At Twickenham Florist, we take our ethical responsibilities seriously and are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of integrity across all aspects of our business. Serving the community of Twickenham, we recognise the pivotal role we play as a trusted provider of floral services to households and businesses alike. As such, we are committed to ensuring there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our organisation or supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the actions we take to prevent, detect, and address these serious issues.
Modern slavery is a grave violation of fundamental human rights and includes practices such as forced labour, human trafficking, and other exploitative conduct. Twickenham Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in any form. No employee, supplier, or partner is permitted to condone, support, or be complicit in any act of modern slavery. We will take immediate and decisive action if any violation is identified.
We are mindful that risk may exist within supply chains, particularly where flowers and materials are sourced from outside the UK. To mitigate this, we conduct thorough due diligence procedures on all our suppliers. This includes examining supplier policies, seeking documented commitments to ethical practices, and, where necessary, requesting evidence of compliance with modern slavery laws and standards. We only work with suppliers who uphold our values and demonstrate ongoing efforts to combat modern slavery within their operations.
All members of staff at Twickenham Florist receive information and training about the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking. Through regular awareness sessions, employees learn to recognise possible signs of exploitation and understand their responsibilities should concerns arise. By embedding this knowledge into our culture, we ensure our team is equipped to identify and address any risks quickly and effectively, maintaining our promise to customers and the wider community.
We encourage a culture of openness and vigilance so that any issues related to modern slavery can be reported easily and in confidence. Staff members are supported to voice concerns, assured that their reports will be taken seriously and acted upon promptly. All reports of suspected wrongdoing are investigated thoroughly. We expect the same level of transparency and accountability from our suppliers and business partners.
Twickenham Florist is dedicated to the continuous review of our policies and practices related to modern slavery. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our measures, including supplier checks, staff training, and incident reporting. We strive for continuous improvement and take into account feedback from staff, customers, and other stakeholders to strengthen our approach. This annual review forms an integral part of our broader commitment to ethical business conduct.
As a florist cherished by local households and businesses in Twickenham, we believe it is our duty to lead by example and inspire trust throughout the community. Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects not just our legal obligations, but our ongoing responsibility to respect the dignity and rights of all individuals connected with our business. We remain steadfast in our efforts to prevent modern slavery, ensure transparency, and uphold justice and fairness in everything we do.
