At Flowers Hatton, we are resolutely committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all aspects of our business operations. We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in any form. As a trusted Hatton florist serving households and local businesses, we understand our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of respect for human rights. Our commitment to this principle influences every decision we make and every relationship we build throughout our supply chain.
We recognise that modern slavery can occur at any stage of the supply chain. To prevent this, Flowers Hatton has established robust due diligence processes to assess and manage potential risks related to modern slavery and human trafficking. Our suppliers are carefully selected, and we require each one to confirm their compliance with our ethical standards and relevant legal obligations. We review supplier practices regularly and communicate our zero tolerance stance clearly, ensuring that suppliers and partners understand and adhere to our expectations.
Should evidence of modern slavery or unethical practices be identified within our supply chain, we commit to taking decisive action, which may include terminating business relationships and reporting concerns to the relevant authorities.
The success of our anti-slavery initiatives relies heavily on the understanding and participation of everyone within Flowers Hatton. To this end, we provide comprehensive training for our staff, raising awareness of the risks and signs of modern slavery, as well as the importance of ethical sourcing and conduct. Regular workshops highlight how to identify red flags, the importance of vigilance, and the procedures for reporting concerns.
Ongoing education empowers our team to be observant, responsible, and proactive in supporting our policy commitments. By fostering a culture of transparency and ethical responsibility, we help ensure that modern slavery has no place in our organisation or anywhere within our influence.
We are committed to creating and maintaining a safe environment in which our staff, suppliers, and the wider community feel encouraged and able to raise concerns regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. Flowers Hatton has established clear reporting channels so that any concerns or suspicions can be reported in confidence, without fear of retaliation.
Each report received is taken seriously and is handled sensitively. We conduct thorough investigations and take appropriate actions to address any verified issues, working closely with stakeholders and relevant authorities when necessary.
Our Modern Slavery Statement is subject to annual review by senior management. We recognise that vigilance is essential, and we are committed to continually evaluating and enhancing our policies, training programmes, and supplier engagement processes.
This annual review enables us to adapt our approach in line with legislative updates, emerging best practices, and insights from ongoing risk assessments. We actively seek feedback from our staff and suppliers to ensure that our stance remains both practical and robust.
Flowers Hatton acknowledges that, as a prominent florist in Hatton, our duty goes beyond delivering beautiful flowers; it extends to ensuring that our business and supply chain remain free of modern slavery and exploitation. Local households and businesses trust us not only for quality products and service but also for our integrity. We embrace this responsibility and remain unwavering in our commitment to safeguarding ethical standards throughout our operations.
This statement reflects our determination to prevent modern slavery, and we will continue to strive for transparency, accountability, and improvement in all that we do.
