At Florist Lee, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout the local community. We uphold ethical standards in all facets of our operations, and we are resolute in our zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out the steps Florist Lee has taken—and will continue to take—to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not present in our business or supply chains.
Modern slavery, which includes forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and exploitation, is wholly unacceptable within our business and industry. Florist Lee enforces a strict zero tolerance policy for any form of modern slavery or unethical labour practices. This policy is at the foundation of how we operate and guides our relationships with employees, partners, and suppliers. We are committed to creating, promoting, and maintaining a safe and respectful working environment for everyone involved with our business.
We carefully select and review our suppliers to ensure compliance with our ethical standards. Florist Lee employs a robust due diligence process to assess and monitor risks within our supply chain. We expect all suppliers to uphold the same commitment to eradicating modern slavery, including the implementation of sustainable and fair labour practices. Our due diligence activities include supplier self-assessments, contractual requirements for compliance, and periodic site visits wherever feasible. Any supplier found to be violating our standards faces immediate review and, where necessary, the termination of our relationship.
Our people are at the centre of our success. Florist Lee equips all employees—whether customer-facing or operational—with training to help them recognise and respond to risks of modern slavery. Training sessions include guidance on how to spot the signs of exploitation and the appropriate steps to take if concerns are identified. By fostering a culture of vigilance and accountability, we empower our staff to be proactive guardians of our ethical commitments.
We actively encourage open dialogue and the reporting of any suspicions or incidents related to modern slavery. Florist Lee provides accessible, confidential mechanisms for our staff, suppliers, and third parties to raise any concerns, without fear of reprisal or discrimination. All reports are taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and acted upon promptly in accordance with our procedures. We are resolute in ensuring transparency, protection for whistleblowers, and tangible follow-up on all reports received.
Florist Lee is committed to the ongoing review and improvement of our modern slavery measures. Our policies, due diligence processes, and training programmes are evaluated annually to ensure they remain effective, up to date, and fit for purpose. We welcome feedback from employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to help us strengthen our approach and further align with industry best practices.
As a florist deeply rooted in the community, Florist Lee knows the trust placed in us by households and businesses. We take our ethical obligations seriously, striving not only to provide beautiful blooms, but also to serve as an example of integrity in our industry. This Modern Slavery Statement affirms our dedication to protecting the rights and dignity of all people we interact with, now and into the future.
