At Florists Croydon, our dedication to ethical business practices is central to who we are and what we do. Serving the diverse households and businesses of Croydon, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the measures we have in place to prevent all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
Florists Croydon enforces a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. We believe that all individuals have the right to work freely and with dignity. Any breaches of this policy, whether by employees, contractors, or suppliers, will result in immediate and decisive action, up to and including termination of contracts.
We understand that modern slavery risks can be hidden deep within commercial supply chains. Therefore, Florists Croydon conducts rigorous due diligence when selecting and working with all our suppliers. We require our suppliers to acknowledge and comply with our ethical standards and zero tolerance approach, making it clear that any association with modern slavery will not be tolerated. Checks include, but are not limited to, evaluating employment practices, seeking self-certification, and requesting relevant documentation to determine the supplier’s commitment to the prevention of modern slavery.
Our staff play a crucial role in identifying and preventing modern slavery across our operations. Florists Croydon invests in training for all team members, educating them about the different forms of modern slavery, the signs to look out for, and the importance of acting responsibly. Awareness sessions include real-world examples and practical guidance, equipping our staff to report any concerns quickly and effectively.
Florists Croydon maintains clear, confidential channels for staff and third parties to raise concerns regarding possible breaches of our Modern Slavery Policy. All reports are treated with the utmost seriousness, and we are committed to taking prompt, proportionate action where necessary. Everyone in our business and supply chain is encouraged to remain vigilant and proactive in raising issues without fear of retaliation.
Modern slavery risks can change over time as supply chains evolve. Therefore, Florists Croydon undertakes a formal annual review of our policies, procedures, and practices related to modern slavery. We aim to continually improve our processes, enhance due diligence, and deepen our engagement with suppliers and stakeholders on this critical issue.
As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses, we are committed not only to providing beautiful floral arrangements, but also to supporting the wellbeing of our community and upholding human dignity throughout our supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement represents our ongoing responsibility to act ethically and ensure our business contributes positively to the Croydon community. We thank our customers, employees, and partners for supporting our values and commitment to combating modern slavery in all its forms.
