Battersea Flowers is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships. As a trusted Battersea florist serving local households and businesses, we understand our vital responsibility to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or supply chain. Our commitment reflects not only our legal obligations but also our dedication to upholding the highest ethical standards for our customers and community.
Battersea Flowers maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking of any kind. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any breach of these standards will result in immediate and decisive action, which may include terminating relationships or contracts where necessary.
As a supplier of flowers and floral arrangements, we recognise the risk of modern slavery in global supply chains. Battersea Flowers undertakes rigorous due diligence when selecting new suppliers and auditing existing partners. We require all suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. Our checks include reviewing supplier policies, certifications, and — where possible — conducting on-site assessments or requesting details on their own supply chain ethical practices. Suppliers who fail to meet our requirements will not be engaged or will be removed from our supply base.
We believe staff vigilance is critical in our efforts to prevent modern slavery. Battersea Flowers provides regular training to all employees, ensuring they are equipped to recognise the signs of modern slavery, forced labour, or unethical practices within our supply chain and workplace. Our training is reviewed and updated annually to cover emerging risks and to reinforce awareness throughout the organisation.
Battersea Flowers has established clear internal reporting channels that enable staff or suppliers to raise concerns regarding suspected modern slavery or human trafficking in a confidential and secure manner. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. We guarantee no retaliation for individuals reporting in good faith. This open communication helps foster a culture of transparency and continuous improvement.
This statement and our anti-slavery measures are reviewed annually by senior management at Battersea Flowers to evaluate their effectiveness and adapt to new challenges or changes in legislation. We remain committed to continuous improvement and strengthening our practices year on year. Feedback from staff, customers, and partners is welcomed as part of this ongoing review process.
By upholding these principles, Battersea Flowers aims to provide peace of mind to our valued customers and community partners. Upholding ethical standards is central to our identity as a local business serving the Battersea community. Our approach to modern slavery reflects our wider responsibility to treat everyone in our supply chain with dignity, fairness, and respect. We will continue to take all necessary actions to safeguard our business and community from the risks of modern slavery.
