As a leading florist serving both households and businesses in Ruislip and the surrounding areas, Ruislip Flowers recognizes its responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct throughout our operations. We are committed to acting with integrity in all aspects of our business and to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our supply chains and workplace.
Ruislip Flowers maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We stand resolutely against any practices that exploit people or undermine their fundamental rights. This stance extends across our organisation and through every link in our supply chain. We expect the same high standards from all those with whom we do business.
Understanding that the floristry industry relies on global supply chains, we place great importance on selecting and collaborating with suppliers who share our values. As part of our supplier due diligence, Ruislip Flowers requires all our suppliers to provide assurances that their business operations are free from modern slavery, forced labour, and exploitative conditions. We seek evidence that our suppliers operate ethically, have policies in place to prevent modern slavery, and provide decent working conditions for all employees.
We regularly review our supplier relationships and take steps to monitor compliance. Where appropriate, we request further information and supporting documentation from suppliers, and we reserve the right to remove suppliers from our approved list if they fail to meet our standards.
We recognise that effectively combating modern slavery requires vigilance and awareness at all levels of our business. Ruislip Flowers provides relevant training to all staff to ensure that they understand the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking, know how to identify potential signs, and are aware of the steps they must take should they raise any concerns. This training forms part of our induction process and is refreshed periodically to ensure ongoing awareness.
Ruislip Flowers encourages an open culture where concerns about unethical or illegal practices can be raised without fear of retribution. Our staff, suppliers, and other business partners are encouraged to promptly report any suspicions or incidences of modern slavery through established internal channels. All reports are treated seriously and, where necessary, investigated promptly and thoroughly. We are committed to maintaining strict confidentiality for all individuals who come forward.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. As the risks associated with modern slavery can evolve, we are committed to continuously improving our policies, training, and due diligence measures.
We carefully monitor new legislative developments and industry best practice guidance to ensure our approach remains robust and responsive to emerging issues. Our aim is to foster a responsible, transparent, and ethical business for all those who work with and for us.
Ruislip Flowers is proud of its position as a trusted local florist, serving the people and businesses of Ruislip. We believe that our commitment to ethical business practices is essential to earning and retaining the trust of our community. We view the fight against modern slavery as a core component of our social responsibility, ensuring that our customers can buy from us with confidence in our values and practices.
