As a trusted Sutton florist supporting local households and businesses, Sutton Florist recognises the importance of conducting our operations ethically and with the highest regard for human rights. We are committed to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms within our business and supply chains. This statement sets out the steps we are taking to mitigate risks and uphold our responsibilities to the community and those who contribute to our success.
Sutton Florist maintains a clear and uncompromising zero tolerance policy regarding any form of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced or child labour within our company or among our suppliers. We expect the same high standards from our contractors, suppliers, and business partners, and will not hesitate to act if any evidence of malpractice arises. This commitment runs through every aspect of our work—from sourcing flowers and materials to customer delivery and service.
Our supply chain is integral to the success and reputation of Sutton Florist. To uphold ethical standards, we conduct due diligence on all existing and potential suppliers. This process includes written supplier declarations, risk assessments, and regular reviews to ensure our suppliers do not engage in or support any form of modern slavery. We prioritise working with partners who share our values and demonstrate compliance with international human rights standards.
All Sutton Florist employees receive training and guidance to help them identify the risks and indications of modern slavery both within our business and in our supply chains. Through scheduled training sessions and ongoing internal communications, we equip our team with the knowledge and confidence to act if they suspect unethical practices. We reinforce the message that everyone has a responsibility to speak up and that their vigilance is crucial to sustaining an ethical workplace.
We encourage all staff, suppliers, and customers to report concerns about possible modern slavery or any unethical behaviour they may witness or suspect. Sutton Florist has established clear internal procedures for raising issues confidentially and without fear of reprisal. Reports are taken seriously and are handled with the utmost care and urgency by our senior management. When appropriate, external authorities are also notified to ensure robust investigations and actions are taken.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and relevant to our operations. We assess our policies, supplier practices, and employee awareness regularly, striving for continuous improvement. Sutton Florist is committed not only to complying with the law but to leading by example in promoting ethical business conduct.
Sutton Florist is privileged to serve the families, businesses, and organisations of Sutton. We believe that fostering trust and integrity in our work is essential to our ongoing relationship with the community. This statement reflects our dedication to maintaining the highest ethical standards and ensuring that our flowers, gifts, and services are delivered with respect for all individuals in our supply chain and beyond.
