As a trusted florist based in Baldock, Flowers Baldock is dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in all areas of our business operations. We recognise our responsibility to the local community, our customers, and our suppliers to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no role in our business, nor within our supply chain. Our policy reflects the core values by which we serve households and businesses throughout Baldock and surrounding areas.
Flowers Baldock adopts a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery in all its forms, including forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child exploitation. We are committed to adhering to all relevant legislation, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and require the same high standards of our suppliers and partners. Any indication of engagement in modern slavery practices leads to the termination of business relations and, where necessary, the reporting of incidents to relevant authorities.
Our commitment extends to carefully selecting and monitoring our supply chain. Flowers Baldock conducts diligent assessments when onboarding new suppliers, ensuring rigorous evaluation of their labour practices and overall business ethics. We actively seek supplier commitment to anti-slavery standards and maintain ongoing communication to reaffirm these expectations. Where necessary, we request evidence of compliance or certifications to support our due diligence procedures, and we undertake regular reviews to ensure continuous adherence.
We believe awareness is central to the identification and prevention of modern slavery. Flowers Baldock provides regular training sessions to all staff, ensuring they understand the signs of exploitation and the actions required to address any potential issues. Our training encompasses legal requirements, social responsibility, and the procedures for escalation of any concerns. Through this approach, we foster an informed and vigilant workforce that champions ethical practices.
We encourage every staff member, customer, and supplier to report concerns regarding modern slavery or unethical conduct. Flowers Baldock offers clear, safe, and confidential channels for raising any issues or suspicions. All reports are treated thoroughly and with the utmost seriousness, and employees are reassured that they will never face retribution for acting in good faith. Anonymity and protection are guaranteed for all those coming forward, reflecting our commitment to transparency and integrity.
Flowers Baldock undertakes an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and all relevant policies. This review ensures our practices remain robust and responsive to emerging risks or legislative changes.
