As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Ruislip, Florist Ruislip fully recognises its responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of its operations. This Modern Slavery Statement details the steps taken to ensure that neither our organisation, nor our supply chains, are tainted by the exploitative practices of forced labour, servitude, or trafficking. Our local reputation is built on integrity, trust, and respect, and we extend these values beyond our team, to each supplier and partner we engage.
Florist Ruislip has a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in any form. We do not accept or condone forced labour, child labour, human trafficking or any abusive labour practices. Our stance is non-negotiable: any breach by a supplier or contractor leads to immediate investigation and, where necessary, the termination of the relationship. Leadership at Florist Ruislip is unequivocally committed to ensuring our business and wider supply chain operate to the highest ethical standards.
We recognise that risks of modern slavery may exist at various points along the supply chain, especially in the sourcing of flowers, packaging, and decorative accessories. All new suppliers are required to confirm adherence to our ethical trading expectations, including full compliance with laws regarding employment and labour rights. We regularly review supplier contracts to include modern slavery clauses and request evidence of compliance with anti-slavery legislation. Periodic spot checks may be undertaken, and long-standing suppliers are reassessed annually to safeguard against complacency or changes in their practices.
Our team members feel proud to be part of a florist that values ethical conduct. Florist Ruislip provides regular staff training on identifying the signs of modern slavery and labour exploitation both within the business and the local supply chain. New starters are briefed on our zero tolerance stance and are encouraged to remain vigilant. Ongoing training ensures that this vital issue remains central to our culture and daily decision-making processes.
We foster a culture of openness and responsibility, making it clear that suspected breaches can and should be reported by any team member without fear of reprisal. Florist Ruislip maintains robust internal channels for staff to raise concerns about suspected incidents of modern slavery, either within our business or observed in our suppliers. All reports are investigated confidentially and with urgency, with findings reported to the relevant senior manager for appropriate action.
This statement and our underlying practices are reviewed at least annually. The review assesses current risk, supplier performance, and staff awareness, enabling us to refine and strengthen our approach each year. Updated statements are shared with employees and are made available to clients, reaffirming our commitment as an ethical and responsible local business.
Florist Ruislip is proud to serve the Ruislip community. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery reflects not only our legal obligations but our values as a trusted business partner and employer. Upholding these standards helps maintain the trust of our valued customers and contributes to a fairer, safer community for all.
