As a trusted Fortis Green florist dedicated to serving local households and businesses, Fortis Green Flowers upholds the highest ethical standards across every aspect of our operations. We recognize the grave global impact of modern slavery and human trafficking, and are fully committed to acting in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. This statement outlines the policies and measures we have implemented to combat modern slavery within our organization and through our supplier relationships.
Modern slavery, in all its forms—including forced labour, servitude, child labour, human trafficking, and exploitation—has no place at Fortis Green Flowers. We maintain a stringent zero tolerance policy across our direct business operations and within our supply chain. We expect our team members, suppliers, and partners to adhere strictly to our ethical standards and act in accordance with all relevant legislation regarding employment practices.
We understand that the complexities of modern supply chains can present increased risks of unethical practices. To mitigate these risks, Fortis Green Flowers has established a comprehensive due diligence process concerning both new and existing suppliers. We assess all suppliers based on their labour practices, provenance of goods, and their own anti-slavery measures. We require formal assurances of compliance with modern slavery laws and actively monitor for any emerging risks or red flags that could indicate unethical conduct. Where areas for improvement are identified, we support our suppliers to align with our values or reserve the right to terminate non-compliant relationships.
Awareness is fundamental to prevention. All Fortis Green Flowers employees, from management to our frontline team, receive regular training on modern slavery risks and warning signs. This empowers our staff to recognize, prevent, and report any incidences of concern—whether within our company or within our supplier network. Our training is regularly updated to reflect best practices and the evolving landscape of modern slavery risks.
Fortis Green Flowers fosters an open environment where employees, suppliers, and customers are encouraged to report suspected incidences of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. We provide clear and confidential internal reporting channels for concerns to be raised without fear of reprisal. All concerns reported are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and dealt with in accordance with established procedures.
This statement and our anti-slavery measures are reviewed annually to ensure ongoing effectiveness. We remain fully committed to refining our policies, procedures, and training in line with new guidance and in response to any changes in our operations or supply chain. We seek to learn from best practices within our sector and are resolute in our continual improvement.
As a long-standing floral business in Fortis Green, we understand our role as a trusted member of the local community. Our commitment to transparency and integrity is paramount in all our dealings with households, businesses, suppliers, and employees. We take seriously the responsibility entrusted to us by our customers and neighbours, ensuring that every flower and service provided is underpinned by our ethical values.
This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the Fortis Green Flowers leadership team and will be reviewed and updated each year as part of our ongoing pledge to end modern slavery in all its forms.
