Our Zero Tolerance Policy
At Florist Hampton, we have a clear, zero tolerance policy on modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to every area of our operations—from our core floristry services to our work with suppliers and third-party partners. We expect all individuals and organizations associated with Florist Hampton to share our commitment to fairness, dignity, and human rights. Any breach of this policy will trigger immediate review and responsive action, which may include terminating supplier or employment relationships.
Supplier Due Diligence
Our commitment extends to our supply chain. Florist Hampton takes careful steps to ensure that we only work with reputable suppliers who demonstrate respect for ethical labor practices. As part of our due diligence process, we ask suppliers to confirm their compliance with all relevant anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. We review supplier actions regarding labor standards and reserve the right to seek additional assurances or conduct visits if required. Should there be any indication of non-compliance, we investigate promptly and act decisively, always prioritizing the welfare and rights of workers.

Ensuring our staff are equipped to recognise and prevent modern slavery is essential. All Florist Hampton personnel receive regular training on spotting potential signs of exploitation both within our business and across our supply chain. Training includes updates on relevant legislation, reporting procedures, and ethical sourcing practices. Our aim is to foster a vigilant, informed workplace culture where employees can identify risks and know how to respond appropriately.
Reporting Channels and Communication
We have established clear internal guidelines and channels for staff and suppliers to report any suspicions or concerns regarding modern slavery. We treat all reports with the utmost seriousness and confidentiality, investigating thoroughly and taking action as necessary. No individual will ever suffer retribution or disadvantage for raising a genuine concern about modern slavery at Florist Hampton.
