Colliers Wood Florist is dedicated to serving our customers across households and local businesses with integrity, respect, and social responsibility. As a trusted florist in the heart of Colliers Wood, we recognise our duty to prevent all forms of exploitation, including modern slavery and human trafficking, in every aspect of our operations and supply chain. We believe that everyone deserves dignity and fair treatment, which is why we take deliberate action to ensure our business upholds the highest ethical standards.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This stance is embedded within our company values and culture, informing the expectations and conduct of our staff, suppliers, and partners. We will not knowingly condone or engage in relationships with any parties found or suspected to be in breach of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 or any similar legislation. Any indication or evidence of non-compliance will be investigated thoroughly, and where necessary, prompt and decisive action will be taken, including termination of relationships.
As part of our commitment, we maintain rigorous due diligence processes when selecting and retaining suppliers. We assess and require confirmation from all suppliers that their business practices comply with all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. This includes completing detailed questionnaires and ongoing review to ensure that the flowers, sundries, and materials we purchase do not involve exploitative labour practices at any stage of production, transportation, or delivery. Auditing and, where relevant, site visits may be undertaken to validate compliance further.
Empowering our staff to recognise and report signs of modern slavery is vital to our approach. We provide regular training to all employees so that they understand the risks of modern slavery across our supply chain and business operations. This training outlines the tell-tale signs of exploitation, the importance of vigilance, and our internal protocols for escalating concerns. Through these ongoing efforts, we foster a culture of openness, responsibility, and active engagement in protecting vulnerable individuals from harm.
We encourage everyone—staff, suppliers, contractors, or customers—to report any suspicions or knowledge of modern slavery related to our business. Our reporting mechanisms are confidential and are designed to protect whistleblowers against any form of retaliation. Managers are trained to handle concerns in a sensitive and thorough manner, ensuring full investigation and, if appropriate, referral to relevant authorities. All cases are treated with the utmost seriousness, and steps are promptly taken to address and resolve any issues identified.
This statement, and the systems underpinning it, are reviewed annually to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness. We monitor regulatory changes, best practices, and feedback from staff and partners to continuously enhance our approach to anti-slavery. Updates are recorded and communicated to all stakeholders to reinforce our shared commitment to a slavery-free supply chain.
As a florist at the heart of Colliers Wood, serving both local families and businesses, we understand our responsibility extends beyond beautiful bouquets and outstanding service. By upholding these principles, Colliers Wood Florist not only protects human rights but also strengthens the trust and confidence the local community places in us. This Modern Slavery Statement is a testament to the values we live by and the standards we expect of all who work with and for us.
