At Harold Wood Florist, we are dedicated to conducting our business with the utmost integrity, transparency, and respect for the human rights of all individuals. As a trusted florist serving the Harold Wood community, encompassing local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to act decisively against modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our operations and supply chain.
We have a zero tolerance approach towards modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. All our actions and decisions reflect this uncompromising stance. Whether in our own workplace or throughout our supply network, Harold Wood Florist upholds high ethical standards and expects the same from those we engage with.
We are committed to only working with reputable suppliers who share our values around human rights and fair labour practices. Our due diligence process involves checking and vetting suppliers for indicators of modern slavery risk. We require our floral and sundry suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery legislation and ethical sourcing standards. If we have any suspicion of unethical behaviour or breaches, the supplier is subject to review and, if necessary, termination of the business relationship.
Harold Wood Florist believes education is essential in safeguarding against the risks of modern slavery. We provide ongoing training for all our employees to help them identify the signs of modern slavery and understand what steps to take if they have concerns. Our staff are informed of the importance of vigilance, not only within our shop but also when interacting with partners and suppliers.
We insist on open and secure channels for reporting any concerns related to modern slavery. Employees are encouraged to report suspicions or incidents without fear of retaliation, and we make certain all disclosures are treated with the highest level of confidentiality and seriousness. Any reports will be thoroughly investigated in line with our policies, and we will not tolerate any form of victimisation against those who speak up.
As part of our ongoing commitment, this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to ensure that our practices and policies remain robust and effective. We also monitor changes in legislation and implement improvements where needed. Feedback from staff, suppliers and the wider community is welcomed and forms an important part of our continuous improvement process.
By acting decisively against modern slavery, Harold Wood Florist aims to preserve the trust placed in us by customers across Harold Wood. Serving the floral needs of our area is a privilege, and we are dedicated to upholding this responsibility by ensuring that every bloom and bouquet is sourced and supplied ethically.
This statement covers the period until the next update and reflects our commitment as a responsible and trusted Harold Wood florist.
