As a leading florist in Oxted, Flowers Oxted acknowledges our responsibility to uphold human rights and combat modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. As a trusted business serving both local households and companies, we are dedicated to absolute transparency and the highest ethical standards across our supply chains and internal operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our ongoing commitment to prevent any form of slavery or exploitation within our organisation and those we are connected with.
Flowers Oxted maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We hold ourselves and our suppliers to rigorous ethical standards to ensure that all individuals involved in the sourcing, delivery, and sale of our products are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect. Any breach of this policy will result in immediate and decisive action, including termination of contracts with offending parties and the involvement of relevant authorities where appropriate.
Understanding the complexities of global supply chains, especially within the floral industry, we recognise the risks of modern slavery. Flowers Oxted conducts careful due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. All suppliers are required to confirm adherence to our anti-slavery standards and provide evidence of their own ethical practices. Regular assessments and checks are conducted to identify any potential risks, and ongoing cooperation with suppliers is essential to ensuring that our values are upheld throughout the procurement process.
We believe that appropriately trained staff are vital in the fight against modern slavery. All team members at Flowers Oxted receive education on the risks, signs, and procedures for reporting modern slavery. This training ensures staff are vigilant and equipped to respond promptly should any concerns arise. Supporting materials and periodic refresher sessions form a key part of our ongoing learning and development plan, embedding a culture of responsibility and alertness within our business.
Employees, suppliers, and customers are encouraged to report any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery in our operations or supply chains. Flowers Oxted provides accessible channels for raising concerns confidentially and without fear of reprisal. All reports are taken seriously, investigated swiftly, and appropriate action is taken to address the issue. We are committed to a transparent culture where safeguarding human rights is prioritised at every level of the business.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains up to date with current best practices, legislation, and our own operational developments. Changes, if necessary, are implemented quickly to remain at the forefront of ethical business conduct. We are committed to continuous improvement, learning from each annual review and from feedback received from stakeholders, staff, and local partners.
At Flowers Oxted, our actions reflect the trust placed in us as a respected Oxted florist. We are committed to acting ethically, with integrity, and to continually strengthening our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our work. By maintaining robust policies and regularly assessing their effectiveness, we aim to foster a safe and respectful environment for all those connected with our business.
