Florist Shoreditch is committed to conducting every aspect of our business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. As a trusted Shoreditch florist, serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. This annual statement outlines the decisive steps we take to prevent these abuses within our own operations and supply chains.
Florist Shoreditch maintains an unyielding zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We categorically forbid the use of forced, bonded, or child labour in our business or our supply chain. Any violation of this policy by staff, suppliers, or partners will lead to appropriate disciplinary or legal action, reflecting our unwavering stance against exploitation.
As a business reliant on a complex network of flower growers, distributors, and associated service providers, we recognise the potential risks within our supply chain. To address this, all current and prospective suppliers undergo a robust due diligence process. This includes:
We believe education is key to effective prevention. Every member of Florist Shoreditch, regardless of role, receives regular training on how to identify, prevent, and report any signs of modern slavery or human trafficking. This training covers understanding different forms of exploitation, recognising red flags in the procurement process, and emphasising the importance of social responsibility in the floral industry.
We have established clear procedures for reporting any concerns relating to modern slavery. All staff are encouraged to raise issues or suspicions confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Management investigates all reported concerns promptly, working alongside appropriate authorities where necessary.
Ensuring open communication channels creates a culture of vigilance and responsibility within Florist Shoreditch, vital for early detection and rectification of any potential risks.
Our commitment to tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process. Each year, this statement and our related policies are reviewed for effectiveness and relevance. We strive to improve our processes, build greater supplier engagement, and adapt training to reflect new risks or legislative changes.
Feedback from staff and local community stakeholders is invaluable in shaping our approach, fostering trust with everyone we serve across Shoreditch. We encourage openness, learning and collaboration in pursuit of a truly ethical and responsible business.
Florist Shoreditch recognises that our community depends on us not only for beautiful floral arrangements but also for upholding the highest ethical standards. We take seriously our position as a provider to local households and businesses, and are dedicated to ensuring every bouquet is sourced and delivered with transparency, care, and human dignity.
This modern slavery statement reflects both our legal obligations and our deep sense of responsibility as a Shoreditch florist. We will continue to work tirelessly towards a supply chain and workplace free from modern slavery in any form, and remain fully accountable to our customers and community.
