Florist Lambeth is wholly committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every part of our business and supply chain. We recognise the responsibility we hold as a trusted Lambeth florist serving households and local businesses, and we take this duty seriously. Modern slavery is an abhorrent crime, and we will not tolerate it within our operations or from those who supply us. This statement outlines the steps we take to uphold ethical employment practices and ensure our work remains free from exploitation.
We understand that risk of modern slavery can hide at every stage in the supply chain. To address this, we conduct thorough vetting procedures before engaging new suppliers. Potential suppliers must confirm compliance with legislation prohibiting modern slavery and demonstrate traceability in their own sourcing. Our procurement team reviews supplier policies and, where required, requests supporting documentation. Regular supplier risk assessments are conducted to highlight and investigate any potential vulnerabilities or red flags, with contracts including clear clauses regarding compliance expectations.
Our staff are at the heart of our commitment against modern slavery. Every member of the Florist Lambeth team receives training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding our internal policies. Training is refreshed at regular intervals and made accessible to new team members during induction. By raising awareness, we empower our staff to identify and prevent unethical practices—whether in our shop or within our partnerships—helping to safeguard both employees and customers.
Florist Lambeth encourages a culture of transparency and openness. We have clear, confidential reporting mechanisms that enable staff, suppliers, and customers to raise concerns if they suspect modern slavery or unethical behaviour. These channels safeguard the anonymity of the individual, should they wish, and support a non-retaliatory environment. Every report is treated with urgency and discretion, and investigated according to our policy, ensuring a swift, sensitive response to any suspected instances of exploitation.
Combating modern slavery is an ongoing commitment requiring active vigilance. Florist Lambeth reviews all controls, processes, and this statement annually to ensure we continue to meet our obligations and adapt to emerging risks. We keep up to date with best practices, regulatory updates, and changes within floral supply chains. Lessons learned from investigations or feedback are used to further strengthen our due diligence, education, and reporting frameworks.
This Modern Slavery Statement is a reflection of our responsibility as a respected florist within the Lambeth community. We supply local households and businesses not only with beautiful flowers, but with the assurance that our products and practices are built on respect for human rights. By maintaining high standards and promoting ethical conduct, Florist Lambeth strives to set an example for our industry, our neighbours, and our valued customers.
