Modern Slavery Statement – Florist Isleworth
Our Zero Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery
Florist Isleworth is unwavering in our opposition to modern slavery, human trafficking, and all forms of forced labour. As a trusted local florist serving the Isleworth community and its businesses, we regard ethical trading and respect for human rights as fundamental values. Our zero tolerance policy extends through all areas of our business, ensuring that slavery and exploitation have no place within Florist Isleworth or our supply chain.
Supplier Due Diligence
We recognise that the floral industry, including the sourcing of flowers and ancillary materials, can be at risk for exploitation. Florist Isleworth conducts robust due diligence on new and existing suppliers. We expect all business partners to abide by our standards and require explicit confirmation that their practices align with anti-slavery laws.
Our selection criteria for suppliers includes a review of their ethical policies, labour practices, and transparency in sourcing. We reserve the right to remove or terminate business with any supplier found to be engaging in, or complicit with, any aspect of modern slavery or human trafficking.
Staff Training and Awareness
Every member of the Florist Isleworth team undertakes training to recognise the risks and signs of modern slavery within our sector. This training is renewed annually, ensuring ongoing awareness of evolving risks. Through regular briefings, team discussions, and updated resources, staff remain informed on how to prevent and report potential issues connected with modern slavery or unethical labour practices.
Reporting Concerns
Florist Isleworth guarantees a safe and discreet channel for staff and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery or exploitation linked to our business, suppliers, or service delivery. Reports of any such practice are treated confidentially and investigated without delay. Retaliation against whistleblowers is strictly prohibited, and we encourage a culture of openness regarding any suspicion or knowledge of non-compliance.
Annual Review and Ongoing Improvement
Recognising that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility, we are committed to reviewing and updating our policies annually. This includes reassessing supplier risks, enhancing staff training, and improving mechanisms for reporting and response. We monitor our compliance using key indicators and industry developments to adapt our approach. Through these actions, we help ensure that our business practices remain ethical and accountable at every level.
