Romford Flowers is proud to serve households and businesses throughout Romford, and we recognise our responsibility to respect, protect, and uphold human rights in all aspects of our operations. As a trusted local florist, we are committed to acting ethically and transparently to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to ensure that slavery and human trafficking do not occur within our organisation or through those who supply goods and services to us.
Romford Flowers maintains a strict zero tolerance policy regarding all forms of modern slavery. We do not condone, support, or engage in any practices involving forced labour, involuntary servitude, child labour, or human trafficking. We uphold the principle of fair treatment for every person involved in our operations and expect the same ethical conduct from those with whom we work, including all suppliers and third-party partners.
Recognising where modern slavery risks may lie within the fresh flower supply chain, Romford Flowers is committed to robust supplier due diligence. We thoroughly assess prospective suppliers, requiring them to confirm adherence to anti-slavery laws and ethical labour standards. Our ongoing relationships are subject to continued monitoring and evaluation, ensuring all suppliers uphold our values and compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and other relevant regulations. Where concerns are identified, we take swift action, which may include the termination of contracts.
It is essential that everyone representing Romford Flowers remains vigilant and informed about the issue of modern slavery. We provide regular training to our staff to help them recognise signs of exploitation and understand their responsibilities under our anti-slavery policy. This training covers our internal policies, guidance for ethical behaviour, and procedures for raising concerns. All employees are encouraged to affirm their commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards in every transaction and interaction.
Romford Flowers is committed to creating a safe and open environment where all concerns about modern slavery practices can be raised without fear of retaliation. Staff and stakeholders are informed of the internal mechanisms available to report suspicions of slavery or unethical behaviour at any level of our business and supply network. Our leadership treats all reports confidentially, initiating timely investigations and taking appropriate corrective actions, including working with local authorities when required.
Our dedication to combating modern slavery is an ongoing commitment. Romford Flowers conducts an annual review of our policies, supplier network, and internal practices to evaluate their effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. We monitor industry developments and regulatory updates to ensure our procedures remain robust and aligned with best practice. This statement is updated annually to reflect our continued vigilance and dedication to prevention efforts.
As a longstanding florist in the heart of Romford, we understand that trust from our community is earned through responsible business conduct. Our approach to modern slavery is fundamentally linked to our values of integrity, respect, and care for our clients, colleagues, and wider society. Romford Flowers pledges to continually review and improve our efforts, honouring our commitment to responsible trade and ethical employment at every level.
