Worcester Park Florist is committed to conducting business with the highest ethical standards and integrity. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Worcester Park and the surrounding area, we recognise our responsibility to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking are never present within our organisation or our supply chain. This statement outlines the steps we take to uphold these principles and affirms our continued dedication to combating modern slavery in all forms.
We operate with a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This fundamental stance applies across all our operations and our supply chain. We believe everyone who works for or with Worcester Park Florist has the right to do so freely, safely, and with dignity. We expect this same commitment from every one of our suppliers and partners. Our internal policies make it clear that unethical behaviour, forced labour, exploitation, or any form of slavery will not be tolerated and will result in decisive action, including the severing of business relationships where necessary.
As part of our dedication to ethical sourcing, we conduct thorough due diligence on our suppliers, particularly those involved in the supply of flowers, foliage, sundries, and other goods. Each supplier undergoes an assessment to ensure their practices align with our ethical standards and compliance with all applicable laws on slavery and human trafficking. We require confirmation from our suppliers that they do not tolerate, permit, or condone any form of modern slavery in their operations. Supplier relationships are regularly reviewed to ensure ongoing compliance and to address any emerging risks or concerns.
All team members at Worcester Park Florist receive training and information to help them recognise, prevent, and report signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. We promote an open culture where staff are encouraged to raise concerns without fear. We believe in empowering our team with the knowledge and confidence needed to uphold our zero tolerance policy, whether they are working within the shop, making deliveries, or liaising with suppliers. Training materials are reviewed annually to ensure they remain up-to-date with best practice and relevant legislation.
We recognise the importance of providing accessible and safe channels for reporting. Any employee, supplier, or third party who suspects or becomes aware of modern slavery or unethical practices within our operations or supply chain is encouraged to report their concerns in confidence to senior management. We guarantee that all concerns are treated seriously and investigated promptly. We also ensure that individuals who report in good faith do not face retaliation.
This statement and Worcester Park Florist’s anti-slavery measures are formally reviewed every year. The review assesses the effectiveness of our policies, procedures, and training, and allows us to adapt to any changes in legislation or the risks in our sector. Through this process, we strive for continual improvement and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to ethical business practices.
As a respected florist within Worcester Park, serving both local households and businesses, we recognise our duty to lead by example and promote a culture of transparency and respect. Upholding these values not only preserves the trust of our customers and partners but also contributes to our wider community’s wellbeing.
This statement is made in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and demonstrates Worcester Park Florist’s determination to prevent modern slavery in all its forms.
