Florist Richmond is fully committed to operating responsibly, ethically, and transparently, and we maintain a zero tolerance stance on all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We recognise the profound impact these crimes have on individuals, families, and communities. As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in Richmond, we acknowledge our responsibility to prevent exploitative practices in every aspect of our operations and supply chains.
We expect all our suppliers and business partners to uphold the same values as we do. Florist Richmond conducts rigorous due diligence before engaging with new suppliers. This process includes reviewing suppliers’ own modern slavery statements, ethical standards, and labour practices wherever possible. For existing suppliers, we carry out ongoing checks to ensure their continued compliance. We make it clear that any partnership is contingent on adopting fair working conditions, legal employment practices, and respect for human rights.
If we identify any supplier falling short of our expectations or failing to address legitimate concerns, we will engage with them to rectify the issue. Persistent failure to comply will result in the termination of the business relationship. Our ongoing commitment to high ethical standards extends throughout every link in our supply chain, from flower growers and distributers to packaging and logistics partners.
All members of the Florist Richmond team are trained to understand the risks of modern slavery, both within our business and in the wider floral industry. Training covers the types of exploitation, signs to spot, and the steps to take if concerns arise. By embedding this awareness into our culture, we empower our staff to act responsibly and uphold our company values in all daily operations. Refresher training is provided regularly to maintain a high level of awareness and vigilance.
We encourage all staff, suppliers, and even customers to raise any suspicions or concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical practices. A clear and confidential internal reporting process is in place, where any concerns are treated seriously and investigated promptly. Florist Richmond actively fosters an environment in which individuals feel secure about speaking up, free from fear of retaliation or jeopardising their position. The integrity of our reporting channels underlines our commitment to stamping out any form of exploitation.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our wider policies are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and up to date with current legislation and best practices. We continually seek feedback from staff and review industry developments to help refine our procedures. Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery is steadfast, and we incorporate new knowledge to improve our approaches year after year.
As a longstanding and trusted florist in Richmond, serving a diverse range of local households and businesses, Florist Richmond recognises our role in supporting a safe, fair, and ethical community. Delivering on our responsibilities goes beyond beautiful flowers – it means ensuring all aspects of our business and supply chain are free from the stain of modern slavery. We thank our staff, suppliers, and valued customers for supporting our stand against exploitation, and we reaffirm our ongoing commitment to making a positive difference with every bouquet.
