Florist Teddington is built on values of trust, integrity, and care. As a responsible and trusted provider of floral services to households and businesses across Teddington, we are committed to preventing any form of modern slavery or human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We understand our duty to act ethically in all matters and to take clear steps to ensure that our business and those we work with uphold the highest standards of human rights.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and any exploitation of individuals. Florist Teddington operates under the principle that all people deserve freedom and dignity. This policy applies to all areas of our business, including our own staff and everyone working within our supply chain, whether directly or indirectly. We regularly remind all stakeholders of our uncompromising stance on these critical issues.
Our supply chain is an essential part of our business, encompassing both local and international partners. We carry out due diligence checks when onboarding new suppliers and partners, ensuring they understand and share our ethical values and zero tolerance for modern slavery. In practice, this includes requesting evidence of modern slavery policies and procedures, evaluating supplier practices, and reserving the right to audit compliance. Should any evidence of unlawful or unethical practices come to our attention, we act swiftly to address concerns and, where necessary, terminate business relationships.
To embed a culture of vigilance, every member of the Florist Teddington team receives regular training on recognising modern slavery, understanding their responsibilities, and reporting concerns. We make sure that all staff are aware of the forms modern slavery can take and encourage them to be alert to possible signs, both in our own workplace and in those of our suppliers. This ongoing training is part of our commitment to empower all staff to contribute to a safe and ethical working environment.
We maintain clear reporting channels to ensure any concerns about modern slavery can be raised and addressed without fear of retaliation. Staff, suppliers, and members of the community are encouraged to speak up if they suspect any unethical behaviour. All reports are treated in confidence, assessed thoroughly, and necessary action is taken with urgency and transparency. We are continually working to strengthen these reporting mechanisms and foster an open environment where issues can be surfaced and addressed promptly.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect new legislation, operational changes, or fresh insights. We regularly assess the effectiveness of our policies and procedures, including supply chain monitoring, staff training, and reporting structures. Our annual review helps us identify areas for further improvement and ensures ongoing alignment with the best practices in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.
Florist Teddington is proud to be a trusted part of the Teddington community. We recognise that our responsibility extends beyond delivering beautiful flowers. By standing firmly against modern slavery, we uphold the values our customers and neighbours expect and deserve. Our ongoing actions reflect our dedication to ethical standards and the wellbeing of everyone affected by our business, from staff members to the communities and environments our supply chains reach.
