West Norwood Florist is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in all aspects of our business. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses throughout the West Norwood area, we recognise our responsibility to combat the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and our wider supply chain.
We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery, servitude, forced labour, or human trafficking. Modern slavery in all its forms is contrary to our values and is strictly prohibited within any part of our business and supply chain. Every staff member and supplier is expected to align with our firm stance against such practices.
Given our reliance on suppliers for flowers, plants, packaging, and ancillary goods, we take proactive steps to minimise risks in our supply chain. Prior to engaging with any supplier, we undertake careful due diligence, including requesting information on their own practices and policies regarding labour standards and ethical sourcing. We prioritise working with suppliers who demonstrate strong commitments to fair labour practices and sustainable sourcing. Where appropriate, we ask suppliers to confirm their compliance with relevant legislation, including the Modern Slavery Act.
At West Norwood Florist, we believe education is a crucial tool in preventing modern slavery. Our team members receive regular training aimed at raising awareness of modern slavery risks, signs of exploitation, and the importance of ethical behaviour throughout our operations. This training includes how to identify and respond to potential issues both within the workplace and throughout our supply network. We encourage all staff to remain vigilant and informed, so they can support our collective efforts to keep our business free from modern slavery.
We actively encourage employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices. Clear channels are in place for confidential reporting, and we pledge to investigate all reports promptly and thoroughly, taking proportionate action as required. Any staff member or third party who raises concerns in good faith will be supported and protected from retaliation, in line with our core commitment to ethical business practices.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. As regulations evolve and our business grows, we will update our approach as needed to reflect best practice and uphold our zero-tolerance standards. Feedback from staff, customers, and business partners is welcomed and valued as part of our continuous commitment to improvement in this area.
Serving the households and businesses of West Norwood, we understand the importance of trust, transparency, and ethical standards at every level of our operations. Fighting modern slavery is not just a legal duty, but a reflection of our core values as a respected local florist. We remain dedicated to ensuring that our customers can purchase from us with confidence, knowing that their local florist stands firmly against modern slavery in all its forms.
