West Kensington Flowers is dedicated to conducting business with integrity, respect, and transparency. As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in West Kensington, we recognise our responsibility in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out our actions to prevent slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains, in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking across all areas of our operations. West Kensington Flowers will not engage with any individuals or organisations found to be involved in such practices. Our approach is proactive, ensuring that our business and those with whom we work uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and respect for human rights.
Our supply chain is central to the delivery of our floral services and products. West Kensington Flowers conducts thorough due diligence on all suppliers and partners before establishing any business relationship. This includes seeking assurances about suppliers’ ethical practices, their adherence to anti-slavery policies, and their compliance with relevant legislation. Where deemed necessary, we request documented evidence of their compliance and reserve the right to carry out audits or site visits to confirm these standards are upheld. Suppliers must agree to share our zero-tolerance stance and demonstrate their commitment through ongoing cooperation and transparency.
We recognise that ongoing education is essential in identifying and tackling risks of modern slavery within our operations and supply chain. All staff members receive training to understand the signs of potential exploitation, their responsibilities under our modern slavery policy, and how to respond appropriately to concerns. This training is updated annually to reflect the latest developments and best practices, ensuring that our team remains vigilant and informed.
We have established clear internal reporting procedures to enable staff, suppliers, and others connected to our business to raise concerns confidentially about possible instances of modern slavery or human trafficking. Concerns can be reported to line managers or designated safeguarding leads for prompt investigation and action. We ensure that all concerns are treated seriously, investigated thoroughly, and that no individual faces repercussions for reporting in good faith.
This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to an annual review by senior management to ensure it remains effective and relevant. We reassess our processes, training programmes, supplier relationships, and reporting mechanisms regularly. Feedback from staff and suppliers is welcomed as part of our commitment to continuous improvement and to strengthening our safeguards against exploitation.
As a longstanding florist in West Kensington, we are proud to serve residents and businesses with flowers and arrangements that reflect the spirit and integrity of our community. We believe that protecting the fundamental rights and dignity of every person involved in our business and supply chain is essential to building trust and upholding the values that our customers and partners expect from us. West Kensington Flowers will continue to champion ethical practices and transparency in every aspect of our work.
