At Flowers Fortis Green, we believe in upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity in every aspect of our business. Modern slavery and human trafficking are grave violations of human rights, and we firmly adopt a zero tolerance policy towards these practices in our operations and supply chains. We are committed to actively preventing, identifying, and eliminating any risk of modern slavery as part of our responsibility as a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Fortis Green.
We recognise that the risk of modern slavery often exists in complex supply chains. To address this, we implement thorough supplier due diligence processes. All new and existing suppliers must complete a risk assessment questionnaire regarding their employment practices, labour standards, and sourcing methods. Regular reviews are conducted to monitor compliance, ensuring our partners share our values and commitment against modern slavery.
In selecting suppliers, we prioritise those who demonstrate transparent, ethical labour practices and clear documentation corroborating the legal and responsible treatment of all workers. Suppliers found to be in breach of our policy face immediate contract termination and are reported to the relevant authorities.
Education is critical in the fight against modern slavery. All Flowers Fortis Green staff receive annual training to recognise the signs of forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitative practices within the workplace and among suppliers. This ongoing training empowers our team to take proactive steps in raising concerns or identifying risks, reinforcing our collective responsibility to maintain an ethical, transparent working environment.
We maintain clear and accessible channels for reporting suspected instances of modern slavery. All employees are encouraged to report concerns confidentially, without fear of retribution. These channels are regularly communicated to staff members and reviewed to ensure they are effective and adequately protect whistleblowers. We positively support anyone who raises genuine concerns and pledge to investigate swiftly and thoroughly, in compliance with our legal and ethical obligations.
Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery is an ongoing process. Every year, we review and update our Modern Slavery Statement to reflect new risks, best practices, and feedback from stakeholders. These annual reviews ensure our policy remains effective and responsive, adapting to changes in the industry and wider societal expectations.
We also consult with local business groups and participate in community initiatives aimed at promoting ethical business conduct throughout Fortis Green and beyond.
Flowers Fortis Green understands that our role as a neighbourhood florist goes beyond simply providing beautiful flowers. Integrity in all our relationships—whether with customers, suppliers, or our staff—is at the heart of our business. By upholding and continually strengthening our modern slavery prevention measures, we honour the trust placed in us by the local community. We are committed to transparency and invite ongoing dialogue to ensure we remain accountable and maintain the highest standards for the people and communities we serve.
