Uxbridge Florist is dedicated to ethical business practices and upholding the highest standards of integrity. As a leading florist serving the households and businesses in Uxbridge, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our operations. This statement outlines our commitment to combat these issues and the steps we take to ensure ethical conduct throughout our supply chain.
We have a clear and robust zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Uxbridge Florist prohibits the use of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, and we strongly oppose child exploitation, servitude, and any practices that undermine dignity and human rights. Our policy applies to all our employees, suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Non-compliance is never accepted and can lead to the immediate discontinuation of business relationships.
As a trusted member of the Uxbridge business community, we understand the importance of working only with suppliers who share our values. Uxbridge Florist conducts due diligence before establishing supplier relationships, ensuring that all partners operate according to legal requirements and ethical standards. Our due diligence process includes risk assessments, supplier questionnaires, and, where necessary, direct conversations about workplace practices. We expect all our suppliers to have procedures in place to combat modern slavery and to provide evidence of compliance upon request.
Our commitment extends to ensuring that our team is fully informed and equipped to recognise indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. Uxbridge Florist provides training for all staff members—including managers, sales staff, and delivery personnel—on the nature of modern slavery, how to identify warning signs, and the steps to take should any concerns arise. This education equips every team member to act ethically and responsibly, helping us maintain an ethical workplace both inside our premises and when representing Uxbridge Florist in the community.
We actively encourage openness and accountability by providing clear channels for staff, suppliers, and stakeholders to report suspicions or incidents of modern slavery. Any concerns raised are treated with full confidentiality and investigated thoroughly, in line with our company procedures. Uxbridge Florist is committed to taking swift and appropriate action to address any such concerns, ensuring that the safety and wellbeing of individuals is always put first.
Each year, Uxbridge Florist conducts a comprehensive review of our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships to ensure our approach remains robust and effective. We continually seek improvements to strengthen our stance against modern slavery, adapting our processes in line with best practices and evolving legislation. This annual review also helps us to reinforce our zero tolerance policy and renew our commitment to responsible business operations.
At Uxbridge Florist, we believe that upholding human rights and promoting ethical standards is central to being a trusted floral provider in our town. Our customers, whether they are families, businesses, or event organisers, rely on us not only for quality floral services but also for our unwavering sense of responsibility. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our ongoing pledge to act with integrity and care for both people and our local community.
