At Flowers Reigate, we believe in conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for the law. As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in Reigate, we recognize our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards. This Modern Slavery Statement demonstrates our zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and child exploitation throughout our own operations and those of our trusted suppliers.
We operate with a clear zero-tolerance policy toward slavery and human trafficking. This commitment underpins every aspect of our operations—from sourcing fresh flowers and supplies to serving our valued customers. Flowers Reigate strictly prohibits any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour in our business and in the supply chains with which we engage. Any breach of this policy by suppliers, partners, or staff will result in decisive action, up to and including termination of contracts or employment.
We are committed to conducting due diligence on all suppliers to ensure compliance with our standards. Whenever we engage a new supplier, we assess their practices through questionnaires, declarations, and, where appropriate, further investigation. Our procurement processes emphasise clear contractual obligations requiring all suppliers to operate in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act and uphold our values. Where risks are identified, Flowers Reigate seeks written confirmation of corrective actions, and reserves the right to review or discontinue relationships if concerns are not addressed satisfactorily.
Staff at Flowers Reigate receive training and guidance to help them recognise and prevent modern slavery. Training covers how modern slavery can manifest within the flower supply chain and provides practical advice on identifying warning signs of exploitation. We encourage our team to remain vigilant, share concerns, and uphold our organisational values at all times. Ongoing education ensures awareness remains high and aligns with our commitment to a slavery-free workplace.
We have clear procedures for staff and suppliers to report concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Staff are encouraged to share any suspicions about malpractice or unethical practice with management through confidential channels. We assure all staff and third parties that they may raise concerns without fear of retaliation or reprisal, and every report will be treated seriously and investigated thoroughly.
Our approach to fighting modern slavery is not static. At least annually, senior management reviews our processes, policies, and supply chain practices to evaluate effectiveness and identify improvements. We remain committed to updating staff training, strengthening supplier assessment, and adopting best practices as they evolve. Feedback from staff, customers, and partners is welcome and forms an integral part of our improvement strategy.
Flowers Reigate is proud to serve the Reigate community. We recognise that our reputation as a trusted florist carries both privilege and responsibility. We are dedicated to ensuring our business and supply chains reflect our values and the expectations of our community, with the aim of preventing modern slavery in all its forms. This statement will be reviewed and updated annually to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to ethical business practices.
