At Epsom Flowers, we recognise our responsibility to uphold ethical standards in every facet of our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the Epsom community, we are committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines the steps we take to prevent, identify, and address any such practices within our business and supply chains, and to foster transparency for our customers and partners.
Epsom Flowers maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. Our stance is unequivocal: we will not knowingly engage with organisations or individuals who are involved in or permit such practices. This commitment applies across all aspects of our company, from sourcing products to delivering finished arrangements to our clients.
We understand that the risk of modern slavery can exist anywhere along the supply chain. Our due diligence process with suppliers includes requiring them to confirm their adherence to anti-slavery laws and ethical practices. We review their policies, request declarations of compliance, and, where feasible, conduct periodic assessments. Our aim is to build relationships only with suppliers who demonstrate integrity and share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery.
Epsom Flowers believes that education is vital in the fight against modern slavery. We provide ongoing training to all employees, informing them of the signs of exploitation and the procedures for raising concerns. By ensuring that our team understands the issue and its potential impact within our industry, we empower them to act responsibly and support our standards.
We are committed to maintaining a safe space for staff, suppliers, and customers to speak up about any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery. Our internal reporting channels allow for the confidential escalation of concerns to management. We take every report seriously and investigate thoroughly, ensuring that appropriate actions are taken to mitigate risks and support affected individuals where necessary.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its relevance and effectiveness. We continually evaluate our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships in light of evolving legal requirements and best practices. Our annual review allows us to refine our approach and adapt to new challenges, reinforcing our unwavering stance against modern slavery.
Serving Epsom's families and businesses places us at the heart of our community. We recognise that our customers trust us not only with their floral needs but with upholding values that reflect the very best of responsible business. By taking meaningful action on modern slavery, Epsom Flowers demonstrates its dedication to ethical practices and to the well-being of everyone involved in our enterprise.
