At Greenwich Florist, we recognise our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all aspects of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our ongoing commitment to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking, reflecting our role as a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Greenwich. We are dedicated to ensuring that modern slavery does not occur anywhere within our operations or our supply chains.
Greenwich Florist maintains a robust zero tolerance stance towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We categorically oppose any form of forced labour, child labour, servitude, or exploitation, both within our business and across all of our supply chain partners. This commitment is fundamental to our values and to our standing in the local community.
As a business reliant on a network of growers, wholesalers, and suppliers, we recognise the importance of due diligence in upholding ethical standards. We evaluate new and existing suppliers, prioritising those who share our values and ethical practices. Our procurement processes include assessments designed to identify, address, and mitigate potential risks of modern slavery. We seek contractual assurances from our suppliers and require confirmation of their own compliance with anti-slavery legislation and codes of conduct. Where necessary, we reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who are found to be in violation of these principles.
We believe that education and awareness are crucial to preventing modern slavery. Greenwich Florist provides training to all staff, ensuring they understand the signs of modern slavery and their responsibilities in reporting any concerns. This training is updated regularly to reflect evolving risks and best practices, empowering our employees to play an active role in keeping our business and supply chain free from exploitation.
We encourage an open culture in which staff, suppliers, and local stakeholders feel confident to report any suspicions or instances of modern slavery. Concerns can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation via our internal reporting procedures. We take every report seriously, conducting thorough investigations and taking swift, appropriate action where finds of non-compliance are made.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and fit for purpose. We assess our policies and activities each year, making improvements as necessary to address emerging risks or legislative requirements. Greenwich Florist is committed to continuous improvement in this area, seeking input from staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders to strengthen our approach and uphold our reputation in the Greenwich community.
Our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking reflects not just legal compliance, but our deep sense of social responsibility as a trusted local florist. We pledge to uphold these standards for the benefit of our employees, our customers, and the wider community. By remaining vigilant and proactive, we aim to ensure that every aspect of our business stands as an example of ethical conduct and integrity.
