At Flowers Eltham, we recognize that we have a responsibility to act with integrity and respect for human rights in every aspect of our business. As a trusted florist serving the local households and businesses of Eltham, we are fully committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms, both within our own operations and throughout our supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to uphold this commitment, reflecting the ethical values that underpin our business.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Any form of exploitation or child labour is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. We expect our suppliers and business partners to adhere to the same high standards, and we take immediate action if any breaches are identified.
Flowers Eltham is dedicated to maintaining transparent and ethical supply chains. Before entering into supplier relationships, we conduct due diligence to assess the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. This process includes evaluating our suppliers' employment practices, reviewing their own modern slavery policies where applicable, and seeking assurances of compliance with relevant laws and ethical guidelines. We prioritise working with reputable suppliers who share our commitment to upholding human rights. Ongoing monitoring is conducted to ensure continued adherence to our ethical standards.
All our team members play a significant role in upholding our values. We provide regular training to staff to help them recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand the actions needed if concerns are raised. Our training covers the definition and forms of modern slavery, our policies, and the importance of raising concerns promptly and responsibly.
We are committed to fostering an open culture where concerns about modern slavery can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Flowers Eltham encourages employees, suppliers, and any individuals connected to our business to voice concerns about any suspected instances of slavery, human trafficking, or exploitation. All reports are treated seriously and acted upon promptly by the relevant management. Our reporting procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure continued effectiveness and accessibility.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure our policies and procedures remain robust, effective, and responsive to evolving risks. Where improvements can be made, they are integrated into our existing framework for the forthcoming year. Our leadership team is committed to ongoing learning and adaptation to best protect vulnerable individuals within our spheres of influence.
As a cornerstone florist in the Eltham community, we understand that ethical behaviour is integral to the trust placed in us by local households and businesses. Our responsibilities extend beyond beautiful floral arrangements to the welfare and dignity of every individual involved in bringing our products and services to you. Flowers Eltham remains committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chains.
