As a trusted florist deeply rooted in the Deptford community, Florist Deptford recognises its responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards across all aspects of our operations. We are fully committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in every facet of our business and supply chain. This statement outlines the steps we have taken and continue to take to ensure that our business, our suppliers, and all those associated with us operate in accordance with legal and moral obligations.
Florist Deptford maintains a zero tolerance approach towards all forms of modern slavery, including slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking. We expect our team members and all suppliers to operate with complete transparency and integrity, ensuring that no part of our business or supply chain is tainted by such practices. Any breach of this policy is considered a serious matter and will be addressed promptly and rigorously.
Our commitment starts with careful supplier selection and close ongoing monitoring. We conduct thorough due diligence on our suppliers to assess their compliance with anti-slavery requirements. This includes requesting information about their labour practices, risk assessments, and their own approaches to preventing modern slavery. We only work with suppliers who demonstrate alignment with our values and provide assurance that they treat workers fairly, legally, and ethically. Regular reviews are carried out to ensure continued compliance, and any concerns raised will be investigated without delay.
Empowering our staff with knowledge is a vital aspect of our strategy. All new and current employees, regardless of their position, receive training that highlights the signs of modern slavery and explains procedures for raising concerns. Ongoing education ensures our team remains alert, equipped, and motivated to guard against illegal or unethical practices in every area of our operations.
Florist Deptford is committed to providing clear and accessible channels through which our team, suppliers, or members of the public can safely and confidentially report their concerns regarding potential modern slavery. We encourage a culture of openness and transparency. All reported concerns are taken seriously and will be thoroughly investigated by management. Appropriate action will be taken in line with our zero tolerance policy, ensuring the highest levels of protection for whistleblowers and those affected.
This modern slavery statement and our underlying processes are subject to an annual review by the management team. The purpose of this review is to assess the effectiveness of our actions, make necessary adjustments, and reinforce our ongoing commitment to this crucial issue. We also keep abreast of evolving legal requirements and best practices to continuously improve our approach.
