At Florist Wimbledon, we are firmly committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses across Wimbledon, we recognise our responsibility to contribute to the global effort to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines our zero tolerance approach, the due diligence we carry out regarding suppliers, our staff training initiatives, dedicated reporting channels, and our commitment to reviewing and enhancing our practices every year.
Florist Wimbledon maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies to all aspects of our business operations and supply chain. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers, partners, contractors, and any organisation that represents us or acts on our behalf. We do not knowingly work with any entity that engages in, or is complicit with, modern slavery. Any breach of this policy is taken extremely seriously and will result in the immediate termination of business relations.
As an integral part of our commitment, we conduct thorough due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. This process includes assessing the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within their own operations and wider supply chains. We require suppliers to demonstrate their own efforts to eliminate forced labour and exploitation and to confirm their compliance with relevant legislative requirements. Where appropriate, suppliers are asked to sign declarations confirming adherence to ethical business practices. We conduct periodic reviews and audits to ensure ongoing compliance.
Our staff are our first line of defence against modern slavery. We ensure all team members are made aware of the risks associated with modern slavery and are trained to identify potential signs both within our business and our supply chains. Regular training sessions are held to reinforce understanding and highlight practical steps that staff can take if they suspect any form of exploitation. We are committed to fostering a workplace culture in which employees feel confident and empowered to speak out about any concerns they may have regarding unethical practices.
Florist Wimbledon encourages an open environment in which staff, suppliers, and customers can raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical conduct without fear of reprisal. We provide accessible and confidential channels for reporting any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery within our business or supply chain. All concerns raised will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed in accordance with our disciplinary and remedial procedures.
We are dedicated to continually strengthening our approach as best practices evolve and risks change. Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. Each year, we evaluate our policies, procedures, and supply chain relationships to identify areas for improvement. Where necessary, we implement enhanced measures to further mitigate risks of modern slavery and strengthen our compliance.
At Florist Wimbledon, we acknowledge the trust our customers place in us as a leading florist serving local households and businesses. We are committed to upholding high ethical standards not just because it is required, but because it is integral to who we are as a valued member of our community. This statement reflects our collective responsibility to protect human rights and promote fairness in everything we do.
