At Knightsbridge Flowers, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Knightsbridge, we are dedicated to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking play no part in our operations or supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we take to prevent these issues and our ongoing commitment to an ethical and transparent business environment.
Knightsbridge Flowers maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We firmly believe that everyone working with or for our business should be treated fairly, with dignity and respect. We hold ourselves and our partners to the highest standards, and expect complete compliance with all relevant legislation, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Our supply chain largely comprises growers, wholesalers, and logistics providers in the floral industry. We require all our suppliers to declare that their own businesses, as well as their supply chains, are free from modern slavery or exploitative practices. Knightsbridge Flowers conducts rigorous due diligence before engaging with new suppliers, including ethical sourcing questionnaires and contractual obligations to uphold our values. Where possible, we seek verification of compliance with national and international standards regarding labour rights.
We regularly review our existing supplier relationships to seek assurance that our standards continue to be upheld. Should any concerns arise regarding a supplier’s conduct, we undertake investigations and reserve the right to terminate contracts where breaches are identified and not rectified immediately.
We understand that awareness is a crucial factor in the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking. All staff at Knightsbridge Flowers receive training to help them recognise the signs of exploitation and communicate our zero tolerance policy. New joiners are introduced to our ethical standards as part of their induction, and ongoing training sessions ensure that our entire team remains vigilant and informed about the risks and reporting mechanisms associated with modern slavery.
Knightsbridge Flowers encourages anyone—employees, suppliers, or members of the public—to report suspected cases of modern slavery or unethical behaviour in our business or supply chain. We are committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for raising concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated with the utmost seriousness, investigated thoroughly, and action is taken where necessary. Clear internal guidelines are in place for escalating concerns, and we foster a culture where transparency and accountability are paramount.
We review this statement and our approach to tackling modern slavery annually, or more frequently if required, to ensure the continued effectiveness of our policies and procedures. We assess our supply chain risks, monitor the impact of our initiatives, and update staff training to reflect new challenges and best practices. Feedback from stakeholders is welcomed to help us strengthen our efforts and take meaningful steps towards eradicating modern slavery from our industry.
As a longstanding Knightsbridge florist, we are conscious of the trust local households and businesses place in us. We believe that acting responsibly on issues like modern slavery is essential to maintaining this trust and contributing positively to our community. Knightsbridge Flowers remains resolute in our commitment to ethical conduct, transparency, and respect for human rights in all our business practices.
