Florist Bexley is dedicated to operating with unwavering integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights in every aspect of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Bexley, we recognise our responsibility to help eliminate all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking from our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines our ongoing commitment, practical steps, and core values regarding the prevention of modern slavery.
Florist Bexley has a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We will not knowingly support or deal with any supplier or organisation involved in such practices. This policy covers all forms of slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking, both within our direct business operations and through our wider supply network.
We understand that supply chains can be complex and may conceal risks of modern slavery, especially in industries such as horticulture and logistics. Therefore, we conduct thorough due diligence on all suppliers before entering into agreements. This involves risk assessments, seeking assurances of ethical working standards, and, where feasible, requesting declarations of compliance with anti-slavery legislations. We expect our suppliers and partners to share our values and to actively work towards eradicating exploitative practices from their own operations and supply chains.
Florist Bexley believes awareness and vigilance are crucial in combating modern slavery. All team members receive training to understand the signs of modern slavery, learn how it can affect the supply chain, and know the steps required to report any concerns. We are committed to fostering a workplace culture in which all colleagues have the confidence and knowledge to challenge unethical behaviour.
We encourage the reporting of any suspicions or concerns regarding modern slavery or unethical conduct, whether within Florist Bexley or in our supply chain. Staff and partners are reassured that they may raise any issues confidentially, without fear of victimisation or reprisal. Clear reporting channels are maintained, and all reports will be reviewed by our management team and investigated with urgency and sensitivity. Where necessary, external authorities will be notified, and appropriate action will be taken.
We recognise that the risks of modern slavery are both ongoing and evolving. Florist Bexley is therefore committed to reviewing our policies and procedures annually to ensure efficacy and respond to new information or risks. This review process ensures that our approach to preventing modern slavery is robust, relevant, and effective. Our management team takes overall responsibility for the implementation and regular updating of this statement and associated procedures.
Our commitment to tackling modern slavery is an integral part of our responsibilities as a local, trusted florist. As we serve the households and businesses of Bexley, we pledge to pursue the highest ethical standards both in our shop and throughout our supply chain. We believe that by working together—staff, suppliers, and customers alike—we contribute to a fairer, safer community free from exploitation.
