Florist East Ham stands firmly against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted florist proudly serving households and businesses throughout East Ham, we recognise our responsibility not only to our customers but to the wider community. This statement outlines the robust measures we have adopted to prevent modern slavery within our operations and supply chain, ensuring our values reflect integrity, respect, and ethical business conduct.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and exploitative practices. This applies to every aspect of our business, from our staff and direct suppliers to any third-party contractors. Florist East Ham will not knowingly engage with any organisation, individual, or supplier involved in forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, or any form of modern slavery. Breaches of this policy result in immediate review and potential termination of relationships.
Our dedication to ethical sourcing starts with rigorous supplier due diligence. Before initiating or renewing contracts, we assess all suppliers for their compliance with anti-slavery laws and ethical labour standards. We request information pertaining to their employment practices, transparency in their supply chains, and their own measures against modern slavery. Ongoing monitoring and periodic audits are in place to further mitigate risks. Florist East Ham favours working with partners who share our commitment to upholding human rights and fair working conditions.
We believe that awareness and education are key to preventing modern slavery. Every member of our team is provided with training to identify signs of modern slavery, understand reporting procedures, and appreciate the importance of ethical business operations. This training is reviewed annually and updated to reflect legislative changes and emerging risks. Our culture encourages vigilance and empowers staff to take action if they suspect wrongdoing.
Florist East Ham fosters an environment where all employees, customers, and partners can raise concerns related to modern slavery effectively and confidentially. We have established clear, accessible internal reporting channels for anyone wishing to report suspicious behaviour or breaches of our anti-slavery policy. Concerns raised are treated with priority and addressed in the strictest confidence, ensuring protection for whistleblowers. We are committed to acting promptly and taking the necessary corrective action when any issue is identified.
This statement and our approach to combating modern slavery are subject to a formal annual review by our management team. The review considers the effectiveness of existing measures, changes in legislation, and feedback from our team and supply partners. Where improvement opportunities are identified, we act swiftly to update our policies and procedures accordingly. This process ensures we remain proactive in facing the challenging and evolving realities of modern slavery prevention.
As a proud East Ham florist, we recognise the trust placed in us by the local community. We are committed to playing our part as responsible business leaders by promoting and practising high ethical standards. Florist East Ham will continue to work diligently to fight modern slavery, protect victims, and contribute positively to the safety and welfare of those in our neighbourhood and the broader supply chain.
