As a respected florist serving the Osidge area, Flowers Osidge recognises its duty to operate with integrity and uphold human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our commitments and actions to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our own business operations and throughout our supply chain. We understand the importance of ethical business practices and aim to safeguard the welfare and dignity of all individuals associated with our organisation.
Flowers Osidge maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who share our values and who operate in line with applicable legislation. At every level of our organization and supply chain, we refuse to tolerate any practices that violate the fundamental rights of people.
We recognise that risks of modern slavery can exist at multiple points in the floral and horticultural supply chain. To mitigate these risks, we undertake thorough due diligence prior to engaging with new suppliers and regularly review existing relationships. Our supplier assessments involve investigations into their employment practices, compliance with labour laws, and commitment to fair treatment of workers. Where possible, we request suppliers to provide evidence of their own Modern Slavery Statements or ethical sourcing standards. If a supplier fails to meet our requirements, we reserve the right to terminate the relationship.
Education is essential for the identification and prevention of modern slavery. We ensure employees, especially those involved in procurement and supplier management, receive appropriate training to understand the signs of modern slavery and their role in preventing it. This training also covers the appropriate actions to take if any potential risks or incidents are identified. By empowering our team with knowledge, we reinforce a culture of vigilance and responsibility.
Flowers Osidge encourages a transparent and open environment where staff and suppliers are empowered to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Our procedures allow for the reporting of any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery either directly to line management or through established internal channels. Every report is treated seriously, investigated thoroughly, and addressed promptly. We are committed to protecting the identity and rights of whistleblowers throughout these processes.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current and effective, reflecting both legislative developments and best practices in ethical sourcing. As part of our review process, we assess our internal policies, supplier engagement protocols, and staff training provisions to drive continuous improvement. Lessons learned from past experiences and industry developments are incorporated into our approach each year.
As a trusted Osidge florist dedicated to serving local households and businesses, we are aware of the vital role we play within our community. Upholding human rights and fighting modern slavery are not only legal and ethical imperatives but also honour our responsibility as a business that our customers and neighbours can trust. We strive to reflect these values in every aspect of our operations and supply chain, ensuring that the flowers we deliver are sourced and arranged with integrity and respect.
