Flowers Bracknell Forest is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chains. As a trusted Bracknell Forest florist serving both households and local businesses, we uphold the highest ethical standards and recognise our responsibility to take a proactive stance against any form of slavery or exploitation.
We have a clear zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery. This applies to all aspects of our operations and procurement activities. We do not condone or engage in any practices that could be construed as human trafficking or forced labour. All staff, contractors, and suppliers are made aware of our expectations and are required to adhere to our strict ethics and compliance standards at all times.
We recognise that our commitment against slavery must extend to those we work with. We operate a comprehensive due diligence process for selecting and reviewing suppliers. Our team assesses prospective and existing suppliers through questionnaires, interviews, and, where appropriate, requesting supporting documentation. We expect all suppliers to operate fair working conditions, comply with applicable modern slavery laws, and agree to regular review of their practices. Any suppliers found to violate these expectations face immediate suspension of business relationships.
To support our zero tolerance approach, we are dedicated to providing effective staff training. All employees, from new starters to experienced team members, receive training on recognising signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. Training is updated annually to reflect changes in legislation and emerging risks. By fostering a culture of vigilance, we empower our staff to contribute to the prevention of exploitation both within the workplace and throughout the supply chain.
Flowers Bracknell Forest encourages all staff, suppliers, customers, and members of the public to raise concerns about potential modern slavery issues. We maintain clear and confidential reporting channels so that concerns can be reported without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated with urgency and sensitivity, and are thoroughly investigated with remedial action taken as appropriate to prevent future incidents.
To ensure this statement remains relevant and effective, we review our policies, procedures, and supply chains annually. Our management team assesses the results of audits and feedback from staff and suppliers. Where necessary, improvements are implemented to strengthen our approach. This ongoing review process helps us stay one step ahead of emerging risks and maintain the trust of the communities we serve.
Serving households and businesses across Bracknell Forest, we understand the importance of integrity in every aspect of our operations. Our Modern Slavery Statement is an essential part of our wider commitment to social responsibility. We pledge to uphold these standards not only because it is a legal obligation, but because it is the right thing to do for our community, our customers, and our staff.
Flowers Bracknell Forest will continue working towards the eradication of modern slavery within our business and beyond. Through ongoing diligence, collaboration, and transparency, we aim to create a positive impact in Bracknell Forest and set a benchmark for ethical practices in the local florist industry.
