As one of Kingston’s trusted florists serving households and businesses, Kingston Flowers recognises its ongoing responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards. Our commitment to the community extends beyond delivering beautiful floral arrangements—it also includes respect for human rights and the eradication of modern slavery in all its forms. This statement outlines our ongoing approach to addressing the risks of modern slavery within our business and supply chain in line with our community values.
Kingston Flowers operates a strict zero tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. We believe that everyone who works for or with Kingston Flowers deserves to do so freely, with dignity, and with fair treatment. Our business is built on trust, and we are committed to ensuring that our operations and supply chain do not contribute to the risk or perpetuation of modern slavery practices, including forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, or any form of human trafficking.
Our responsibility for upholding ethical standards extends through our supply chain. We select our suppliers and business partners with care, prioritising those who share our commitment to fair employment practices and human rights. Kingston Flowers expects all suppliers, whether local or international, to comply with all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. As part of our due diligence process, we require our suppliers to confirm adherence to these standards and, where appropriate, to provide assurances of their own compliance procedures. We are working continuously to improve and strengthen these processes to ensure higher levels of transparency and accountability.
All staff members at Kingston Flowers receive training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and to understand the importance of ethical business conduct. Training is updated regularly to reflect changes in legal obligations or best practices. This enables our team to remain vigilant and responsive, whether in the shop, on deliveries, or when liaising with third-party suppliers. We encourage our staff to take part in ongoing learning and to share any concerns they feel may arise in their day-to-day roles.
We maintain clear and accessible channels for staff, contractors, or suppliers to report any concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Reports can be made confidentially, without fear of retaliation or disadvantage. We are committed to investigating any concerns swiftly and taking corrective action wherever necessary. Our approach reinforces a culture of transparency and openness, which is vital to preventing exploitation.
Kingston Flowers reviews its Modern Slavery Statement, policies, and procedures annually to ensure they remain effective and reflect both evolving legislation and supply chain challenges. Each year we seek to improve our efforts, drawing insights from staff feedback, industry best practice, and new information from our partners. Through continuous improvement, we reaffirm our zero tolerance approach and ensure we continue to meet our ethical responsibilities.
At Kingston Flowers, we understand that our reputation as a trusted Kingston florist comes with obligations to our customers, staff, suppliers, and the broader community. This statement reflects our continuing commitment to preventing modern slavery, safeguarding human rights, and operating with the integrity our community deserves.
