South Norwood Florist recognises our responsibility in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. Serving households and businesses in the South Norwood community, we are committed to conducting all aspects of our operations with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. We strongly believe that businesses have a crucial role in promoting ethical practices, and our policies reflect our unwavering stance against slavery in any form.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and throughout our supply chains. This policy applies to all employees, contractors, and business partners. South Norwood Florist does not tolerate any form of forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, or involuntary work. Our business practices are designed to ensure that everyone who works for or with us does so voluntarily and under fair conditions.
Our supply chains are integral to delivering quality floral products to our customers. We undertake rigorous due diligence when selecting suppliers, ensuring they share our values and comply with all relevant legislation regarding modern slavery. Suppliers are required to confirm their own policies and measures in preventing forced, compulsory, or trafficked labour. South Norwood Florist reserves the right to audit suppliers or require evidence of compliance at any stage of our relationship. If any supplier is found to be in breach of our standards regarding modern slavery, corrective action will be taken, which may include terminating the business relationship.
We believe that awareness is key in identifying and tackling issues of modern slavery. South Norwood Florist provides ongoing training to our staff so that they can recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand the importance of ethical business practices. Training sessions include information on relevant legislation, indicators of exploitation, and the steps to take if any concerns arise. Our commitment to education helps create a collective responsibility among our team members to uphold our anti-slavery values.
We have clear reporting channels in place for employees, suppliers, or any third party who suspects modern slavery within our business or supply chain. All concerns are taken seriously and are thoroughly investigated. We encourage a culture of openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns about modern slavery, ensuring they can do so without fear of retaliation. Our commitment to confidentiality helps foster an environment where unethical practices are promptly identified and addressed.
South Norwood Florist is dedicated to regularly reviewing and enhancing our policies and procedures to prevent modern slavery. Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually, taking into account changes in legislation, best practice guidance, and feedback from employees and stakeholders. We remain open to new ideas and solutions that further strengthen our approach. Continuous assessment allows us to respond swiftly to any emerging risks and to maintain the trust of our local community.
As a respected service provider to households and local businesses, South Norwood Florist understands the importance of leading by example. Our stance against modern slavery is fundamental to the way we operate and reflects our commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our work. We thank our staff, customers, and partners for joining us in creating an environment where human rights are always respected and protected.
