At Flowers Abbey Wood, we are unwaveringly committed to conducting our business with integrity, transparency, and responsibility. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Abbey Wood, we hold ourselves and our partners to the highest ethical standards. We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced or child labour, both within our own operations and throughout our supply chains. We believe every individual has the right to work freely and under fair conditions, and we are dedicated to upholding these rights.
We recognise that our responsibility extends beyond our direct employees to include our suppliers and their networks. To achieve this, Flowers Abbey Wood undertakes diligent checks as part of our procurement and supplier management processes. All prospective and existing suppliers are required to acknowledge and uphold our stance against modern slavery. We seek confirmation from our suppliers that they operate in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and observe ethical employment practices. Where necessary, we request evidence of compliance, including signed policy statements, and we retain the right to terminate relationships with suppliers where breaches are found or suspected.
All team members at Flowers Abbey Wood receive guidance and regular training on identifying the signs of modern slavery and understanding the implications it has on individuals and communities. This equips our employees with the knowledge to detect, report, and help prevent unethical practices in our workplace and extended supply network. We foster a culture where ethical concerns are discussed openly and every staff member is empowered to act in accordance with our values.
Supporting a safe and responsible workplace means ensuring everyone knows how to report concerns without fear of retaliation. Flowers Abbey Wood provides clear internal channels for reporting actual or suspected cases of modern slavery. Any concern raised is treated in the strictest confidence and taken seriously at all levels of the business. Investigations are handled promptly and corrective action is taken where necessary, in line with our disciplinary and supplier management procedures.
Recognising that the risks of modern slavery can evolve, we are committed to continuously reviewing and enhancing our policies and practices. This Modern Slavery Statement, and the actions described, are reviewed annually to ensure their continued effectiveness. As part of this process, we evaluate the outcomes of staff training, supplier assessments, and reported issues. Where improvements are identified, we adapt our systems and take decisive steps towards maintaining our commitment to eradicating modern slavery in all its forms.
As a florist deeply rooted in the Abbey Wood community, serving both local households and businesses, we recognise that our responsibilities are more than legal obligations—they reflect our ethical standing as a trusted service provider. We take pride in fostering an environment where respect, fairness, and safety are prioritised for everyone we engage with, from employees to customers and suppliers. Flowers Abbey Wood remains dedicated to ensuring the highest levels of accountability and integrity in all our practices for the benefit of our community.
