At Flowers Tring, we are committed to conducting our business with the highest ethical standards. Modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation, violates fundamental human rights and is unacceptable in any form. As a trusted florist serving Tring’s households and businesses, we affirm our zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our operations and supply chains.
We recognise that the global floriculture industry may be vulnerable to exploitative practices, particularly in regions where labour standards may not be rigorously enforced. Therefore, Flowers Tring undertakes comprehensive due diligence on all suppliers before establishing any business relationship. This assessment includes queries on working conditions, labour policies, and evidence of anti-slavery measures. We prioritise working with suppliers who demonstrate transparency, ethical sourcing, and compliance with local and international laws regarding labour rights.
Our contracts with suppliers explicitly prohibit the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour. We expect our suppliers to uphold similar values and commit to eradicating modern slavery practices within their own businesses.
Empowering our staff is essential in preventing modern slavery. We provide regular training to all team members so they can recognise indicators of exploitation or unethical practices, both within Flowers Tring and externally among suppliers. Training materials explain the types of behaviour and circumstances to look out for and encourage vigilance in identifying any concerns related to modern slavery and human trafficking.
We foster a working environment that encourages open dialogue and the reporting of concerns, supporting staff to act with integrity and in the best interests of those potentially at risk.
Flowers Tring provides safe and accessible reporting mechanisms for staff and external parties who wish to raise suspicions or provide information regarding modern slavery. Channels are available for reporting anonymously if desired. All reports are treated seriously and investigated thoroughly, with appropriate action taken where necessary. There is no tolerance for retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith.
These processes form part of our wider commitment to accountability and transparency, helping us to take decisive steps in the event that risks or incidents are discovered within our own operations or supply chain.
We believe that vigilance against modern slavery requires ongoing effort and reflection. Flowers Tring’s Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure that our policies, procedures, and practices remain effective and relevant to potential risks within our sector. This review includes an assessment of supply chain risks, updates to staff training, and improvements to reporting processes. Where necessary, we make enhancements to strengthen our ability to prevent, detect, and address incidences of modern slavery.
As a respected florist serving Tring’s local households and businesses, it is our responsibility to uphold robust standards of human rights and ethical trading. We are committed to continuous improvement and to playing our part in eradicating modern slavery from our sector and community.
