Florist Hornchurch is committed to acting with integrity and honesty in all of our business dealings. We believe that every individual has the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and we recognise our responsibility as a trusted Hornchurch florist proudly serving local households and businesses. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain.
We have a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. Our leadership and team are fully committed to upholding human rights and ethical business practices. We expect the same standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners, and we will never knowingly work with organisations or individuals who do not uphold these principles.
We recognise that floral supply chains, whether local or international, may sometimes carry risks related to unethical practices. To address this, we have established thorough due diligence procedures in our supplier selection and renewal processes. These measures include:
Our staff receive regular training to increase awareness of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our industry and local community. Training covers how to identify potential signs of exploitation and the appropriate actions to take if any concerns arise. By equipping our team with knowledge and guidance, we help maintain vigilance throughout our operations.
Florist Hornchurch encourages openness and expects all staff, contractors, and suppliers to report any concerns relating to potential breaches of our anti-slavery policy. We have confidential and accessible channels for reporting, and all reports are treated seriously. Reports are investigated promptly and thoroughly, with action taken as required. We do not tolerate any form of retaliation against individuals raising concerns in good faith.
We recognise that tackling modern slavery requires ongoing vigilance and commitment. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to assess the effectiveness of our policies, training, supplier management, and reporting mechanisms. We seek continuous improvement, both in our own practices and in collaboration with our suppliers and the wider community.
As a long-standing florist deeply rooted in Hornchurch, we are conscious of our position of trust and our responsibility to uphold ethical practices. Serving the local community means being proactive in protecting the rights and wellbeing of everyone connected to our business, from the flowers we source to the homes and businesses we deliver to. We remain dedicated to ensuring that our services and supply chains are free from modern slavery and exploitation.
