Flowers Chessington is devoted to ensuring our business, as well as our supply chains, remain free from all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted florist proudly serving households and businesses in Chessington and the surrounding community, we understand the weight of our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards. We are unwavering in our zero tolerance approach to slavery, servitude, forced labour, and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals in any part of our operations or partnerships.
Our dedication to combating modern slavery is embedded in our daily operations and wider business philosophy. Flowers Chessington maintains a clear and strict zero tolerance policy, and we expect the same commitment from all those we work with — including suppliers, contractors, and business partners. We do not accept any form of modern slavery or human trafficking, and any breach of this policy can result in immediate cessation of business relationships.
As part of our commitment, we conduct thorough risk assessments and due diligence on our suppliers to ensure they uphold our ethical standards. This process includes reviewing supplier policies, investigating employee conditions, and where appropriate, requesting documentation or conducting on-site checks. We seek assurances from all partners that they do not engage in or support any activities linked to modern slavery. Suppliers found in breach of our standards are subject to prompt investigation and potential termination of contracts.
All Flowers Chessington team members receive relevant information and ongoing training to enable them to recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand their role in upholding our high ethical standards. Our staff are made aware of the pervasiveness of modern slavery in the floral and retail supply chains, and they are encouraged to remain vigilant in day-to-day operations. Regular briefings and updates ensure everyone remains informed about changes in legislation, best practices, and our internal procedures.
We offer secure and confidential reporting channels for all staff and business partners to raise any concerns related to modern slavery. Reports are taken seriously and handled with care, and no one should fear retaliation for coming forward. Any report triggers a thorough internal investigation and, where necessary, collaboration with the appropriate authorities to take action. By ensuring safe routes to report malpractice, we uphold our commitment to transparency and accountability.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually and updated as necessary to reflect our evolving understanding of the risks facing our industry. We use each review to reassess supplier practices, evaluate the effectiveness of our policies and training, and consider further improvements to protect vulnerable people. Feedback from staff and the broader community is vital in shaping our ongoing commitments.
At Flowers Chessington, we believe that protecting against modern slavery is not just a legal obligation, but a moral duty, especially as a respected business in the heart of the community. Our stance on modern slavery underscores our promise to deliver not only beautiful floral arrangements but also peace of mind for customers who expect ethical integrity from their local florist.
