At Flowers Cheshunt, we are fully committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical practice across all aspects of our business. As a longstanding and trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout the Cheshunt area, we recognise our responsibility in ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our organisation or supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we have taken—and continue to take—to prevent modern slavery both within our business and in our sourcing practices.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy with regard to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. This policy applies to all areas of our business, including our staff, partners, and the suppliers upon whom we rely for the flowers and products we deliver to our valued customers. Any evidence or suspicion of modern slavery is treated with utmost seriousness and acted upon immediately.
The quality of our products depends not just on the flowers themselves, but also on the integrity of our supply chain. We conduct due diligence on all existing and new suppliers, requiring them to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation. We seek transparency on employment practices and expect our suppliers to fully adhere to our standards on ethical labour. If a supplier is found to contravene these standards, we reserve the right to terminate any relationship with immediate effect.
Our employees are central to the success of our commitment to modern slavery prevention. All staff receive training designed to raise awareness of modern slavery risks, particularly those who work with suppliers or manage procurement. We encourage our team members to remain vigilant and informed, and we update training regularly to reflect current laws and best practices.
We maintain robust internal reporting channels to ensure that anyone—whether staff, suppliers, or members of the public—can share concerns about possible instances of modern slavery safely and confidentially. Allegations or suspicions are investigated thoroughly and the appropriate action is taken in line with our zero tolerance approach. Our whistleblowing procedures are communicated to all employees and are integral to our safeguarding strategy.
We carry out an annual review of our policies, procedures, and supply chain partners to ensure ongoing compliance with anti-slavery legislation and reflect changes in industry standards. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of the steps we have taken, update relevant documents and training, and strive to improve our practices further still.
As a local florist trusted by the Cheshunt community, we understand that our actions reflect not only on our reputation, but also on the broader community values we share with our customers. We are dedicated to maintaining transparency and upholding the highest ethical standards, both for our customers and the people behind each bouquet we create.
This Modern Slavery Statement is made available to all staff, suppliers, and the wider public. It affirms our enduring commitment to preventing exploitation and ensuring a safe and fair environment, both locally and throughout our supply chains.
