Modern Slavery Commitment at Brompton Flowers
Our Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery
Brompton Flowers is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all of our business practices. As a renowned florist serving homes and businesses throughout Brompton, we recognise our responsibility in upholding human rights and combating any form of modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines the steps we take to prevent slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. Brompton Flowers is committed to acting ethically at all times and ensuring transparency and accountability in our organisation and with everyone we do business with. Our commitment extends across our direct operations and throughout our supply chain relationships, reflecting our values as a trusted community florist.
Supplier Due Diligence
Our supply network is integral to delivering high-quality floral arrangements and services. To minimise risks associated with modern slavery, we conduct rigorous due diligence when selecting new suppliers and regularly review existing ones. This process includes:
- Assessing suppliers’ policies and practices concerning labour rights and ethical conduct
- Requiring suppliers to commit to upholding the same zero-tolerance standards as Brompton Flowers
- Ongoing monitoring and, where appropriate, requesting supporting documentation to confirm compliance
We immediately investigate and act upon any concerns raised regarding a supplier’s conduct. Continued partnership depends on robust adherence to our ethical standards.
Staff Awareness and Training
Brompton Flowers believes that staff awareness is vital in preventing modern slavery. We provide all team members, including those involved in recruitment and supplier management, with regular training so they can recognise potential indicators of human trafficking or forced labour. Our training covers:
- The definitions and signs of modern slavery
- Our reporting processes and available support channels
- Our expectations regarding transparency from colleagues and suppliers
By fostering an informed and vigilant team, we support early identification and reporting of any concerns.
Reporting Channels
We encourage all staff, suppliers, and external stakeholders to report any concerns they may have—confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Our internal reporting channels are accessible and regularly communicated. Any report made concerning modern slavery is immediately investigated with appropriate remedial action taken where necessary.
Annual Review
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and relevant. We take into account changes in legislation, best practices, and any lessons learned from reported incidents or supplier audits. Updates are communicated to the entire Brompton Flowers team and made available to our customers and business partners.
Our Responsibility as a Trusted Local Florist
As a trusted florist in the Brompton community, serving local households and businesses, we recognise that our actions reflect directly on the confidence our customers place in us. Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery is part of our broader responsibility to operate with integrity and ethical stewardship. Brompton Flowers remains unwavering in our stance against injustice and exploitation and will continue to lead by example within our sector.
This statement covers the period through the current financial year and will be updated following our scheduled annual review.
