Flowers St Paul’s Cray is dedicated to conducting business ethically and with integrity. As a trusted florist serving St Paul’s Cray households and businesses, we recognize our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and operations. This statement outlines the actions we take to identify, prevent, and address risks of modern slavery in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We operate a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and any form of human exploitation. This commitment extends to all aspects of our business and our supply chain, whether local or international. Any breach of this policy by staff, suppliers, or business partners will result in immediate review and appropriate disciplinary or contractual action.
We carefully select our suppliers and conduct due diligence to assess the risk of modern slavery within our supply chain. All suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with relevant legislation and provide assurances that they have procedures in place to prevent human trafficking, child labour, and forced or compulsory labour. We expect transparency, and we will not partner with any supplier who cannot demonstrate adherence to these standards. Ongoing monitoring and supplier reviews ensure continued compliance.
Our staff play a crucial role in upholding our values and policies. We provide regular training and updates for all team members, ensuring they are equipped to recognise signs of modern slavery and understand the procedures for reporting concerns. This training fosters a culture of vigilance throughout the business, reinforcing our zero tolerance approach and empowering staff at all levels to act if required.
Maintaining open and accessible channels for reporting concerns about modern slavery is central to our commitment. Employees and supply partners are encouraged to report any suspicions or evidence of exploitation confidentially without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly, with outcomes managed in line with our policies and legal obligations. When necessary, we will collaborate with appropriate authorities or agencies to address any issues raised.
We are committed to continually improving our policies and procedures to reflect best practice and respond to emerging risks. Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness. We welcome feedback from staff, suppliers, and customers, and strive to act on any recommendations for strengthening our approach to tackling modern slavery.
As a florist embedded in the St Paul’s Cray community, we take pride in our reputation as a trusted provider to local households and businesses. Our approach to modern slavery reflects this trust and our broader commitment to ethical, responsible business. By maintaining robust controls and fostering transparency, we aim to protect both the people within our supply chain and those we serve.
Flowers St Paul’s Cray remains proactive in identifying and mitigating the risks of modern slavery. Through our zero tolerance policy, rigorous supplier checks, staff education initiatives, open reporting mechanisms, and annual reviews, we uphold our duty as a responsible and ethical business. Our ongoing efforts contribute to the safety and wellbeing of everyone connected to our florist and the wider St Paul’s Cray community.
