Chelsea Florist recognises the critical responsibility we have to combat modern slavery in all its forms, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. As a trusted floral provider to households and businesses in Chelsea, we uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct across our operations and throughout our supply chain.
We have a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour is strictly prohibited within our business operations and by all suppliers and partners. This policy is clearly communicated to all team members and business associates, with expectations explicitly outlined at the outset of any commercial relationship.
Chelsea Florist sources flowers, plants, and materials both locally and internationally. We insist that our suppliers adhere to ethical labour standards and demonstrate compliance with relevant laws and regulations in their country of operation. Prior to engagement, we assess suppliers through questionnaires and request information on their employment practices. Ongoing relationships are contingent upon adherence to our policies, and any supplier found to be violating these standards will face immediate review and potential termination of contract.
Ensuring that our staff understand the risks and realities of modern slavery is essential. Chelsea Florist provides training and guidance to employees, equipping them to recognize signs of exploitation, forced labour, and trafficking within the workplace and across our supply chain. Regular refresher sessions and up-to-date resources are provided as part of our ongoing commitment to a safe and fair working environment.
We maintain clear and accessible channels for reporting concerns related to modern slavery. All employees, suppliers, and partners are encouraged to raise any suspicions or evidence of unethical practices confidentially without fear of reprisal. Reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and escalated as necessary. Where required, we work with relevant authorities to ensure a thorough and effective response.
This statement, along with our modern slavery policy, is reviewed annually to ensure accuracy, effectiveness, and continuous improvement. We track our actions, assess new risks, and evolve our responses as required by changing circumstances and legal developments. Our commitment is ongoing, and we remain vigilant in all operations year-round.
As a longstanding Chelsea business with deep connections to our community, we understand our duty extends beyond compliance. Our reputation as a responsible florist is built on trust, integrity, and respect for the rights and welfare of every individual. By acting decisively against modern slavery, we support the well-being of our customers, employees, and the wider community we proudly serve.
This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by Chelsea Florist’s management and will be updated annually to reflect our ongoing dedication to ethical standards and transparency.
