At Flowers Abbots Langley, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct within our business operations and supply chains. As a trusted florist serving Abbots Langley households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to actively support the eradication of modern slavery and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to ensure these heinous practices have no place within our own organisation or our wider network of suppliers and service providers.
Flowers Abbots Langley operates under a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor, or business that is involved in or condones such activity. Our commitment extends to every level of our business, from sourcing and procurement to retail and delivery, reflecting the trust placed in us by the local community.
We fully recognise that the flower industry is global and can, at times, be vulnerable to unethical practices. Accordingly, we have implemented robust due diligence procedures when selecting and working with our suppliers. Every supplier is expected to adhere strictly to the laws regarding labour, employment, and human rights as a condition of conducting business with Flowers Abbots Langley. We require confirmation of compliance from all our direct suppliers and, where possible, seek to trace the origins of products further up the chain. We review our supplier relationships regularly and will suspend or terminate any agreement where evidence of modern slavery arises.
All Flowers Abbots Langley staff receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding how to report concerns. This training is incorporated into our onboarding process and refreshed as part of our annual staff development programme. Informed and vigilant staff are essential in helping us identify any suspicious practices and ensure prompt intervention if required. We make clear to every team member that maintaining a culture of integrity and respect is central to our values.
We encourage open communication and provide clear, confidential channels for both staff and external parties to report any suspicion regarding modern slavery or unethical conduct. Every reported concern will be treated seriously and investigated thoroughly, without fear of victimisation or retaliation for whistleblowers. Ensuring secure and accessible reporting mechanisms allows us to respond quickly and appropriately to any risk or incident identified.
Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually (or sooner if required by significant organisational or legal developments). This regular review enables us to assess the effectiveness of our actions, update internal practices, and reflect on new risks that may emerge within our industry or local context. We remain committed to evolving our approach to match the highest possible standards, safeguarding the welfare of those involved at every step in the supply of our products and services.
As an established part of the Abbots Langley community, serving both households and businesses, Flowers Abbots Langley takes its ethical responsibility seriously. We understand that our reputation depends not only on the quality of our floral arrangements, but on the transparency and trust that comes from doing the right thing. Our ongoing commitment to opposing modern slavery is fundamental to the way we conduct business and support our community at large.
We are committed to building a culture of transparency, integrity, and human dignity throughout our operations and supply chain. Flowers Abbots Langley will continue to take proactive measures to identify, prevent, and address any risk of modern slavery, maintaining the trust and confidence of our staff, customers, and the wider Abbots Langley community.
