Kingston Florist upholds the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in all our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Kingston, we fully recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement details the steps we take to safeguard human rights and dignity across every part of our organisation.
We maintain a strict zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Kingston Florist will not knowingly engage with any entity or individual that participates in, condones, or fails to take adequate steps to prevent modern slavery. Upholding these principles is a condition of ongoing relationships with our suppliers and partners.
As part of our commitment, we conduct thorough due diligence on suppliers and partners. When onboarding new suppliers—whether for fresh flowers, sundries, or logistics—we seek to understand their employment practices and supply chain transparency. Existing suppliers are periodically reassessed to ensure continued compliance with our ethical standards. Where appropriate, we require contractual assurances of lawful and fair labour practices, and we reserve the right to terminate agreements if there is any evidence of non-compliance with anti-slavery laws.
All Kingston Florist employees receive regular training to identify potential signs of modern slavery or exploitation, whether within our business or along our supply chain. Training materials are refreshed annually to reflect the latest best practices and legislative requirements. By equipping our team with up-to-date knowledge, we empower them to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding our workplace and suppliers.
We are committed to fostering an open environment where concerns related to modern slavery can be raised without fear of retaliation. All staff can report suspected instances confidentially through our established internal channels. These concerns are promptly investigated in line with our company procedures, with findings reported to senior management for appropriate action. Kingston Florist further welcomes suppliers and stakeholders to raise concerns should any unethical practices be suspected. We treat all such reports with the utmost seriousness and thoroughness.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed every year to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness. Our review process takes into account legislative updates, evolving best practices, and feedback from team members. As an integral part of our corporate governance, the annual review helps us drive further improvements in tackling modern slavery and maintaining robust ethical standards throughout our operations.
Kingston Florist recognises our unique role as a business entrusted by local households and organisations. We are committed to building trust through transparency, responsibility, and care in everything we do—including protecting human rights. We believe that taking active steps to eliminate modern slavery is not only a legal obligation but a reflection of our core values as your chosen Kingston florist.
