As a trusted florist serving the Woolwich community, Woolwich Florist acknowledges our duty to act responsibly and ethically in all aspects of our business. We are entirely committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we are taking to ensure that slavery and human trafficking do not occur in any part of our business or through our suppliers, reflecting both our legal and moral responsibilities as a reputable local business serving households and businesses across Woolwich.
Woolwich Florist has a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We do not condone, accept, or overlook any behaviour or conditions that may contribute to the mistreatment or exploitation of individuals. Our policies are designed to protect the dignity and rights of everyone who provides goods or services to us, either directly or indirectly.
We understand that the risk of modern slavery can be present at various stages in the supply chain, especially within the horticultural and logistics sectors. To minimise these risks, we conduct thorough due diligence when engaging with all suppliers, both local and international. We require our suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws, and we expect them to maintain high ethical standards consistent with our own. Where necessary, we ask suppliers to provide further information regarding their own sourcing and labour practices.
We provide regular training for our staff to ensure that everyone understands the indications of modern slavery and their role in reporting potential issues. By raising awareness among our team, we foster a workplace culture that refuses to tolerate any form of exploitation. Our aim is for all employees to be vigilant and proactive in helping to prevent modern slavery from taking place in any part of our operations or supply network.
Woolwich Florist encourages openness and respects the rights of anyone to raise concerns about possible unethical conduct. Staff and suppliers are able to raise grievances or suspicions confidentially. All reports are taken seriously, treated with appropriate sensitivity, and are investigated thoroughly and fairly. The Directors are responsible for ensuring that procedures are followed and that remedial action is taken where necessary.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and compliance with legislation. As part of the review, we reflect on our policies, practices, and supply chains, making improvements wherever necessary. Each year, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting transparency, dignity, and respect for human rights in every area of our business.
We believe that ethical practices are fundamental to the trust placed in us by the Woolwich community. Whether we are providing beautiful arrangements for households, events, or businesses, our customers can have confidence that Woolwich Florist is dedicated to conducting business in a way that upholds human dignity at all times. This Modern Slavery Statement is a vital part of our pledge to operate as a responsible and trusted local florist.
