As a trusted florist based in Stanmore, proudly serving local households and businesses, Florist Stanmore recognises our core responsibility to operate ethically and to promote a transparent, fair supply chain. Modern slavery, encompassing slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking, has no place in our organisation or within our supply networks. This statement outlines the steps we take as a business to mitigate risks of modern slavery and maintain our role as a responsible service provider in our community.
Florist Stanmore adopts a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and all forms of exploitation. This policy is supported at every level of our organisation, from management to frontline staff. We expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers, and business partners. This unwavering approach underpins all aspects of our procurement, business operations, and partnership decisions.
We recognise the importance of understanding and managing risks throughout our supply chain. Before entering into contracts, Florist Stanmore undertakes appropriate due diligence on all suppliers. This includes assessing suppliers’ compliance with relevant labour laws and their own anti-slavery measures. Where possible, we require written confirmations from suppliers regarding their anti-slavery policies and practices. Periodic reviews help ensure our suppliers remain aligned with our ethical values and legal responsibilities.
Staff at Florist Stanmore are regularly informed about the risks of modern slavery through annual training sessions. These sessions cover how to identify the signs of modern slavery, report potential concerns, and understand the business’s responsibilities. Training is reviewed and updated to reflect any changes in guidance or legislation, reinforcing our culture of vigilance and transparency.
We are committed to maintaining an open environment where concerns about modern slavery or exploitation can be safely raised. All employees, contractors, and external stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicions or incidents through designated channels within the business. All reports are treated confidentially, and concerns are thoroughly investigated by management. There is a clear assurance that anyone raising genuine concerns will not suffer retaliation or detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith.
To ensure the continued effectiveness of our approach, Florist Stanmore formally reviews this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated policies on an annual basis. We monitor industry best practices and make necessary updates to our procedures, processes, and training. This helps us remain proactive in our efforts to prevent modern slavery in all forms, both within our own operations and those of our partners.
We are deeply aware that our ethical obligations extend beyond compliance. As a longstanding Stanmore florist, we strive to create a positive impact, supporting the wellbeing and rights of everyone involved in our supply chain. By upholding robust anti-slavery processes, we demonstrate our commitment to the highest standards of integrity and social responsibility to all households and businesses we serve.
