Florist Blackwall is firmly committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring that our business and supply chains remain free from all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Blackwall, we recognise our responsibility to act with integrity and respect towards all individuals who contribute to our services, whether directly or indirectly.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Any instance, suspicion, or report of such unethical practices is treated with utmost seriousness and urgency. We maintain this stance not only out of legal obligation, but also as a fundamental value underpinning our dedication to ethical business conduct. Our policy applies to all members of staff, suppliers, partners, and any third parties associated with Florist Blackwall.
Florist Blackwall acknowledges the importance of proactive supplier management in preventing modern slavery. We conduct thorough due diligence when selecting suppliers, particularly for floricultural products, packaging, and sundry purchases. Our process includes requiring suppliers to confirm compliance with relevant anti-slavery legislation and to demonstrate responsible labour practices in their organisations and supply networks. We maintain close contact with our key suppliers to build transparency and ensure ongoing compliance.
Our commitment extends internally through the provision of regular training and awareness initiatives for our staff. All employees are informed of the risks and warning signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as the ethical standards expected at our business. Training modules are refreshed annually or when updates to legislation or best practice occur. By equipping our team with the knowledge and confidence to identify and respond to concerns, we aim to foster a vigilant and responsible workplace environment.
Employees, suppliers, and any concerned parties are encouraged to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery within Florist Blackwall or our supply chain without fear of retaliation. We have clear and accessible internal reporting avenues in place, and take every report seriously. All raised concerns are treated confidentially where required, fully investigated, and dealt with in accordance with our zero tolerance principles.
We are committed to continuous improvement in our practices. Our policies and procedures concerning modern slavery prevention are subject to annual review to ensure effectiveness, reflect any changes in legislation, and adapt to emerging risks. Stakeholder feedback and findings from any investigations or audits are built into our review process to strengthen our approach for the future.
Florist Blackwall’s actions on modern slavery reflect our role as a trusted and responsible supplier to the local Blackwall community. We understand how important ethical conduct is to our customers and partners, and we are proud to uphold and continually reinforce practices that protect people's welfare throughout every level of our business.
This statement sets out the efforts we take, and will continue to take, to prevent any form of modern slavery or human trafficking in our business operations and across our supply chains. We believe these steps are fundamental to building a business that the Blackwall community can trust and rely upon.
