As a respected florist serving Bethnal Green's diverse households and businesses, Bethnal Green Florist recognises the crucial importance of maintaining integrity throughout our operations and supply chains. We are resolute in upholding the highest ethical standards and have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking of any kind. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps taken to identify, prevent, and address risks of modern slavery in connection with our business.
Bethnal Green Florist has implemented a clear and firm zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking. No abuse, exploitation, or coercion will be tolerated within our business or from suppliers and partners. This policy is communicated to all employees, suppliers, and contractors as a non-negotiable requirement of conducting business with Bethnal Green Florist.
We recognise that floristry supply chains can be complex and occasionally vulnerable to unethical practices. To mitigate this risk, we regularly review and assess our suppliers to ensure their compliance with relevant laws and our own ethical standards. New suppliers are subject to stringent vetting processes, which include questioning on their labour practices, working conditions, and knowledge of their own supply chains. Periodic spot-checks and written confirmations are sought to uphold these standards and identify any area of concern early on.
We believe that informed staff are essential to maintaining rigorous standards. All employees at Bethnal Green Florist are provided with training on the nature of modern slavery, how to recognise the warning signs, and the procedures for reporting concerns. Regular refreshers and awareness sessions ensure that our team remains vigilant and acknowledges their collective responsibility to prevent abusive practices. Training materials are reviewed annually to reflect legal updates and lessons learned.
All staff, suppliers, and stakeholders are encouraged to disclose any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery, confident in the knowledge that their concerns will be taken seriously and treated confidentially. Clear, accessible internal channels allow individuals to report suspected exploitation without fear of retaliation. Reports are thoroughly investigated and appropriate action is taken swiftly in accordance with our disciplinary and supplier management procedures.
To ensure continued effectiveness, Bethnal Green Florist's Modern Slavery Statement and related procedures are subject to a comprehensive annual review. This process evaluates our performance, identifies any emerging risks, and informs necessary improvements. By systematically updating our policies and practices, we strive not only to comply with the law but also to exemplify responsible business conduct in our community.
As a trusted local florist, Bethnal Green Florist is acutely aware of our responsibility towards customers, employees, suppliers, and our wider community. Upholding fairness and dignity at every level of our service is fundamental to who we are. We remain dedicated to ensuring our business and supply chain are free from modern slavery, reflecting our commitment to ethical, community-focused service provision for Bethnal Green and beyond.
