At Florist South Kensington, we are dedicated to conducting our business with the utmost integrity and social responsibility. As a trusted local florist serving the households and businesses of South Kensington, our commitment extends beyond providing exceptional floral arrangements – it includes ensuring that our entire supply chain is free from modern slavery and human trafficking.
Florist South Kensington maintains a zero tolerance policy regarding all forms of modern slavery. We strictly prohibit any involvement in forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, or any practice that threatens the dignity and rights of individuals. We are resolute in ensuring that our workplace, as well as the operations of any individuals or organisations we engage with, reflect this commitment to ethical standards.
We understand that risk of modern slavery can exist across complex supply chains. Prior to entering business relationships, we conduct thorough due diligence on all potential suppliers. This includes assessing their policies, practices, and working conditions to ensure alignment with our ethical values. Suppliers are required to disclose their own modern slavery policies and, where necessary, provide evidence of compliance with local and international anti-slavery legislation. Ongoing monitoring of suppliers forms part of our commitment to prevent any violations within our procurement process.
Raising awareness and educating our staff is central to our modern slavery prevention efforts. We provide regular training sessions for all employees, helping them understand what modern slavery is, how to recognize the signs, and what actions to take if they suspect unethical practices. This proactive approach ensures that our team is equipped to uphold our zero tolerance policy in every aspect of our operations.
Florist South Kensington encourages a culture of transparency and vigilance. We have established clear reporting channels so that staff, customers, and suppliers can freely and confidentially report any concerns regarding suspected modern slavery or unethical practices. All reports are treated with seriousness and confidentiality, and appropriate actions are initiated promptly following an investigation.
We are committed to continuous improvement. Our modern slavery policies and practices are reviewed and updated annually to ensure their effectiveness and relevance. This annual review includes evaluating risk assessments, supplier performance, internal procedures, and staff training outcomes. Lessons learned are incorporated into updated practices to ensure ongoing commitment to eradicating modern slavery from every facet of our business.
We recognise our responsibility not just as a business, but as a member of the South Kensington community. Our customers—local households and businesses—trust us to uphold ethical standards in all we do. This Modern Slavery Statement affirms that responsibility, reinforcing our ongoing dedication to honesty, respect, and dignity for all people. We remain vigilant in protecting human rights, and we encourage all those we work with to join us in this mission.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Florist South Kensington’s modern slavery statement for the current financial year.
