At Tooting Flowers, we pride ourselves on being a trusted florist serving the Tooting community, providing beautiful floral arrangements to local households and businesses. As part of our commitment to ethical business practices, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. This statement outlines our ongoing efforts and the measures we have in place to ensure the highest ethical standards are upheld across all areas of our business.
Tooting Flowers maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to promoting a culture of respect, dignity, and fair treatment for everyone connected to our business, whether they are employees, suppliers, or the wider community. Any suspected violations of this policy are taken seriously and will prompt immediate investigation and response.
We recognise that our responsibility to prevent modern slavery extends beyond our own staff to every aspect of our supply chain. Tooting Flowers is dedicated to working only with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical standards. We conduct thorough due diligence when selecting suppliers, ensuring that they comply with legal requirements and demonstrate fair labour practices. Periodic reviews and risk assessments are carried out to identify any areas of concern and address them promptly. If any supplier is found to breach our expectations regarding modern slavery or exploitation, we will take immediate action, which may include terminating the business relationship.
Our team is at the heart of our business, and we ensure all staff receive regular training to raise awareness of modern slavery, human trafficking, and the risks that may exist within our industry. Employees are educated about spotting signs of exploitation, understanding their responsibilities, and knowing what steps to take if a concern arises. We encourage open dialogue and foster a culture in which ethical concerns can be freely discussed.
Tooting Flowers is committed to providing straightforward channels for staff and external partners to report concerns related to modern slavery, human trafficking, or any unethical practices within our supply chain. Reports can be made in confidence and without fear of retaliation. We will investigate all concerns raised and take appropriate action in line with our zero tolerance policy.
We recognise that the risks relating to modern slavery and human trafficking may change over time. Therefore, this statement and our associated policies are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and reflect current legislation and best practices. Areas for improvement are identified and acted upon as part of our broader commitment to continuous improvement in ethical standards.
As a trusted Tooting florist, we promise to continue acting responsibly and with integrity, both in how we serve our customers and in how we manage our business. Preventing modern slavery is integral to who we are, and we remain steadfast in our efforts to ensure that every part of our business and supply chain operates with respect for human rights.
