Modern Slavery Statement | Florist South Wimbledon

Our Commitment to Combatting Modern Slavery

Florist South Wimbledon is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every area of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout South Wimbledon, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and ensure that our operations and supply chains remain free from exploitation.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in any form. This commitment extends to all aspects of our business— from sourcing flowers and materials to delivering finished arrangements. We expect the same high standards from all individuals and organisations associated with us, including suppliers, contractors, and business partners.

Supplier Due Diligence

Florist South Wimbledon recognises the importance of rigorous supplier selection and monitoring to prevent the risk of modern slavery across our supply chain. We work exclusively with reputable suppliers who share our values and commitment to ethical business practices. As part of our due diligence process, we require all major suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery laws and to demonstrate policies and procedures that identify and mitigate risks related to human trafficking and forced labour.

Regular reviews of supplier practices are conducted, and should any concerns arise—such as suspicion or evidence of non-compliance—immediate action is taken, which may include severing business ties. All new suppliers are assessed for their ethical standards as an essential part of our approval process.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe that awareness and education among our team are key to preventing modern slavery. Our staff receive regular training on the risks, signs, and potential impacts of modern slavery and human trafficking. This training empowers our employees to confidently identify and report concerns that may arise within our supply chains or within the workplace. We are dedicated to fostering a culture of openness, vigilance, and ethical responsibility throughout our organisation.

Reporting Channels

To strengthen our approach, we encourage all employees and stakeholders to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery or human trafficking. Florist South Wimbledon provides clear internal reporting channels, ensuring that all concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly. We guarantee that anyone raising a concern in good faith will not face discrimination or retaliation. All reports are treated confidentially, and appropriate action will be taken in line with our commitment to a transparent and ethical workplace.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to regularly reviewing and updating this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated policies to ensure their ongoing effectiveness. Our procedures and supplier relationships are reviewed annually, and we remain proactive in identifying opportunities for improvement. Where necessary, we will enhance our training, reporting processes, and supplier standards to further safeguard against modern slavery and uphold our ethical values.

As a florist deeply rooted in the South Wimbledon community, we understand that our responsibilities go beyond delivering beautiful floral arrangements. Acting with integrity and ethical awareness is integral to who we are—trusted by local households and businesses alike. This statement demonstrates our commitment to preventing modern slavery, serving our community with both quality and care, and maintaining the trust placed in us by every client.
