At Flowers Kings Langley, we pride ourselves on being a trusted florist, serving households and businesses throughout Kings Langley with integrity and care. As part of our wider social responsibility, we are committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and throughout our supply chain. This statement outlines the measures we have in place to identify, prevent, and address risks related to modern slavery.
Flowers Kings Langley operates a strict zero tolerance policy for modern slavery and human trafficking. We are unwavering in our stance that any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation is unacceptable. Any breaches leading to suspicion or discovery of modern slavery within our operations or supplier chains will be met with immediate investigation and decisive action, including termination of contracts and reporting to relevant authorities.
As a retailer dependent on a diverse supplier network, we recognise the importance of rigorous supplier due diligence. We require that all new and existing suppliers comply with relevant laws regarding modern slavery and ethical labour practices. Suppliers are assessed on their ethical standards as part of our selection process and are expected to provide evidence of compliance, such as ethical sourcing statements, certificates, or audit results. We also reserve the right to conduct spot checks and regular reviews of supplier practices to ensure ongoing compliance.
Our staff play a vital role in upholding our standards and ensuring a vigilant approach to preventing modern slavery. We provide regular training sessions designed to raise awareness of the signs of modern slavery, the importance of ethical sourcing, and the procedures for reporting concerns. This training is delivered to all new recruits as part of their induction and refreshed for all staff at least annually, reinforcing our shared commitment to an exploitation-free supply chain and workplace.
To support early identification and intervention, we maintain clear and confidential channels through which staff can report suspected incidents of modern slavery or exploitative practices. Staff are encouraged to speak up if they have any concerns, and we are committed to protecting whistleblowers from any form of retaliation. Concerns raised are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with strict confidentiality to ensure the safety of all involved.
This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to annual review to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness. We regularly assess our policies, risk areas, and the impact of our actions in light of new developments in law, industry standards, and ethical expectations. Improvements and updates are communicated to our staff and suppliers, ensuring everyone is informed and engaged with our anti-slavery efforts.
By publicly stating our approach, Flowers Kings Langley underscores its responsibility as a trusted local florist serving the Kings Langley community. We believe in building supply chains and workplaces characterised by fairness, respect, and transparency. Our ongoing vigilance against modern slavery reflects not only our legal obligations but also our commitment to local households and businesses who place their trust in us.
