Florist Elmers End is committed to operating in a way that upholds respect, dignity, and human rights for every individual connected with our business. We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking, ensuring that such practices have no place in any part of our operations or supply chains. As a trusted florist in Elmers End, serving families and businesses across our community, we recognise the need to act responsibly and lead by example in opposing all forms of modern slavery.
We believe our ethical obligations extend beyond our own staff and workspaces. Florist Elmers End exercises rigorous due diligence in selecting and continuing relationships with all suppliers and business partners. We seek to work only with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical labour practices, and who provide assurance that no forced, bonded, or involuntary labour is used within their operations. This is achieved through regular supplier assessments, including risk-based questionnaires and the requirement that suppliers provide supporting documentation or evidence of their own modern slavery policies and accreditations.
Awareness and understanding are vital in the fight against modern slavery. All Florist Elmers End employees receive regular training to recognise signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, whether those risks are present in our direct operations or within our broader supply chain. This ensures that every team member, regardless of role or responsibility, is equipped with the knowledge necessary to identify potential issues and take appropriate action promptly and sensitively.
Florist Elmers End encourages a transparent culture in which concerns can be raised freely and confidentially. We have put in place clear internal channels for staff or contractors to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reports are treated seriously, and staff are assured of protection from retaliation or adverse consequences for coming forward with concerns, whether founded or based in good faith suspicion.
Our commitment to combating modern slavery is a continuous journey. Florist Elmers End’s Modern Slavery Statement and related policies are subject to an annual review to ensure they remain effective and fit for purpose. Feedback from staff, insights from supplier engagement, and updates in legislation or best practice are all factored into the review process. Where necessary, we will update our procedures, training, or supplier requirements to continually strengthen our stance against human exploitation.
We understand that our responsibilities as a local business go beyond floral arrangements and deliveries. As an integral part of the Elmers End community, trusted by households and commercial enterprises alike, Florist Elmers End is steadfast in upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct. This Modern Slavery Statement serves not just as a policy, but as a promise to our customers, partners, and neighbours that we will never compromise on human rights, and will act decisively and transparently to uphold our shared values.
