As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses throughout Shoreditch, Shoreditch Florist recognizes its responsibility in upholding human rights and operating with integrity. Modern slavery, in all its forms including human trafficking, servitude, forced labour, and exploitation, has no place in our business or supply chains. We are committed to taking effective steps to ensure these practices are not present in any area of our operations.
We have a clear zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We expect all individuals and entities involved in our supply chain to share and uphold our values, ensuring that all work is voluntary and appropriately rewarded. Any breach of this policy by employees, suppliers, or subcontractors will trigger immediate action, which could include termination of contracts or employment.
Our flowers, plants, and giftware are sourced from both local and international suppliers. We operate a robust supplier due diligence process to identify, assess, and mitigate risks of modern slavery within our supply chain. Prior to entering into agreements, suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery standards. We prioritise working with partners who demonstrate clear ethical commitments and reserve the right to audit or visit suppliers as part of our ongoing vigilance.
Shoreditch Florist invests in training all team members, from management to front line florists, to understand the signs of modern slavery and the importance of vigilance. New staff receive induction on our code of conduct and modern slavery policy, and annual refresher sessions ensure continued awareness. This ongoing education creates a workplace culture where ethical practices are a shared responsibility.
We actively support an environment in which concerns relating to modern slavery can be raised confidently and without fear of reprisal. Staff are encouraged to report any suspected activity, whether within our operations or supply chain, through designated internal channels. All reports are treated seriously, promptly investigated, and appropriate action taken in line with our disciplinary procedures. We also make information about our reporting mechanisms available to suppliers and encourage escalation of any related concerns.
Our modern slavery statement and procedures are subject to an annual review by the management team to ensure ongoing effectiveness and relevance. In conducting this review, we assess risks, refine our due diligence processes, and update training as necessary. We remain committed to strengthening our practices, learning from industry developments, and adapting our approach where needed to meet the highest ethical standards.
We take pride in our role as a respected Shoreditch florist serving local households and businesses. Our modern slavery statement reflects not only compliance with legal requirements but also our commitment to supporting our vibrant community through fair, transparent, and humane practices. We believe that by taking meaningful action, we contribute to a supply chain and community free from exploitation, ensuring our customers can trust in the ethics behind every bouquet and arrangement we deliver.
