At Flowers Bloomsbury, we recognise our ethical, social, and legal responsibilities in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted florist serving the community of Bloomsbury – both local households and businesses – we are committed to maintaining a transparent, fair, and values-led business. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and uphold our zero tolerance approach throughout our operations and supply chain.
Modern slavery, in all forms including forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking, has no place in our business or supply chains. Flowers Bloomsbury enforces a strict zero tolerance policy for modern slavery and human rights abuses. We expect the same high standards from our partners, suppliers, and contractors, ensuring that all individuals associated with our business are treated with dignity and respect.
We work closely with our suppliers, from growers and wholesalers to logistics providers, to ensure responsible sourcing and ethical conduct. Our due diligence process requires suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery laws and our ethical standards. Before onboarding or renewing contracts, we seek assurances that our suppliers have measures in place to prevent slavery and human trafficking within their organisations and supply networks. Where risks are identified, we investigate thoroughly and take decisive action, including discontinuing relationships with suppliers that are unable or unwilling to meet our expectations.
All our team members receive training to recognise the signs of modern slavery, understand our policies, and know how to respond to suspected cases. Raising awareness is a key part of our commitment: we empower our staff to question practices that seem unethical and to speak up without fear of reprisal. Training materials are reviewed and updated to reflect changes in regulations and evolving best practices.
Maintaining open and secure channels for reporting concerns is integral to our anti-slavery approach. Any team member, supplier, or customer may raise a concern about potential modern slavery or unethical behaviour in a safe and confidential manner. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and result in appropriate action. No individual will suffer discrimination or retaliation for reporting their concerns in good faith.
Flowers Bloomsbury is dedicated to continual improvement in our efforts to prevent modern slavery. This statement is reviewed annually as part of our broader social responsibility policy, taking into account feedback from stakeholders, changes in law, and outcomes of internal monitoring. Should risks or incidents be identified, we respond rapidly and implement improvements to strengthen our systems and control measures.
Our responsibility as a trusted Bloomsbury florist extends beyond beautiful flowers – it includes respect for people at every stage of our business. We uphold these principles for the benefit of our customers, our team, and the wider community. Flowers Bloomsbury remains steadfast in our commitment to transparency, ethical practice, and supporting the global fight against modern slavery.
