At Flowers Brixton, we are dedicated to upholding human rights and opposing all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and child labour. As a trusted florist serving the Brixton community, we recognise the role we play in setting the highest standards for ethical conduct in all aspects of our business. This statement outlines the steps we are taking to identify, prevent, and respond to modern slavery risks within our operations and supply chains.
Flowers Brixton maintains a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our business will not knowingly engage with, support, or enable any parties found to be in breach of anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking legislation. This applies to our direct operations, our supply chain partners, and all contractors we work with. Our ethical code is embedded in our company values and we expect all that work with us to share this unwavering commitment.
We conduct rigorous due diligence when engaging with suppliers. Before establishing any new supply relationship, we assess the potential partner’s ethical and labour practices. We request information and assurances regarding their compliance with anti-slavery laws and their efforts to uphold fair working conditions. Regular supplier reviews are conducted to ensure continued compliance. Should any concerns or evidence of modern slavery arise, our policy mandates immediate investigation and, if necessary, termination of the business relationship.
Our staff are integral to maintaining the integrity of our supply chain. All employees at Flowers Brixton receive training designed to help them recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand the appropriate response procedures. This training is tailored to all areas of our operations and is refreshed annually to reflect the latest guidance and legislation. Training instills not only a knowledge of the law, but also a personal commitment to supporting the dignity and rights of every individual involved in our business.
We actively encourage our staff, suppliers, customers, and the wider community to report any concerns about modern slavery connected to Flowers Brixton. Clear and confidential reporting channels are in place to allow individuals to voice suspicions or provide information safely and without fear of reprisal. All reports are treated seriously and investigated thoroughly by senior management. We commit to taking swift and decisive action if any breaches of anti-slavery policy are identified.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with best practice and legal requirements. During the review, we assess the effectiveness of current measures, track emerging risks, and identify opportunities for improvement. Any changes are communicated to our staff and supply partners so that our standards remain well understood and consistently applied throughout the business.
Being a florist at the heart of Brixton serving local households and businesses, Flowers Brixton is strongly committed to reflecting and championing the values of our community. We view our anti-slavery activities as a core aspect of our responsibility as both a trusted service provider and an employer. We are determined to ensure that every flower we source and every arrangement we create is made in accordance with the highest ethical and human rights standards.
