At Westcombe Park Florist, we recognise our responsibility to act with integrity in all areas of our business. We are dedicated to upholding ethical standards and ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or supply chains. As a trusted florist serving Westcombe Park households and local businesses, we are committed to playing our part in combatting this serious issue.
Westcombe Park Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy with regard to slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking. This applies to all aspects of our operations, whether directly employed staff or third-party suppliers. We believe that no person should ever be subjected to abuse or exploitation, and this principle underpins every decision we make as an organisation.
To ensure integrity throughout our supply chain, we conduct diligent assessments of all existing and new suppliers. We only work with suppliers that commit to ethical labour practices and uphold the highest standards of human rights. All suppliers are required to confirm that neither they nor any entity in their supply chain engages in practices associated with modern slavery or human trafficking. Where relevant, we ask for evidence of their own anti-slavery policies and review their business processes regularly.
We understand that awareness and education are key in preventing modern slavery. Our employees, including both store and delivery staff, receive regular training to identify indications of modern slavery, understand the risks involved, and be aware of the steps to take should concerns arise. Through this training, we foster a vigilant and responsible workplace culture where every team member knows their role in upholding our commitment.
To support the effective identification and prevention of modern slavery, Westcombe Park Florist provides clear and accessible channels for reporting any concerns or suspected breaches. Employees are actively encouraged to report, in confidence, if they suspect any malpractice or observe anything suspicious either within our own business or among our suppliers. All reports are treated seriously and are handled with sensitivity. We do not tolerate retaliation of any kind against individuals who raise concerns in good faith.
We understand that the fight against modern slavery is ongoing. Our policies and procedures are reviewed annually to ensure their continued effectiveness and relevance. This involves re-assessing our supply chain risks, refreshing staff training, and reviewing the outcomes of any raised concerns. Where appropriate, we update our approach, acknowledging new threats or industry developments.
Westcombe Park Florist is proud to be a trusted service provider for our local community. Upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct is essential to maintaining the trust placed in us by households and businesses across Westcombe Park. Our commitment to this Modern Slavery Statement is part of our broader role in supporting a fair, just, and respectful society.
This statement reflects our ongoing dedication to preventing and addressing modern slavery in every aspect of our business, now and in the future.
