This applies to all aspects of our business, from our own staff to our suppliers and their extended networks. We expect those we work with to adopt and enforce the same high standards.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise that the floral industry can involve complex supply chains, with produce and products sourced from various regions. Therefore, we take proactive steps to ensure our suppliers share our commitment to ethical conduct. Our due diligence processes include:

• Assessing new suppliers for their compliance with anti-slavery policies and legal obligations.
• Seeking written confirmations from suppliers that they do not engage in or condone any form of modern slavery.
• Monitoring existing suppliers on a regular basis to identify potential risks.
• Requiring corrective action where concerns are identified, including the possible termination of relationships if breaches are discovered.

Staff Training and Awareness

• Recognise potential indicators of modern slavery in our supply chains and business interactions.
• Understand how to respond appropriately if they suspect unethical practices.
• Promote a culture of vigilance and responsibility across our organisation.

Clear reporting channels are in place, giving team members the confidence to speak up about potential issues. All reports are handled sensitively and investigated thoroughly; we are dedicated to acting upon any information received and taking appropriate remedial steps where required.
