Modern Slavery Statement for Florist Stroud Green
Our Stance Against Modern Slavery
At Florist Stroud Green, we believe that ethical practices form the foundation of our business and the trust we share with our valued customers in the local community. Modern slavery, including forced labour and human trafficking, has no place within our operations or in those of our suppliers. We are dedicated to upholding a work environment that champions human rights and dignified, fair employment, and we expect the same unwavering commitment from everyone connected with us.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. No employee, supplier, contractor, or business partner is permitted to knowingly engage, support, or participate in activities connected to modern slavery. We actively monitor our business and supply chains to ensure this principle is robustly upheld. Any breaches of this policy result in decisive corrective action, including termination of individual or supplier relationships where necessary.
Supplier Due Diligence
Florist Stroud Green recognises the importance of a responsible supply chain and has implemented clear due diligence processes when engaging with new and existing suppliers. Before entering any contract, suppliers are assessed for their compliance with labour standards, human rights laws, and ethical sourcing practices. Ongoing relationships are subject to regular review, and we reserve the right to suspend or cease partnerships with those unable to demonstrate continual improvements or necessary standards in these critical areas.
Staff Training and Awareness
To support this commitment, all members of our team receive training to recognise indicators of modern slavery and understand the importance of ethical business conduct. This empowers every individual at Florist Stroud Green to be vigilant and proactive in identifying and reporting any suspicions, whether they concern internal practices or those of our external partners. Refresher training and updates are provided each year in line with evolving legislation and best practice guidance.
Reporting Channels
We actively foster a culture where staff are encouraged to report concerns regarding modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Clear, confidential reporting channels are in place for staff to raise issues without fear of retaliation. All reports are treated seriously and investigated diligently, with appropriate remedial action taken where required to protect those at risk and uphold our ethical commitments.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to rigorous annual review by our management team. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, the transparency of our supply chains, and the sufficiency of our staff training. We also keep abreast of legislative changes and industry best practices to ensure our approach remains current and robust. Feedback from staff and stakeholders is considered a vital component in our pursuit of continual improvement.
Our Responsibility in Stroud Green
As a trusted florist serving households and local businesses across Stroud Green, we recognise our responsibility to act with integrity and set high standards for ethical business practice. Our actions contribute to a safe, just, and sustainable community.
