At Shepherd's Bush Florist, we are fully committed to upholding the highest ethical standards across all aspects of our business. Modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation, has no place in our operations or supply chains. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Shepherd's Bush, we regard it as our responsibility to promote integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights in everything we do.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies not only within our own team but also extends to all entities with whom we conduct business. Our stance is clearly communicated to our employees, suppliers, and business partners. If we identify any breach of this policy, we will take decisive action, which may include terminating the business relationship or reporting the matter to relevant authorities.
In our sourcing process, particularly for flowers, plants, and sundries, we perform thorough due diligence when selecting suppliers. Potential and existing suppliers are expected to demonstrate ethical practices and transparency within their own businesses and supply chains. We require suppliers to confirm that they do not engage in modern slavery, child labour, or exploitative practices. Regular assessments and reviews are undertaken to ensure ongoing compliance and to identify any potential risks.
We understand that our staff play a crucial role in identifying and preventing modern slavery. To empower them, we provide targeted training which covers the principles of modern slavery, how to recognise indicators of exploitation, and procedures for escalating any concerns. This training forms part of our new employee induction and is refreshed periodically to keep best practices at the forefront of our collective awareness.
Shepherd's Bush Florist is committed to creating an open environment where concerns regarding suspected modern slavery or unethical conduct can be raised safely and without fear of reprisal. We actively encourage all employees, suppliers, and business partners to speak out if they have any suspicions regarding modern slavery within our operations or wider supply chain. Concerns can be raised through our internal management, where reports are treated promptly and confidentially. Every report is taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, with appropriate actions taken to address any findings.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance. We strive for continuous improvement, adapting our policies and practices in line with evolving guidance and legislation. Any significant changes within our business or supply chains are incorporated into our annual review process, helping us maintain a robust stance against modern slavery on a consistent basis.
As a longstanding florist in Shepherd's Bush, we recognise the trust placed in us by our local community. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is a part of our wider promise to act responsibly and ethically in everything we do. By upholding these standards, we aim to serve our customers, staff, suppliers, and the wider community with integrity and respect.
This statement reflects Shepherd's Bush Florist's ongoing dedication to preventing modern slavery throughout our operations and supply chains.
