At Flowers Tulse Hill, we recognise the profound importance of ethical business practices in today’s world. As a trusted florist dedicated to serving households and businesses within Tulse Hill and surrounding areas, we take our responsibilities seriously and are committed to playing our part in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking.
We operate under a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and all forms of human trafficking in our operations and wider supply chain. We are unequivocal in our stance: any breach of these standards is unacceptable. We proactively act to ensure that all people connected with our work are treated with dignity and respect, free from coercion, exploitation, or abuse.
As part of our commitment, due diligence is conducted during the procurement and assessment of all suppliers. We partner only with reputable growers and wholesalers who uphold ethical labour practices. All suppliers are assessed for compliance with modern slavery legislation and required to confirm the absence of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour in their workforces. Where possible, we seek written commitments acknowledging their adherence to these human rights standards. We remain vigilant, especially when sourcing from regions or industries acknowledged as higher risk.
All employees, from our florists to delivery drivers and administrative team, receive training on identifying and reporting signs of modern slavery. Our training ensures the team understands the different forms that exploitation can take, including less visible forms such as servitude or deceptive recruitment practices. Regular updates are provided so that everyone at Flowers Tulse Hill recognises not just the signs to look for, but also their responsibility to protect vulnerable people.
At Flowers Tulse Hill, we encourage transparency, open dialogue, and accountability at all levels. Any concerns or suspicions relating to modern slavery can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. We have clear internal reporting channels and encourage staff and suppliers to come forward should they notice any potential risks or issues. All reports are treated seriously and investigated in line with our company policy and relevant legislation.
We understand that combating modern slavery requires ongoing vigilance. Our policies, supplier contracts, staff procedures, and training are reviewed annually to ensure that they remain robust and effective. Any updates to legislation or best practices are promptly adopted. We also use feedback from staff and external stakeholders to help us improve our approach each year, further strengthening our commitment to these values.
Flowers Tulse Hill recognises its responsibility not just as a business, but as a trusted presence in the local community. We understand that upholding ethical standards is part of earning and keeping your trust, whether you are a local family, business, or valued team member. Through these continued efforts, we reaffirm our pledge to conduct our business ethically, fairly, and with care for the well-being of all individuals.
