South Hornchurch Florist is proud to be a trusted business serving the residents, families, and organizations of South Hornchurch. As part of our commitment to the local community and the wider industry, we recognize our responsibility to take all reasonable steps to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within our operations and supply chains.
At South Hornchurch Florist, we uphold a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, or human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. Any violation of this policy by employees, suppliers, or business partners will result in immediate action, including termination of relationships where appropriate.
Given the nature of our business, which includes sourcing flowers, plants, packaging, and related goods and services, we understand the importance of ensuring that our supply chains are free from exploitation. We conduct due diligence when engaging new suppliers and periodically review existing suppliers to assess potential risks of modern slavery. Our process includes asking suppliers to confirm their own compliance with relevant laws, and we require assurances that their own operations and those of their suppliers are equally committed to eradicating human rights abuses.
We believe that awareness is a key defense against modern slavery. All South Hornchurch Florist staff undergo training to recognize signs of modern slavery and understand the importance of ethical sourcing. Employees are equipped with guidance on how to report concerns both internally and externally, and we regularly update training materials to reflect the evolving landscape around modern slavery risks.
We encourage a culture of openness and accountability. Staff, suppliers, or other stakeholders are encouraged to raise concerns or suspicions about slavery, trafficking, or unethical practices without fear of retaliation. Clear internal reporting routes are in place, which ensure any issues are swiftly and confidentially investigated. Where appropriate, we collaborate with relevant authorities to address and resolve such matters to the fullest extent.
This statement and our related policies are reviewed at least once every year, or more frequently if necessary, to ensure they remain effective, up-to-date, and relevant to our business operations. We seek to continually strengthen our approach in line with best practice recommendations and lessons learned from within the industry and our supply networks.
As a prominent floral provider in South Hornchurch serving both households and businesses, we know our customers and stakeholders trust us to act with integrity. We take this duty seriously and are committed to ensuring our flowers, plants, gifts, and services do not come at the hidden cost of exploitation or harm to any individuals. Our collective vigilance helps create a more ethical and sustainable community for everyone.
