At Flowers Bowes Park, we recognise our responsibility to uphold and promote ethical practices within our business and supply chains. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Bowes Park, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and transparency in all our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we continually take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and across our supply networks.
We have a clear zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, and any exploitation of workers. No circumstance or level of demand will ever justify a breach of these fundamental rights. We expect the same unwavering commitment from all our employees, suppliers, and business partners without exception.
Flowers Bowes Park takes diligent measures to ensure our supply chains are free from any form of modern slavery. We conduct regular supplier assessments, focusing on their employment practices, working conditions, and compliance with legal and ethical standards. Where possible, we source directly from reputable, certified growers and wholesalers who demonstrate clarity and accountability regarding their labour policies. Contractual agreements with our suppliers clearly stipulate our expectations regarding modern slavery, and we reserve the right to end any relationship where breaches are identified.
Education is pivotal in our efforts to prevent modern slavery. We provide ongoing training for all members of staff to raise awareness about the risks of modern slavery, highlight indicators of exploitation, and reinforce our reporting procedures. This training empowers our team not only to adhere to legal requirements but also to contribute actively to promoting fair, humane conditions throughout our supply chains and daily operations.
Flowers Bowes Park is committed to fostering an environment in which concerns related to modern slavery can be raised without fear of retaliation. We have robust internal reporting channels such as clear escalation procedures through our management structures. Any employee, supplier, or third party who suspects any form of exploitation or unethical behaviour is encouraged to report their concerns in confidence. All reports are investigated promptly and thoroughly, and appropriate action will be taken as required.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies are subject to annual review to ensure they remain effective and up to date with evolving legislation and best practice. We regularly evaluate our processes, supplier relationships, and staff training modules to identify new risks, improve our responses, and strengthen our safeguards against modern slavery and human trafficking.
As a Bowes Park florist, we take pride in the trust that local households and businesses place in us. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is a core part of how we conduct business, reflecting our dedication to ethical standards and the wellbeing of both our customers and everyone in our supply chains. We believe that transparency, vigilance, and ongoing improvement are the foundations of responsible business practice.
