As a trusted florist in Beckenham, Beckenham Flowers recognises our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our business. We are committed to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation throughout our supply chain and within our own operations. This statement outlines the actions we take to ensure we deliver products and services responsibly to local households and businesses.
Beckenham Flowers maintains a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. Our dedication to ethical business is reflected in our company policies and procedures, which make it clear to staff, suppliers, and contractors that unethical practices will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Should any form of exploitation be found within our sphere of business influence, we are committed to taking swift and decisive action.
We carefully select our suppliers, including flower growers, packaging providers, and support service partners, through a thorough due diligence process. We assess each supplier’s practices and request information about their approaches to tackling modern slavery and labour exploitation. Our procurement teams are instructed to favour suppliers who provide evidence of ethical trading, fair worker treatment, and transparent operations. Where a risk of modern slavery is identified, we work with the supplier to address and resolve issues, or alternatively, we will cease to do business with them.
All employees of Beckenham Flowers receive regular training designed to raise awareness of modern slavery and equip them with the knowledge to identify any potential warning signs. This training covers not just detecting exploitative practices, but also the importance of ethical conduct in all dealings with colleagues, customers, and suppliers. Staff are encouraged to remain vigilant and to understand the real-world impact of modern slavery in supply chains and service industries.
To ensure transparency and prompt action, we provide clear channels for employees, suppliers, and members of the public to report concerns related to modern slavery or unethical conduct. All reports are treated confidentially, investigated thoroughly, and handled without risk of retaliation. Our management team takes whistleblowing seriously and acts urgently to ensure that issues are resolved in line with our policy.
Beckenham Flowers is dedicated to regularly reviewing and updating our modern slavery prevention policies. Each year, we conduct an assessment of our business activities and supply chain to identify evolving risks and implement improvements. Progress is monitored at the most senior level to ensure that our approach remains robust, effective, and fit for purpose as our business grows and the regulatory landscape changes.
Serving local households and businesses means earning their trust through ethical action and transparency. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our commitment not only to global human rights but also to the values of our community. We will continue to act as a responsible business partner in Beckenham, providing beautiful flowers with integrity and care for people at every stage of our supply chain.
