As a trusted florist in Beckenham, serving both local households and businesses, Beckenham Florist recognises the fundamental importance of upholding human rights and promoting ethical practices throughout our operations and supply chain. We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all facets of our business. This statement outlines the steps and measures we have put in place to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our business or any of our supply chains.
Beckenham Florist maintains a zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept any form of forced or compulsory labour, servitude, or bonded labour in our organisation or in the businesses we work with. We expect our suppliers and their contractors to uphold the same high standards, and any breach of this policy will result in swift and decisive action, including the potential for terminating business relationships.
We understand that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any level of the supply chain. To address this, we carry out due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. This involves assessing our suppliers’ business practices, seeking self-certification of compliance with anti-slavery requirements, and, where relevant, requesting supporting documentation. We prioritise working with suppliers who share our commitment to fair and ethical working conditions. Regular reviews of our supply chain help us to remain vigilant and proactive in identifying and addressing any potential risks.
All members of the Beckenham Florist team are provided with training to help them identify and understand the warning signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. We foster a culture of integrity, openness, and respect for human rights. Training materials are reviewed and updated periodically to reflect evolving best practices and legal expectations, ensuring ongoing staff awareness and engagement with this important issue.
We encourage all our staff, suppliers, and business partners to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking within our business or supply chain. We provide secure and confidential reporting channels for anyone wishing to voice concerns or suspicions. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly, with necessary remedial action taken where appropriate. There will be no reprisals for those who report concerns in good faith.
Beckenham Florist is committed to the ongoing review and improvement of our modern slavery prevention measures. We conduct an annual assessment of our policies and procedures to ensure their effectiveness and relevance. Any findings, feedback, or changes in the legal landscape inform updates to our approach. Through regular review, we strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical responsibility in everything we do.
Upholding a robust modern slavery policy is not only a matter of legal compliance, but reflects our values and our role as a trusted florist serving the Beckenham community. We believe that every individual has the right to fair work and dignity and are dedicated to maintaining the trust placed in us by our customers and partners. Our ongoing commitments in this area reflect both our ethical obligations and our responsibility to the community we serve.
