As a trusted florist serving the Queensbury community, Flowers Queensbury recognises its responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and protect human rights within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to combatting modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking, ensuring that dignity and respect are at the heart of everything we do for our customers, suppliers, and staff.
Flowers Queensbury maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. We do not, under any circumstances, accept or condone the use of forced, bonded, or compulsory labour in any part of our business or that of our suppliers. We believe everyone has the right to be treated fairly and with respect and endeavour to create a business free from exploitation and abuse.
We carefully select and evaluate our suppliers to ensure they adhere to our ethical standards. Each potential supplier undergoes due diligence checks, including the requirement to confirm compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (where applicable) or equivalent legislation in their jurisdiction. We expect suppliers to provide transparent information about their own supply chains, employment practices, and steps taken to mitigate the risk of modern slavery. Our relationships with suppliers are regularly reviewed, and we reserve the right to terminate agreements where concerns arise.
We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks within our team. All staff receive training on identifying signs of exploitation and on the procedures for reporting any concerns. Resources are provided to ensure everyone understands the importance of ethical sourcing and how to contribute to a safe, respectful workplace. Continuous education and development form the foundation of our approach to prevention.
We actively encourage openness within our organisation and provide clear channels for staff, customers, and suppliers to raise concerns around modern slavery or unethical practices. All reports are handled seriously and sensitively, with appropriate action taken following investigation. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and foster a culture where individuals feel safe to speak up.
Every year, we review the effectiveness of our Modern Slavery Statement and related practices. This includes assessing our supply chain diligence, evaluating the effectiveness of our staff training, and considering feedback or incidents reported during the year. Where gaps or risks are identified, we implement improvements promptly and update our policies accordingly. Our leadership team is committed to driving these reviews and ensuring our approach evolves in line with best practice guidance.
Our Modern Slavery Statement forms part of our broader commitment to being a responsible and ethical Queensbury florist. We recognise the trust placed in us by local households and businesses and strive to ensure our floral services are rooted in respect, fairness, and integrity. Through vigilance and continuous improvement, we pledge to play an active role in eradicating exploitation from our industry and community.
