Florist Chislehurst is dedicated to conducting business ethically, transparently, and in accordance with the highest standards of integrity. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Chislehurst, we acknowledge our responsibility in identifying and preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to ensure these principles are upheld and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to eradicating these practices.
We have a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We will not condone, support, or be a party to any form of slavery or forced labour, whether directly within our business or indirectly through our suppliers and contractors. This principle is embedded within all areas of our business and guides every decision we make, from the selection of our floral suppliers to the employment of our talented staff members.
Recognising the risks associated with supply chains, Florist Chislehurst implements robust procedures when selecting and reviewing suppliers. We require all suppliers of flowers, materials, and associated products to comply with our values and policies on human rights, fairness, and ethical trading. Before entering any business relationship, suppliers must confirm their commitment to preventing modern slavery. Where necessary, we seek supporting documentation demonstrating their compliance. Ongoing reviews and risk assessments are carried out to ensure continued adherence, and any indications of unsafe or unethical practices see immediate investigation and, where appropriate, termination of supplier relationships.
We believe educating our employees is essential to the prevention of modern slavery. Regular training is provided to all staff to help them understand the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, including how these issues may surface within the floral trade and supply chains. Employees are encouraged to remain vigilant, ask questions, and promptly raise concerns about any suspicious conduct they may encounter in the course of their duties.
Any concerns or suspicions relating to modern slavery or human trafficking can be reported through our established internal channels. We promote a culture of openness where staff, suppliers, and customers can raise their concerns without fear of reprisal. All reported matters are taken with the utmost seriousness, investigated in detail, and treated confidentially. This approach ensures that we can respond swiftly and appropriately to any potential issues.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. We remain committed to monitoring best practices, complying with all applicable legislation, and making continuous improvements to our processes for identifying and addressing any modern slavery risks. Where necessary, procedures are adjusted to reflect new information, changing laws, and the evolving nature of our business relationships.
Florist Chislehurst’s standards are inspired not only by legislation and global best practices, but also by our role as a well-respected local business. Serving the people and organisations of Chislehurst comes with a special responsibility: to act as a beacon of ethical business and to ensure that our flowers and services bring joy – never harm. We thank our staff, suppliers, customers, and the community for supporting our commitment to a fair, slavery-free society.
This statement has been approved by the Florist Chislehurst management team and will be reviewed annually to guarantee that it accurately reflects our policies and practices concerning the prevention of modern slavery.
