Florist Raynes Park recognises its responsibility to tackle modern slavery and human trafficking within its own operations and across its supply chain. As a trusted local florist serving both households and businesses in Raynes Park, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards. This statement outlines our approach to the prevention of modern slavery for the year ending [current year] and builds upon our pledge to act with integrity and respect in all our business dealings.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This means we have clear expectations that neither we nor any of our suppliers, contractors, or business partners condone, permit, or facilitate any form of forced labour, child labour, exploitation, or servitude. Our stance is communicated in all our business relationships and is embedded in our internal practices and supplier agreements.
Florist Raynes Park is committed to ensuring that each supplier, whether local or international, upholds our values against modern slavery. We conduct rigorous due diligence procedures when onboarding new suppliers, including seeking information regarding their own policies and practices on modern slavery. In addition, ongoing reviews ensure compliance and give us the confidence to continue our relationships with those whose values align with ours. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate corrective action, which may include terminating relationships with non-compliant suppliers.
As part of our commitment, we train all staff to recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand their roles in its prevention. Regular training sessions are provided to enhance awareness of ethical sourcing, labour rights, and reporting procedures. We encourage our team to speak up if they suspect exploitation or unethical practices, reinforcing the message that everyone has a duty and right to help prevent modern slavery.
We maintain clear reporting channels to enable employees, suppliers, and the public to raise concerns about modern slavery or human trafficking, confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All reported concerns are handled sensitively and are thoroughly investigated by designated managers. Prompt action is taken to safeguard individuals and uphold our ethical standards.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its relevance, effectiveness, and alignment with current legislation and best practice. We seek to improve our approach year on year, incorporating lessons learned and feedback from stakeholders. Updates and enhancements are made as necessary to strengthen our preventive measures and response processes.
Operating in the heart of Raynes Park, we recognise the vital role businesses like ours play in safeguarding ethical practices locally and beyond. Our ongoing efforts to combat modern slavery are integral to the trust placed in us by households and businesses alike. We continually strive to act as a responsible employer and supplier, leading by example for our community.
This statement demonstrates the commitment of Florist Raynes Park to act decisively on modern slavery and human trafficking, ensuring transparency and integrity in every aspect of our work.
