Modern Slavery Statement for Cranham Flowers

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

At Cranham Flowers, we are fully committed to operating ethically, with integrity and transparency in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving Cranham's local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to act with respect for fundamental human rights. We maintain a zero tolerance stance toward modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking within our business and throughout our supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Cranham Flowers enforces a clear zero tolerance approach to modern slavery. We require all members of our team, contractors, and suppliers to adhere to high standards of ethical conduct. In any instance where modern slavery risks are identified, we are committed to taking swift and decisive action to rectify the situation, up to and including terminating relationships with offending parties.

Supplier Due Diligence Processes

We recognise that our obligation to address modern slavery extends beyond our direct operations to our network of suppliers. We carry out thorough due diligence on all suppliers before entering into business relationships. Suppliers are required to demonstrate their own commitment to eradicating modern slavery and to comply with legal standards and Cranham Flowers’ policies. We assess risk factors, review ethical practices, and ask suppliers to attest that their operations—and those of their own suppliers—are free from modern slavery and exploitation. Ongoing monitoring ensures continued compliance.

Staff Training and Awareness

All Cranham Flowers employees undergo training to understand the risks and signs of modern slavery in the flower and horticulture industry. We provide regular refresher sessions so that both long-standing and new staff are equipped to recognise and report any suspicion of unethical practices. Our staff are encouraged to stay vigilant, not only within our workplace but also in their engagement with suppliers and contractors.

Reporting Channels

We offer open and accessible reporting channels for all staff members, suppliers, or third parties who wish to raise genuine concerns about modern slavery or unethical behaviour associated with our business. Reports can be raised confidentially and without fear of reprisal. We treat every concern seriously and investigate promptly, ensuring proper support and protection for whistleblowers.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Cranham Flowers reviews this Modern Slavery Statement annually to reflect new risks, legal requirements, and organizational changes. We actively seek feedback from staff and suppliers to strengthen our policies and practices. Each year, we evaluate our effectiveness and update training, supplier assessments, and reporting mechanisms as required to improve our approach and maintain our high ethical standards.

Our Responsibility as a Local Florist

As a longstanding part of the Cranham community, we know our clients trust us not only for quality flowers but also for ethical business values. This statement underpins our responsibility to ensure that our operations respect human dignity and contribute positively to the wider community. We remain dedicated to building lasting trust by applying robust measures to prevent modern slavery at every level of our business.
