Florist Lower Clapton is dedicated to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. As a trusted Lower Clapton florist serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we are taking to address these issues and reflects our commitment to upholding ethical standards in the flower industry and within our local community.
We have a zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. We are unequivocally committed to preventing such practices, either directly within our operations or indirectly through our supply chain. We expect the same standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners.
Our supply chain largely consists of reputable growers, wholesalers, and local businesses. Nonetheless, we conduct careful due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This process includes requesting information about their working conditions, seeking assurances around legal compliance, and requiring declarations of adherence to our anti-slavery principles. Where appropriate, we may request additional documentation or conduct further risk assessments to ensure there are no links to modern slavery.
Suppliers found to be in breach of our policies or who fail to provide adequate assurance may face termination of our relationship and may be reported to relevant authorities.
All staff at Florist Lower Clapton receive training and guidance on the risks and indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. This training informs staff how to recognise possible concerns in our business or supply chain and empowers them to respond appropriately. We foster an environment of openness and vigilance, ensuring everyone understands their role in identifying and addressing potential issues.
We are committed to ensuring that all staff members and business partners feel confident in speaking up about any genuine suspicions or incidents of modern slavery. Clear and confidential reporting channels are in place to enable concerns to be raised without fear of retaliation. Such concerns will be thoroughly investigated, and appropriate action taken in line with our policies and legal obligations.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure our practices remain effective and relevant in addressing modern slavery risks. Any changes in legislation, industry standards, or best practice are considered, and our procedures are updated as needed. We seek feedback from staff, customers, and suppliers to improve our approach and reinforce our commitment to ethical business conduct.
Being a trusted florist in Lower Clapton means more than providing quality floral arrangements. It also means acting responsibly and upholding the highest ethical standards. We are dedicated to safeguarding our customers, staff, and community from all forms of exploitation. Our stance against modern slavery underlines our genuine care for those we serve, and our ongoing commitment to the social well-being of Lower Clapton.
