As a respected florist in Colliers Wood, serving both households and businesses, Colliers Wood Flowers recognises our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards. We are fully committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We recognise the trust placed in us by our local community and are resolute in our efforts to ensure that our products, services, and practices reflect our core values of integrity and respect for human rights.
Colliers Wood Flowers enforces a strict zero tolerance policy towards any forms of modern slavery or human trafficking. We do not tolerate forced labour, servitude, compulsory or bonded labour, or any forms of exploitation, whether within our own workforce or in relation to any individuals engaged in the provision of goods and services to our business. Our directors and management expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers, and business partners.
We recognise that modern slavery can occur at any point in complex supply chains. To mitigate this risk, we undertake appropriate due diligence of our suppliers, focusing particularly on those providing goods and services that could be considered higher risk. This includes requiring confirmation that suppliers comply with relevant anti-slavery and anti-trafficking legislation and that they uphold ethical labour practices. We continually evaluate and review supplier relationships, seeking assurances that employment is freely chosen and that working conditions are safe and fair.
Ensuring our staff are well-informed is central to our approach in preventing modern slavery. We provide tailored training to all colleagues so that they understand what modern slavery is, how to recognise potential signs, and what actions should be taken in response to suspicions or disclosures. By maintaining ongoing training and awareness sessions, we foster a vigilant workforce committed to ethical behaviour and the protection of human rights.
We encourage anyone who has a concern about suspected modern slavery within any part of our business or supply chain to raise these concerns confidentially. Colliers Wood Flowers provides reporting channels for staff, suppliers, and members of the public to share any information regarding unethical practices. We guarantee that concerns raised in good faith will be treated with the strictest confidence and investigated promptly and thoroughly, with appropriate disciplinary or corrective action taken if necessary.
Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and relevance. This involves a comprehensive assessment of our current policies, supplier practices, and staff training systems. We are committed to continuous improvement and will update our approach in line with new legislation, guidance, and best practice to protect vulnerable individuals and uphold the values of our community.
As a trusted Colliers Wood florist, we recognise that our ethical standards impact not only those working directly for us but also our wider community of households and businesses. This Modern Slavery Statement embodies our dedication to safeguarding human dignity, supporting ethical supply chains, and being a responsible local business. We will continue to engage with stakeholders to strengthen our approach and ensure that our business always reflects the values expected of a community-focused organisation.
