Florist West Norwood is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business, which includes a robust approach to addressing the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and our supply chain. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of West Norwood, we fully recognise our responsibility to act with integrity and to ensure our services and products are free from exploitation.
We have adopted a strict policy of zero tolerance towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This means that any form of such unethical or illegal behaviour is absolutely not acceptable within any part of our operations or supply chain. All employees, contractors, and suppliers must adhere to this policy, ensuring that human rights and fair working conditions are respected at every level.
At Florist West Norwood, we are aware that the flower industry can be susceptible to unethical practices. Therefore, we conduct careful due diligence when selecting and working with all our suppliers. This includes assessing their compliance with relevant laws, their employment practices, and their own approach to combatting modern slavery. We expect our suppliers to have similar zero tolerance policies in place and reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who fall short of our ethical standards.
We believe that knowledge and vigilance are key to preventing modern slavery. Our staff receive regular training on how to identify the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, and on the procedures to follow should they suspect any unethical behaviour, either within our organisation or in our supply chain. By fostering a culture of openness and responsibility, we empower our team to act promptly and appropriately.
Florist West Norwood encourages all staff and suppliers to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking through our established confidential reporting channels. We take all concerns seriously and ensure that they are investigated thoroughly and promptly, with appropriate action taken where necessary. No individual raising a concern in good faith will be penalised or suffer any detriment as a result.
Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and up-to-date, reflecting any emerging risks or legislative changes. We continually evaluate our processes, supplier relationships, and staff training programmes to improve our ability to identify and address potential risks of modern slavery within our business and supply chain.
This Modern Slavery Statement represents our wider commitment to ethical business as a cornerstone of the West Norwood community. We take seriously our position as a reliable local florist trusted by households and businesses alike, and we strive to ensure our practices consistently honour this trust.
