Stockwell Flowers is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Stockwell, we recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and promote fair labour practices. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our ongoing actions to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
We have a clear zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. This policy applies to our direct operations and guides our interactions with suppliers, partners, and contractors. Any breaches of this policy are considered serious and may result in the termination of business relationships or disciplinary action.
Stockwell Flowers understands that risks of modern slavery can be present throughout supply chains. The majority of our flowers and sundries are sourced from reputable suppliers who are required to comply with our ethical standards. We conduct due diligence by seeking information from suppliers regarding their own anti-slavery efforts and adherence to relevant laws and codes of conduct. New suppliers are carefully assessed and must demonstrate their commitment to responsible labour practices before any partnership is established.
We expect all our suppliers to uphold our values and to take action to detect and eliminate modern slavery in their own operations. Regular reviews of supplier relationships form part of our ongoing risk management practices to ensure continued compliance.
Our team is our strength, and we are dedicated to equipping our staff with the knowledge and tools they need to help prevent and identify any signs of modern slavery. We provide training on modern slavery awareness which covers how to recognise red flags, the importance of ethical sourcing, and our internal reporting procedures. This strengthens our collective ability to maintain fair and safe workplaces throughout our business and wider supply chains.
Stockwell Flowers encourages an open culture where staff, suppliers, and members of the public can report concerns related to modern slavery without fear of retaliation. We have clear internal channels for escalating suspicions or evidence of unethical practices. All concerns are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and appropriate action is taken where necessary. We ensure confidentiality and protection for anyone raising genuine concerns in good faith.
We are committed to reviewing this Modern Slavery Statement annually and updating our approach in line with evolving best practices and regulatory requirements. This includes evaluating the effectiveness of our policies, supplier engagement, staff training, and reporting mechanisms. Feedback is actively sought from staff and stakeholders to help drive improvements year on year.
Our commitment to tackling modern slavery reflects the trust our customers place in us as a valued Stockwell florist. We recognise our duty both as an employer and as a business that plays an active role in the local community. Stockwell Flowers will continue to take proactive steps to protect the rights and well-being of every individual throughout our operations, supply chains, and the communities we serve.
