Modern Slavery Statement - Florist Stoke Newington
Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
Florist Stoke Newington proudly serves the local community, providing quality floral arrangements to households and businesses across Stoke Newington. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. Modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and servitude, has no place in our organisation or supply chains. We are dedicated to upholding the highest standards in combating modern slavery and ensuring ethical practices throughout our operations.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We operate a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy is embedded into our business ethos and applies to all aspects of our operations. We expect the same high standards from all suppliers, contractors, and other business partners. Any form of modern slavery identified will result in immediate action, up to and including termination of the business relationship.
Supplier Due Diligence
Florist Stoke Newington understands that modern slavery risks can be present within the supply chain, particularly in industries such as agriculture and logistics. We undertake thorough due diligence when establishing new supplier relationships. This includes:
- Requesting information regarding supplier ethical policies and practices.
- Seeking confirmations from suppliers that they adhere to applicable laws related to modern slavery and child labour.
- Reviewing supplier track records and conducting risk assessments, particularly where goods originate from regions with identified higher risks.
Our agreements with suppliers include expectations and requirements regarding the prevention of modern slavery, and we reserve the right to terminate agreements where these standards are not met.
Staff Training and Awareness
All Florist Stoke Newington staff receive regular training on the risks and indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. Staff are trained to recognise early warning signs in suppliers, contractors, and third-party relationships. We believe an informed and vigilant team is critical to upholding our zero tolerance policy and ensuring continuous vigilance throughout our daily operations.
Reporting Channels
We provide a clear and accessible channel for staff and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions relating to modern slavery, unethical practices, or exploitation. Reports can be made in confidence and without fear of retaliation. Every report is taken seriously, thoroughly investigated, and served with appropriate action. We encourage an open culture where anyone can raise concerns regarding ethical conduct or potential wrongdoing.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it reflects our current practices, legislation, and risks related to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to continuous improvement of our policies and procedures and will adapt our approach as required to enhance protections throughout our business and supply chain.
