Florist Covent Garden is dedicated to conducting business with integrity, responsibility, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery is a grave global concern, and we firmly believe it has no place in our business or supply chains. As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses throughout Covent Garden, we take seriously our ethical and social responsibility to act against all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and child exploitation.
We operate with a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. Our commitment extends across all aspects of our operations, including our workspaces, staff, suppliers, and third-party partners. We communicate our policy and expectations clearly to all employees and stakeholders to ensure that everyone who represents Florist Covent Garden aligns with our standards.
Florist Covent Garden understands that our obligations extend beyond our immediate operations. We are committed to identifying, assessing, and mitigating the risk of modern slavery throughout our supply chain. We partner only with reputable suppliers who uphold ethical labour practices. Prior to engagement, new suppliers are required to demonstrate their compliance with anti-slavery standards. We conduct periodic reviews and request formal confirmations from our suppliers that they, too, adhere to the same values and legal requirements.
Our staff are vital in ensuring that modern slavery is not present in our business or supply chains. All our employees receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding their role in preventing it. This includes regular briefings and accessible educational materials, empowering our team to act responsibly and confidently if they witness or suspect unethical practices.
We encourage a culture of openness and vigilance. Any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery can be raised confidentially by staff or stakeholders through clearly defined reporting channels. We ensure that all reports are handled sensitively, promptly investigated, and treated without tolerance for victimisation or retaliation. Protecting the wellbeing of those who come forward is essential to our approach.
We are committed to the ongoing review and improvement of our anti-slavery measures. Our Modern Slavery Statement, policies, and procedures are reviewed annually, or more frequently if needed, to reflect legal developments, changes in our business, or new risks identified in our supply chain. This ensures Florist Covent Garden remains vigilant, proactive, and accountable in upholding our zero-tolerance stance to modern slavery.
As a valued service provider to the Covent Garden community, we acknowledge our duty to champion ethical standards in all our interactions. Our commitment to fighting modern slavery not only safeguards individuals from exploitation but also promotes trust and integrity with the customers, households, and businesses we proudly serve. We welcome feedback and encourage all stakeholders to join us in this vital responsibility.
