At Flowers Grays, we have a clear and unwavering policy of zero tolerance towards modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business operations. We recognise the profound responsibility we hold as a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Grays and the wider community. Our commitment is to uphold the highest ethical standards, safeguard human rights, and ensure that everyone who is part of our business and supply chain is treated with dignity and respect.
Flowers Grays is dedicated to sourcing all products, including flowers and sundries, in a manner that actively prevents modern slavery and exploitation. We require our suppliers to comply with all applicable UK anti-slavery laws and operate in line with our values on human rights and labour practices. As part of our supplier onboarding process, we conduct comprehensive due diligence to assess risks related to modern slavery. We seek evidence of their ethical working practices, fair employment conditions, and transparency throughout their own supply chains. If any concerns arise, we respond immediately and take the necessary steps, which may result in review or termination of the business relationship if issues are not resolved.
To support our zero tolerance stance, all Flowers Grays staff members receive training to understand the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as our policies and reporting procedures. This training fosters a culture where everyone feels empowered and obligated to act if they suspect unethical behaviour, either internally or within our supply chain. Our commitment extends to both permanent and seasonal staff, including delivery drivers, florists, and support personnel, ensuring universal understanding of our expectations and responsibilities.
We have established clear, confidential channels for staff, suppliers, and the public to raise any concerns related to modern slavery. Reports are treated with the utmost seriousness, thoroughly investigated, and acted upon promptly. There is a strict non-retaliation policy for anyone reporting genuinely held concerns in good faith. Flowers Grays is dedicated to taking swift action should any issue be identified, supporting those affected, and cooperating fully with relevant authorities where necessary.
Our approach to preventing modern slavery is reviewed annually or as required in light of evolving legislation, guidance, and best practice. With each review, we deepen our understanding of emerging risks within our sector and supply chain, updating our policies and procedures as necessary. We are committed to continuous improvement, learning from incidents in our own business as well as across the wider floral industry, to ensure we remain vigilant and effective in our efforts to combat modern slavery.
This statement reflects not only our legal obligations but also our firm belief in acting responsibly within our local community. As Grays’ trusted florist, we are proud to champion ethical business practices and foster an environment where fairness, safety, and respect underpin every aspect of our services to households and businesses. Flowers Grays affirms our enduring resolve to remain transparent, proactive, and a force for good throughout our operations and partnerships.
