Flowers Chase Cross is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in all our operations. As a trusted florist serving the Chase Cross community, we recognise our responsibility to ensure our business and supply chains are free from modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines the ongoing actions we take to identify, prevent, and address risks associated with modern slavery, reflecting both our values and our duty to the households and businesses we serve.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This foundational principle applies to every aspect of our business, from our dedicated team to our valued suppliers and partners. No act of slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking will ever be tolerated within our operations or supply network. Should any such practice be identified, we will act swiftly and decisively in line with our policies and statutory obligations.
As a provider of fresh flowers and floral arrangements sourced both locally and internationally, we recognise the importance of rigorous supplier screening. All potential suppliers are thoroughly assessed to ensure they share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery. Our due diligence process includes background checks, supplier self-assessments regarding labour practices, and a requirement to comply with anti-slavery policies. We reserve the right to conduct audits and regular reviews with our suppliers, prioritising transparency, traceability, and ethical sourcing. Collaborating only with partners who meet our ethical standards is essential to our business integrity.
Our team is fundamental to our ongoing vigilance against modern slavery. All staff receive training tailored to recognise the signs of modern slavery and to understand the risks relevant to our sector. By equipping our staff with this knowledge, we foster a culture of awareness and collective responsibility. Regular briefings and updated guidance ensure that modern slavery remains a visible and prioritised issue within our daily operations.
Flowers Chase Cross encourages open communication and is committed to providing a safe environment for raising concerns. Any staff member, supplier, or member of our community who suspects an instance of modern slavery is encouraged to report their concerns via our internal channels. These reports are taken seriously, handled confidentially, and investigated promptly. Should any concern arise, we pledge to take all necessary actions to address and remedy the situation in accordance with our policies and legal requirements.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance to our operations. Each year, we assess the measures we have taken, review internal and external feedback, and identify opportunities for improvement. We are committed to adapting our approach as needed to meet evolving risks and uphold the highest standards of ethical business conduct.
At Flowers Chase Cross, our commitment to combating modern slavery reflects our broader responsibility as a local florist trusted by Chase Cross households and businesses. We take pride in operating with integrity, fostering ethical relationships, and promoting a safe, fair, and just supply chain for our community. Through vigilance, partnership, and transparency, we continue to strengthen our stand against all forms of modern slavery.
