At Florist Woolwich, we serve as a dedicated local florist for households and businesses across the Woolwich community. We recognise our responsibility not only to our customers and employees, but also to the wider community to help eradicate modern slavery in all its forms. This statement outlines the steps Florist Woolwich takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains.
Florist Woolwich maintains a strict zero tolerance policy regarding any form of modern slavery or human trafficking, whether within our own workforce or in our supply chain. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in our business relationships. Any evidence or suspicion of modern slavery will be treated seriously and dealt with swiftly, including potential termination of business relationships with offending parties.
Our commitment extends beyond our own operations to the suppliers and service providers with whom we partner. We conduct thorough due diligence of our existing and prospective suppliers, requesting information about their labour practices and seeking assurances that their operations comply with all applicable UK laws and international standards on labour rights and human trafficking. We expect our suppliers to operate in a manner that upholds human dignity and to take similar steps within their own supply chains.
We recognise the vital role our team plays in safeguarding against modern slavery. To ensure our staff understand the signs of modern slavery and are empowered to take appropriate action, Florist Woolwich delivers regular training. This training covers how to recognise indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking, how our policies prevent exploitation, and the appropriate channels for reporting any concerns. We strive to foster a workplace culture where ethical behaviour is championed and all individuals are encouraged to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.
Florist Woolwich has established clear and confidential channels for reporting any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery within our business or supply chain. Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to raise concerns promptly, understanding that all reports will be treated in the strictest confidence and investigated thoroughly. We take all allegations seriously and commit to acting decisively in response.
Our commitment to addressing the risk of modern slavery is ongoing. Each year, Florist Woolwich reviews the effectiveness of our policies, supplier due diligence, training programmes, and reporting processes. This regular review allows us to update and strengthen our practices as new legislation, guidance, or risks emerge. We are dedicated to continuous improvement and will always act transparently in sharing our progress with our customers and the Woolwich community.
As a trusted florist for local households and businesses, Florist Woolwich regards ethical trading and respect for human rights as cornerstones of our reputation. We remain steadfast in our commitment to preventing modern slavery and ensuring our business positively contributes to the Woolwich community. Together with our staff, suppliers, and customers, we strive to create a transparent, safe, and fair environment for all.
