As a respected florist serving Hook and the surrounding local community, Flowers Hook recognises the vital role we play in upholding ethical standards across all aspects of our business. Modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation, has no place in society or within our operations and supply chains. We understand our responsibility to safeguard the wellbeing and dignity of everyone we work with, from employees to suppliers.
Flowers Hook enforces a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are dedicated to ensuring that our business operations and supply of flowers and related products are free from any association with this abuse. We expect the same unwavering commitment from our suppliers, contractors, and business partners.
A crucial part of our approach is undertaking due diligence on potential and existing suppliers. We require that all our suppliers commit to the same high standards that we uphold. Our vetting procedures include thorough checks to assess compliance with anti-slavery laws and ensure that fair labour practices are maintained throughout the supply chain. If we identify any risks or breaches, we act promptly to address and, if necessary, terminate relationships that do not meet these standards.
We believe that awareness is central to our prevention strategy. Flowers Hook provides regular training to all staff to help them recognise the indicators of modern slavery and exploitative labour practices. Through this training, employees understand what constitutes modern slavery, how to spot warning signs, and the appropriate steps to take should they have a concern.
We are committed to fostering an environment in which staff, suppliers, customers, and the wider community feel empowered to raise any concerns about potential or actual instances of modern slavery. Concerns can be reported through confidential internal channels. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and managed with sensitivity. We support anyone who reports issues in good faith, ensuring there is no negative consequence for speaking up.
Our approach to preventing modern slavery is monitored and reviewed on an annual basis. Each review considers changes in best practice, updates in relevant legislation, and feedback from stakeholders. Following our reviews, our policies and procedures are updated to ensure continuous improvement in our controls and supplier engagement. This statement and our broader anti-slavery framework are overseen by our management team, who are committed to upholding our strong ethical foundations.
As a trusted provider of floral arrangements for households and businesses in Hook, we recognise that our actions reflect on our reputation and the trust our community places in us. By implementing robust measures against modern slavery, Flowers Hook demonstrates our dedication to ethical trade and social responsibility. We remain steadfast in our mission to provide beautiful flowers and customer service with integrity at every stage.
