At Florist Barking, we recognise our responsibility as a local business serving the Barking community, including both households and businesses. As a trusted provider of floral products and services, we are fully committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the measures we take to combat all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains.
Florist Barking operates a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery, human trafficking, or forced labour. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity across all our business relationships. We strongly prohibit any engagement, direct or indirect, in practices associated with modern slavery or exploitation, and expect the same of our suppliers and partners.
Our products are sourced from reputable suppliers who share our commitment to human rights and fair labour practices. We conduct due diligence on all suppliers, assessing risk indicators related to modern slavery and forced labour. This includes, where appropriate, requesting information regarding their own anti-slavery policies and the steps they take to ensure ethical working conditions throughout their supply chains. We will not work with suppliers who are unable to demonstrate adequate steps to prevent modern slavery.
Florist Barking provides regular training to all our staff members so that they can identify, prevent, and report concerns relating to modern slavery. Training covers how to spot signs of exploitation, the importance of vigilance within our workplace and supply chain, and the correct procedures for raising any concerns. This helps foster a culture of awareness and responsibility among all members of our team.
We have established accessible and confidential channels for reporting any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery, whether they pertain to our business or our supply chain. Staff members are encouraged to speak up without fear of retaliation, knowing that their concerns will be taken seriously and addressed sensitively and promptly.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. We are committed to continually improving our practices in line with emerging risks and changing legal requirements. Our annual reviews help ensure we remain vigilant and proactive in our efforts to identify and tackle the risks of modern slavery.
Florist Barking takes our legal and moral responsibilities seriously in ensuring that slavery and human trafficking do not occur within our organisation or through our supply chains. Through these measures, we strive to demonstrate leadership as a responsible business and trusted florist in Barking, safeguarding the welfare of everyone connected with our operations. Our proactive stance against modern slavery reflects our values and dedication to the local households and businesses we serve.
