At Stroud Green Florist, we recognise our responsibilities as a trusted local business serving households and commercial clients throughout Stroud Green. Modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and servitude, is a pervasive global issue that requires proactive action from organisations of all sizes. This statement outlines the actions and policies Stroud Green Florist has in place to prevent modern slavery within our operations and supply chains.
We maintain a zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our commitment is reflected at every level of our business, from sourcing fresh blooms to delivering floral arrangements to our valued customers. We expect all employees, suppliers, and business partners to share and uphold this stance, taking all reasonable steps to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not present in any aspect of their operations.
Stroud Green Florist works with a range of suppliers to source quality flowers, plants, packaging, and associated products. We recognise the risks of slavery and unethical practices in complex supply chains, particularly within the global floral industry. To manage these risks, we perform due diligence checks on new suppliers before establishing trading relationships. We seek assurance that our suppliers act ethically, have robust labour policies, and share our commitment to preventing exploitation. Where appropriate, we request supporting documentation and, if necessary, reserve the right to terminate agreements with any supplier found to be in breach of our standards.
Our team is the backbone of our business. We provide regular training to all employees about the risks, signs, and prevention of modern slavery. This equips staff with the knowledge to identify and respond to potential indicators of exploitation within our operations or supply chain. Our induction programmes introduce new team members to our values and expectations surrounding ethical behaviour and modern slavery prevention.
Stroud Green Florist encourages open and honest communication regarding ethical concerns or suspected instances of modern slavery. We have established confidential internal reporting channels for employees and suppliers to voice concerns without fear of retaliation. All reports are handled sensitively and investigated thoroughly, with appropriate action taken as required. We also promote a culture of vigilance and empowerment, reminding everyone connected to our business of their role in protecting human rights.
This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually by the management of Stroud Green Florist to ensure its ongoing suitability and effectiveness. We are committed to continual improvement, regularly assessing our procedures and adapting our approach as required by new challenges or regulatory changes. We actively seek feedback from staff and stakeholders to improve our practices and raise standards across our supply chain and within our business operations.
As a florist deeply embedded in the heart of Stroud Green, we are committed to upholding the values of our community. Our vigilance against modern slavery reflects our responsibility to serve our customers with dignity, to protect vulnerable individuals, and to ensure ethical practices at every step. We will continue to work tirelessly to prevent exploitation and to make positive contributions to our industry and locality.
