Flowers Bracknell is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Bracknell and the surrounding areas, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines our unwavering approach to eliminating these risks and promoting a culture of respect and accountability.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. Modern slavery, in any manifestation, is incompatible with our values and business practices. Everyone at Flowers Bracknell is required to understand and uphold this commitment, ensuring that our activities in the floral industry foster fairness, dignity, and respect.
As part of our proactive approach, we carry out robust due diligence when selecting and reviewing our suppliers. We expect all our suppliers, from flower growers to packaging providers, to share our ethical stance and comply fully with relevant laws and regulations regarding labour rights. Our supplier code of conduct makes explicit our expectations regarding fair treatment, prevention of forced labour, and prohibition of exploitative practices. Where necessary, we request documented evidence of compliance and reserve the right to audit suppliers as part of our ongoing vigilance.
We believe education and open communication are vital in preventing modern slavery. All Flowers Bracknell team members receive guidance and training on how to recognise risks and signs related to modern slavery and human trafficking, including the indicators to look out for and the steps to take in the event of concerns. Training is refreshed regularly so that staff remain confident in their knowledge and responsibilities.
Flowers Bracknell supports and encourages staff, suppliers, and the wider community to raise any concerns regarding modern slavery. We have clear channels in place for reporting potential issues or suspicions confidentially. All concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly, with appropriate measures taken where necessary. We do not tolerate reprisals against anyone who raises concerns in good faith.
We are committed to the ongoing review and improvement of our procedures and policies in relation to modern slavery. This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to ensure our approach remains rigorous and responsive to emerging risks or changes within our industry. We welcome feedback and input from our stakeholders as part of this process.
Being a local business, Flowers Bracknell recognises our profound responsibility to protect those who contribute to our success and serve the community’s trust. We remain vigilant and proactive in our actions to ensure that the flowers and services we provide are rooted in ethical principles, keeping local households and businesses informed and protected from the risks of modern slavery and exploitation.
