Uxbridge Flowers is dedicated to operating ethically and with integrity in every aspect of our business operations. As a respected florist serving both households and businesses in Uxbridge, we acknowledge our responsibility to uphold human rights at every level of our supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and from our supply partners.
Modern slavery, including slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking, is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. Uxbridge Flowers has a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery. We are unwavering in our commitment to acting ethically and transparently in all our business dealings, making it clear that any involvement in such practices is completely unacceptable and will result in decisive action.
We are committed to working only with suppliers who share our values with regard to ethical business conduct and human rights. Our due diligence process includes assessing our suppliers for potential risks of modern slavery and human trafficking, particularly in high-risk sectors such as agriculture and logistics. Before we engage with any new supplier, we thoroughly review their practices, requesting assurances of compliance with all relevant laws, including those that prohibit forced labour and exploitation. Ongoing relationships are subject to spot checks and reviews so we can be confident that our standards—and those enshrined in law—are continuously upheld.
Every member of the Uxbridge Flowers team receives guidance and training on the recognition and reporting of modern slavery risks. We believe awareness is fundamental to prevention; thus, we provide regular refresher sessions to ensure staff understand what constitutes modern slavery, how to identify signs within the supply chain or workplace, and the importance of safeguarding vulnerable individuals. New starters are required to complete this training as part of their induction process.
Uxbridge Flowers is committed to fostering an environment where concerns about modern slavery can be raised openly, confidentially, and without fear of reprisal. All staff members are encouraged to report any suspicion or knowledge of modern slavery taking place within our operations or those of our suppliers. Concerns raised are treated with the utmost seriousness, are investigated promptly, and will not result in negative consequences for the reporting individual. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and to taking robust action where wrongdoing is found.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it reflects the ongoing commitment of Uxbridge Flowers to both legal compliance and the highest standards of ethical conduct. The review considers new legislative developments, the results of our due diligence, feedback from staff, and changes in our supply chain. Where appropriate, we update our practices and training to ensure we remain at the forefront of ethical floristry.
As a well-established florist in Uxbridge trusted by households and businesses alike, we take our social responsibility seriously. Our vigilance in preventing modern slavery is part of our commitment to our customers and community, ensuring our flowers are always a symbol of care, integrity, and respect for all people involved in bringing them to you.
