At Flowers Crawley, we recognise our responsibility to uphold ethical standards and protect human rights across our business operations and supply chains. As a well-established florist serving the households and businesses of Crawley, we are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our work. This statement outlines the steps we take to ensure that slavery and human trafficking do not take place within our organisation or those of our suppliers.
Flowers Crawley operates with a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We expect the same high standards from all those with whom we do business, including suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any identified or suspected form of slavery or human trafficking within our business or supply chain will result in immediate review and, where necessary, termination of the relationship and reporting to relevant authorities.
To ensure our supply chain reflects our commitment to combating modern slavery, Flowers Crawley conducts due diligence on all prospective suppliers. This includes clearly outlining our expectations regarding ethical conduct in our procurement process, requesting information on their labour practices, and ensuring that suppliers themselves adhere to anti-slavery laws and practices. Where possible, we select suppliers who demonstrate transparency and commitment to preventing exploitation, and we reserve the right to audit suppliers should concerns arise.
We believe that awareness and vigilance are vital. Flowers Crawley provides training to staff on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding what constitutes exploitation. This training also includes guidance on how to report and respond to concerns safely and appropriately. By equipping our employees with the knowledge and confidence to identify issues, we foster an organisational culture that supports the highest standards of ethical behaviour.
An open and honest environment is encouraged at Flowers Crawley. All employees, suppliers, and customers are urged to report any concerns related to slavery or human trafficking. Internal procedures exist to ensure that all concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled appropriately, with confidentiality respected at all times. No one who raises a concern in good faith will suffer any detriment as a result of doing so.
Flowers Crawley is committed to ongoing review and improvement of our policies and practices. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to keep pace with regulations, best practices, and our own operational changes. We measure effectiveness by evaluating reported incidents, maintaining regular dialogue with suppliers, and seeking employee feedback on our safeguarding measures.
As a trusted local florist, Flowers Crawley is proud to provide meaningful work and ethical services to the Crawley community. We understand the importance of acting responsibly not only for our own staff and customers, but also for the broader society of which we are a part. Through these measures, we strive to maintain the confidence placed in us by local households, businesses, and all those we serve.
