At Florist Shepherd's Bush, we take our responsibility to the community seriously and uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Shepherd's Bush, we are fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business operations and supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we have taken, and will continue to take, to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place within our organisation or through our trusted partners.
We have implemented a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This commitment is embedded in our company culture and applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers. Any form of exploitation, forced labour, or human trafficking is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. We expect the same commitment from our suppliers and all those we work with, reflecting our core values as a local business integral to the Shepherd's Bush community.
As part of our efforts to identify and mitigate risks, we conduct due diligence on all suppliers and vendors before establishing business relationships. Our process includes risk assessments, supplier questionnaires, and ongoing engagement to ensure our partners share our ethical standards. We ensure that suppliers are aware of our stance on modern slavery and require them to sign declarations confirming compliance with relevant laws, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Regular reviews of our supplier base are carried out to monitor adherence and to address any concerns immediately.
We believe that informed employees are essential to the prevention of modern slavery. All our staff undergo training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand their roles in upholding our values. This training covers the types of exploitation that may occur within the floristry industry and wider supply chain. Employees are encouraged to question and escalate any concerns, promoting a culture of awareness and vigilance throughout our business.
Florist Shepherd's Bush provides clear and accessible channels for reporting suspicions of modern slavery. Employees, suppliers, and members of the community can raise concerns in confidence, knowing these will be taken seriously and addressed promptly. We maintain a supportive environment in which individuals feel safe to come forward, and we are committed to investigating all reports thoroughly. Action will be taken against any party found engaging in or facilitating modern slavery or related abuses.
We are committed to the ongoing review and development of our modern slavery policies. This statement and the underlying practices will be revisited annually by our management team to ensure their effectiveness and relevance. We remain dedicated to continuous improvement, adapting our approach in line with new legislation, industry best practices, and feedback from our community. We update our staff, suppliers, and clients on significant changes as part of our commitment to transparency.
As a Shepherd's Bush florist trusted by local households and businesses, we believe it is our duty to act with integrity and care. Upholding the rights and dignity of all individuals connected to our business is central to this mission. We invite our community to support us in these efforts and reaffirm our shared responsibility to create a fairer, safer environment for everyone.
