sourcing practices, and, where appropriate, providing evidence of their own anti-slavery policies.
We maintain regular communication with our suppliers to ensure continued compliance and expect them to do the same with their own supply partners. We will not knowingly work with any supplier or contractor who is found to be in breach of anti-slavery laws or principles.
Our staff members are our first line of defence against modern slavery. We provide regular training and awareness programmes to ensure our team can recognise potential warning signs of exploitation or unethical working conditions, whether within our own workplace or in dealings with suppliers and contractors. This empowerment ensures every employee at Roehampton Florist understands their role in safeguarding human rights and promoting ethical practices.
Encouraging open and confidential reporting is at the heart of our anti-slavery approach. All employees, suppliers, and contractors are urged to report any concerns, suspicions, or incidents relating to modern slavery or human trafficking. Multiple reporting channels are available, and we offer assurances that any reports will be acted upon promptly, sensitively, and without fear of reprisal. Every report is taken seriously and investigated in line with our established procedures.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that our policies and practices remain effective and relevant. As part of the annual review, we assess our performance, update staff training, and evaluate the robustness of our supply chain checks. We are dedicated to continuous improvement, adapting our approach proactively in response to new risks, legal requirements, and best practices. The statement is approved at the highest level of management and reissued every twelve months.
We understand that our customers, both households and businesses, trust us not only with their floral needs but also to act as a responsible member of the local community. By maintaining rigorous standards and committing to ongoing vigilance, Roehampton Florist is proud to play its part in combating modern slavery and upholding the dignity and rights of all individuals across our supply networks.
