At Blackheath Florist, we are steadfast in our dedication to upholding ethical business standards and protecting human rights throughout our operations. As a trusted florist serving Blackheath’s households and businesses, we understand the responsibility we carry in ensuring transparency and integrity in our supply chain. Modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation in any form, is strictly prohibited within our business and among those with whom we collaborate.
We operate with a clear zero tolerance stance on modern slavery and exploitation. Any instance of modern slavery or human rights abuse identified within our operations or among our suppliers will result in immediate action, including termination of relationships where necessary. This policy is integral to our culture, reflecting our values and our commitment to the local community we serve.
Our supply chain is carefully managed to promote ethical sourcing and fair treatment of all individuals involved. We select suppliers based not only on the quality of their flowers and materials but also their adherence to labour laws and anti-slavery measures. Each supplier is required to demonstrate compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and related standards. Regular reviews ensure ongoing alignment with our expectations, and any signs of non-compliance are thoroughly investigated.
Blackheath Florist is committed to raising awareness among all employees about the risks of modern slavery. Staff undergo periodic training to help them recognise the signs of exploitation and understand how to respond appropriately. This training ensures every member of our team is informed and empowered to uphold our zero tolerance policy in all facets of our business.
We actively encourage a culture of openness where concerns about modern slavery can be raised without fear of reprisal. Staff, suppliers, and customers are all invited to report any suspicious activities confidentially, and all reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly. Clear internal pathways for reporting ensure that any issues are escalated to senior management for appropriate action.
Our approach to combatting modern slavery is reviewed annually to ensure ongoing effectiveness. We assess new risks, evaluate the outcomes of our policies, and implement any necessary improvements. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and the community is welcomed and forms an important part of our review process. This continuous monitoring allows us to remain vigilant and responsive to new challenges as they arise.
As a well-established Blackheath florist, we recognise that our actions impact both our local community and the wider industry. By actively addressing the risk of modern slavery, we reaffirm our role as a trusted provider to households and businesses in Blackheath. We are committed to creating a safe, fair, and respectful environment for everyone associated with our business.
This statement is reviewed and approved by Blackheath Florist’s leadership annually and forms a core part of our ongoing commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our operation.
