Kensington Flowers recognizes its responsibility as a trusted florist in Kensington, serving local households and businesses, to uphold the highest ethical standards in all areas of our operations. We are unwavering in our commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking wherever we operate and throughout our supply chains. This statement sets out the steps we have taken and will continue to take in support of this important goal.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to our own business and to all those we engage with, including suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any violation of this policy is treated as a serious matter and will lead to appropriate action, including the termination of relationships where necessary.
Kensington Flowers sources high-quality flowers, plants, and materials both locally and internationally. To ensure our supply chain remains free from modern slavery risks, we conduct due diligence on all prospective suppliers. This process includes: conducting risk assessments based on location, type of product, and supply chain complexity; requiring suppliers to confirm their own commitment to anti-slavery practices; and including anti-slavery obligations within our supplier agreements. Regular reviews and spot checks further support compliance.
We recognise our staff play a vital role in identifying and preventing modern slavery. Accordingly, we provide staff with training to raise awareness of modern slavery risks and indicators, tailored to the florist industry and wider supply chains. Employees are made aware of their responsibilities and are encouraged to be vigilant and report any concerns, ensuring that our commitment is upheld across all levels of the business.
We are committed to fostering an open and transparent environment. All staff, suppliers, and those with whom we do business are encouraged to report any concerns relating to modern slavery. Clear internal reporting channels are in place, ensuring concerns can be raised confidentially, without fear of retaliation. Every report is treated seriously, investigated promptly, and appropriate action is taken in all cases.
Kensington Flowers is dedicated to continuous improvement in the fight against modern slavery. This statement, along with supporting policies and practices, is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and to incorporate any new regulatory requirements or best practices. Updates and outcomes from these reviews are communicated across the organisation.
Operating at the heart of our community, we understand that our responsibilities extend beyond beautiful floral arrangements. We are dedicated to conducting our business in an ethical, transparent, and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our ongoing commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of all individuals within our company and wider supply chains, ensuring we retain the trust of the local households and businesses we proudly serve.
This statement has been approved by the management of Kensington Flowers and will be reviewed and updated annually to ensure continued relevance and effectiveness.
