As a trusted florist serving Fulham's households and businesses, Florist Fulham recognises its responsibility to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking do not occur within our business or supply chains. We are committed to upholding human rights and acting ethically in all aspects of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement details the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and reflects our dedication to supporting the well-being and dignity of everyone connected to our business.
Florist Fulham operates with a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation. We believe that everyone has a right to fair treatment, safe working conditions, and freedom from coercion. This policy is embedded in our business culture and applies to all staff, contractors, and anyone who works on our behalf. We expect our suppliers and business partners to share our commitment and uphold these same high standards.
Our reputation as a florist depends on trust, quality, and integrity throughout our supply chain. We conduct rigorous due diligence when selecting suppliers, prioritising those who can demonstrate responsible practices and compliance with anti-slavery laws. This includes seeking written assurances, requesting evidence of their own modern slavery policies, and, where appropriate, carrying out audits or site visits. We review our supplier relationships regularly and reserve the right to terminate agreements with any supplier who fails to meet our requirements or ethical standards.
Raising awareness and empowering staff is essential in preventing modern slavery. We provide ongoing training for our team members so they can identify potential signs of exploitation and understand how to respond appropriately. Training covers the principles of our zero tolerance policy, recognising red flags, and the reporting process for any concerns. By fostering a culture of vigilance and responsibility, we ensure that everyone at Florist Fulham contributes actively to the fight against modern slavery.
Florist Fulham encourages the reporting of any suspicions or incidents relating to modern slavery, whether in our workplace or through our supply chain. We have established clear procedures and multiple channels for staff, suppliers, and stakeholders to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, thoroughly investigated, and addressed in line with our policies and the law. Protecting the identities and interests of whistleblowers is a priority for our management team.
We are committed to reviewing and enhancing our approach to combating modern slavery on an annual basis. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, training, and supplier management processes, making improvements where necessary. This is a dynamic area, and Florist Fulham remains vigilant and proactive in adapting to new risks and best practices. We communicate any significant updates to our staff and suppliers to maintain high ethical standards across our operations.
Florist Fulham is proud to be a part of the Fulham community, serving local residents and businesses with care and integrity. Preventing modern slavery is not only a legal obligation but also a reflection of our values and the trust placed in us by our customers. We remain steadfast in our commitment to ethical business practices, both within our shop and throughout our supply chain.
