As a trusted florist in Lambeth, Lambeth Flowers is dedicated to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking do not exist within our business operations or supply chains. We take our responsibility to our local households and businesses seriously, and this statement reflects our continued commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards. We recognize the importance of identifying and mitigating risks related to modern slavery in every aspect of our work, both within our team and among our valued suppliers.
Lambeth Flowers operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, servitude, and forced or compulsory labour. This applies to all our activities and relationships, including those with employees, agency workers, and the suppliers who provide us with flowers, plants, packaging, and associated goods or services. We are unwavering in our expectation that everyone we engage with shares this commitment and conducts business in an ethical and lawful manner.
We understand that one of the greatest risks of modern slavery lies within complex supply chains. Lambeth Flowers maintains a robust supplier assessment process. We conduct regular due diligence on all new and existing suppliers to ensure they adhere to our ethical standards. This includes asking relevant questions about their sourcing practices, workforce conditions, and compliance with anti-slavery legislation. Where appropriate, we require suppliers to confirm their own Modern Slavery Statements. We continuously monitor our supplier relationships and take immediate action if any concerns arise, including terminating partnerships if necessary.
Our commitment to combating modern slavery begins with our own team. All Lambeth Flowers staff receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding the steps to take if they suspect it. We provide ongoing learning resources to maintain high levels of awareness and responsibility. Everyone at Lambeth Flowers is encouraged to uphold our values and foster an open culture where concerns can be raised without fear.
We maintain clear and accessible channels for reporting concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery. Employees, suppliers, and customers alike are encouraged to report any issues swiftly and confidentially. We commit to investigating all concerns promptly and thoroughly, ensuring that appropriate action is taken to address any violations of our policy. All reports are treated seriously and with discretion, reinforcing our stance against any form of modern slavery.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and compliant with current legislation and best practice. We are committed to making continuous improvements, guided by any changes in the legal or operational landscape, feedback from staff, or new risks identified. Our annual review process allows us to update training materials, strengthen supplier checks, and refine our reporting mechanisms as necessary.
Lambeth Flowers deeply values the trust placed in us by Lambeth’s households and businesses. We see our stand against modern slavery as fundamental to our role in the community. Through vigilance, transparency, and proactive measures, we aim to help eradicate modern slavery and set a positive example for others in the industry. We are proud to serve our community with integrity and respect for human rights, today and into the future.
