At Belgravia Flowers, we are committed to acting ethically in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving both local households and businesses throughout Belgravia, we uphold a zero tolerance policy against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We understand that our conduct and our supply chain practices must reflect not only compliance with legal requirements, but also our responsibilities as longstanding members of the community.
Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking. Belgravia Flowers maintains a strict zero tolerance approach to these practices. This policy extends to all facets of our operations, from in-house activities through to our entire supply chain. We expect all our suppliers and partners to adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships with any suppliers or contractors found to be engaging in or supporting modern slavery in any form.
We recognise the importance of transparency and ethical sourcing in our supply chain. To that end, we conduct due diligence when entering into agreements with new suppliers and periodically review our existing suppliers. This includes requiring suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation, share information about their own supply chains, and commit, contractually, to upholding the standards that Belgravia Flowers considers vital. Where we identify potential risk, we engage directly with suppliers to clarify expectations and, where necessary, implement additional checks.
Belgravia Flowers provides training and guidance to all staff to ensure they understand the signs of modern slavery and the actions to take if they suspect unethical practices. Through regular briefings and periodic refresher sessions, we make it clear to our team that the prevention and detection of modern slavery is everyone’s responsibility. As representatives of a trusted local florist, our employees know how to identify unusual or exploitative behaviour within our organisation and in dealings with suppliers.
We are committed to creating an open culture in which concerns about modern slavery can be raised without fear of retaliation. All staff members and those working in our supply chain are encouraged to report any suspicions of modern slavery or unethical conduct. Internal reporting channels are accessible and confidential, encouraging everyone involved with Belgravia Flowers to speak up should the need arise.
Each year, Belgravia Flowers reviews and updates our Modern Slavery Statement to ensure ongoing effectiveness. This annual review process allows us to reflect on best practices, respond to any changes in law or risk, and maintain the highest standards possible. Feedback from staff and suppliers is welcomed and considered as part of this process, reinforcing a cycle of continual improvement.
As a florist at the heart of Belgravia’s homes and businesses, we know that our responsibility extends far beyond flowers. By confronting the issue of modern slavery head on, we strive to protect the integrity of our business, uphold our community’s trust, and contribute to a just and fair society. We are resolute in our vigilance and dedication to eradicating all forms of modern slavery from our operations and supply chains.
