As a trusted provider of floral arrangements to households and businesses across South Ruislip, South Ruislip Florist recognises our responsibility to respect and uphold human rights in every aspect of our operations. We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and throughout our supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our efforts to eradicate exploitation and ensure ethical practices as a core value of our business.
South Ruislip Florist has a clear and unequivocal zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate, condone, or knowingly work with any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation within our own business or amongst our suppliers and partners. Our policy is communicated to all staff and suppliers, and forms part of our contractual agreements wherever possible.
Given the complex global networks often involved in floriculture and accessory products, we work diligently to assess the risks of modern slavery within our supply chain. Our due diligence process includes:
We remain alert to risks at all levels of our supply chain, and are prepared to cease trading with any supplier found to breach our standards.
South Ruislip Florist ensures all employees are aware of the signs of modern slavery and understand how they can help to identify and prevent exploitation. We provide training and information as part of induction and ongoing development, promoting awareness of relevant policies and the steps to take if any concerns arise.
We actively encourage staff and suppliers to report any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery, knowing that their concerns will be taken seriously and acted upon discreetly. We have established clear internal channels for raising concerns, including through direct line managers or an appointed senior manager. All reports are investigated promptly, with protections in place to ensure individuals can raise concerns without fear of retaliation.
Our response to modern slavery is not static. We are committed to a process of continual improvement, learning from best practices and advice from relevant external agencies. This Modern Slavery Statement is formally reviewed at least once a year to ensure its effectiveness and relevance to our business operations. Any necessary updates are made and communicated to all staff, suppliers, and appropriate stakeholders.
As a florist that serves the families and workplaces of South Ruislip, we recognise that our actions reflect directly on the trust placed in us by our community. We take our responsibility seriously and will continue to work with customers, staff, and suppliers to ensure our business remains free of modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms.
