At Fulham Flowers, we are dedicated to conducting our business with honesty, transparency and integrity. As a trusted florist serving both local households and businesses in the Fulham area, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards. Modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and child labour, is a serious global issue. We are committed to taking all possible measures to ensure that modern slavery is not present anywhere within our business or our supply chains.
Fulham Flowers has a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We fundamentally oppose any form of slavery or exploitation and work proactively to identify and mitigate risks of such practices within our operations and those of our partners. All employees, partners, and suppliers are expected to uphold these principles without exception.
We recognise that our supply chain plays a critical role in fulfilling our commitment against modern slavery. Fulham Flowers undertakes thorough due diligence when selecting suppliers, especially those providing flowers, plants, and ancillary products. This includes evaluating suppliers’ policies and practices, seeking assurances that their operations are free from slavery and human trafficking, and prioritising partnerships with those who share our ethical standards.
We require our key suppliers to agree to our ethical sourcing terms and regularly review their compliance as part of ongoing supplier management. Where concerns are raised regarding a supplier’s adherence to these values, we seek prompt clarification and remedial action. We reserve the right to end relationships with any supplier found to be involved in or complicit with modern slavery practices.
Our team members are central to maintaining the integrity of Fulham Flowers. We provide regular training on recognising signs of modern slavery and the steps to take should concerns arise. Staff are encouraged to remain vigilant and empowered to challenge inappropriate practices both within our business and among our partners. Ongoing education continues to be a key priority in reinforcing our zero tolerance approach to modern slavery.
We prioritise creating a culture where staff and stakeholders feel safe to raise concerns about potential or actual instances of modern slavery. We have established confidential reporting channels through which employees, suppliers, and others can bring issues or suspicions to our attention without fear of retaliation or negative consequence. Reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and, where necessary, responded to with a robust and transparent process.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and relevance in light of evolving best practices and legislation. We strive to continually improve our policies and procedures, engaging with our partners, staff, and the wider community to enhance our approach. Any significant changes or learnings gained during the year will be reflected in future statements.
Fulham Flowers proudly serves the households and businesses of Fulham, and we understand the trust our community places in us. By openly committing to tackling modern slavery, we underline our dedication to ethical business practices. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to act as a positive force in our community and maintain the confidence of those we serve.
