We acknowledge our responsibility as a trusted provider of floral services to households and businesses in Romford, and we are committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking in any part of our business. Our policy extends to all relationships we maintain with suppliers, partners, and contractors. Any instance or suspicion of modern slavery is treated with utmost seriousness, and decisive action is taken in accordance with our values and legal obligations.
Supplier Due Diligence
Romford Florist sources products and services from a range of suppliers, both locally and internationally. As part of our due diligence process, we assess suppliers against our strict ethical standards and expectations. This includes monitoring their compliance with relevant anti-slavery laws, requesting up-to-date information on their policies, and requiring contractual assurances that they operate free from modern slavery and exploitative practices. We reserve the right to cease business with any supplier who is found to be in violation of these principles.
Staff Training
Our staff play a central role in upholding our modern slavery policy. We provide regular training to all team members, increasing awareness of the risks and signs associated with modern slavery and human trafficking. This training covers how to identify, prevent, and report any suspicious activity, ensuring every staff member knows how to respond appropriately and responsibly.
Reporting Channels
We encourage open communication and empower our staff, suppliers, and contractors to report any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery. Multiple reporting channels are in place to facilitate confidential, honest disclosures without fear of reprisal. Management investigates all reports thoroughly and takes prompt remedial actions where issues are identified, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to protecting human rights across our business and supply chain.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Romford Florist commits to reviewing this Modern Slavery Statement and our related processes at least once a year. Through this annual review, we assess the effectiveness of our policies and procedures, seek feedback from stakeholders, identify emerging risks, and continuously enhance our practices. This approach ensures that our stance remains robust, relevant, and aligned with statutory requirements and community expectations.
