Modern Slavery Statement from Flowers White City

Our Zero Tolerance Approach

Flowers White City is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards across all aspects of our operations. We have a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. As a trusted florist in White City serving both households and local businesses, we recognise the vital role we play in ensuring that all individuals connected to our organisation are respected and protected.

Supplier Due Diligence

We understand that our responsibilities extend to the people who work across our supply chain. Flowers White City carefully selects suppliers and partners who share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. We conduct due diligence checks that include reviewing supplier policies, contracts, and working conditions. All new and existing suppliers are required to confirm they comply with relevant laws and regulations, including those relating to labour rights and human trafficking. We will immediately discontinue relationships with any suppliers found to be violating our standards.

Staff Training and Awareness

The foundation of our efforts lies in education. All Flowers White City staff members, from florists to delivery drivers, undergo training to identify signs of modern slavery and to understand the methods available for reporting concerns. Regular workshops and updated learning materials ensure that our team remains aware and invested in upholding our policies. We promote a culture of vigilance and responsibility throughout our business, empowering every staff member to act if they suspect exploitation or unethical practices.

Reporting Channels

We believe in providing a safe and supportive environment where concerns can be raised in confidence, without fear of retaliation. Our procedures facilitate the prompt reporting of any suspicions or evidence related to modern slavery. Staff, suppliers, or customers can communicate concerns directly to our management team through secure confidential channels. Every report is taken seriously, investigated with thoroughness, and followed up in accordance with our internal processes and legal obligations.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Flowers White City reviews this Modern Slavery Statement annually to ensure it remains effective and reflects best practice. We monitor emerging risks, legislative changes, and feedback from staff or stakeholders to continuously strengthen our approach. Our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships are regularly reviewed and improved where needed, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to integrity and ethical conduct.

Our Responsibility to the White City Community

As a longstanding florist supporting White City households and businesses, we are not only committed to beautiful flowers, but to ethical business practices that value human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement demonstrates how seriously we take our responsibilities, both to our customers and to every individual in our supply chain. We pledge to remain vigilant, proactive, and transparent in our efforts to prevent modern slavery today and in the future.
