At Chelsea Flowers, we uphold the highest ethical standards across our floral business. Modern slavery, in the form of forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation, has no place within our organisation or supply chain. We have a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, and we are committed to acting with integrity and transparency in all our business dealings. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility as a trusted Chelsea florist serving local households, businesses, and our wider community.
We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any stage of the supply chain. To mitigate these risks, Chelsea Flowers has established a robust due diligence process for selecting, reviewing, and partnering with suppliers. Our process includes assessments and declarations to ensure suppliers adhere to our ethical standards and the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We require suppliers to demonstrate a commitment to eliminating forced labour and exploitation. Any supplier unwilling or unable to comply with our standards is not engaged for business.
Our staff members are our first line of defence in identifying and preventing modern slavery. Chelsea Flowers provides regular training sessions and resources for all employees, ensuring they understand how to spot the signs of modern slavery and report concerns. We make certain that all staff are informed of their rights and responsibilities, and can recognise inappropriate or exploitative behaviour both internally and within our supply chain network.
We encourage a culture of openness and accountability throughout our business. Any employee, supplier, or stakeholder who suspects or witnesses behaviour inconsistent with our zero tolerance approach is urged to raise their concerns. We have internal reporting channels that allow for confidential reporting without fear of repercussions. All concerns are investigated thoroughly and promptly, and, where appropriate, reported to the relevant authorities for further action.
Chelsea Flowers undertakes an annual review of its policies, procedures, and supply chain practices to respond proactively to new challenges in the fight against modern slavery. We assess the effectiveness of our measures through audits, staff feedback, and ongoing dialogue with suppliers. This allows us to refine our approach and ensure we meet or exceed current legal and ethical requirements. Our commitment is to constant improvement in protecting human rights across all aspects of our business.
Chelsea Flowers is proud to serve the Chelsea community and beyond, guided by principles of fairness, dignity, and respect. We recognise our role in safeguarding those who contribute to our business and the lives touched by our flowers. Our modern slavery statement is reviewed and updated annually to reflect our continued dedication to ethical business practices and the communities we serve.
