At Florist Stratford, we are fully committed to providing an ethical and safe workplace for all, while delivering trusted floral services to the Stratford community. We recognize that modern slavery and human trafficking are pervasive global issues that can affect supply chains of every size. As a respected local florist serving households and businesses in Stratford, we take our responsibility seriously to prevent, identify, and eradicate any form of modern slavery within our operations and those of our suppliers.
Florist Stratford sources products and services from a range of suppliers, from local growers to national distributors. We conduct robust due diligence on all suppliers before and during our business relationships. This includes vetting suppliers for ethical practices and reviewing their stated commitments to combatting modern slavery. We seek written assurance from suppliers that they adhere to applicable laws related to labour rights and do not engage in or support modern slavery or human trafficking. If concerns are identified, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship unless immediate corrective action is taken.
Ensuring our staff understand the risks and signs of modern slavery is vital. All team members at Florist Stratford receive regular training to recognize potential indicators of forced labour, exploitation, or trafficking—both within our own operations and throughout our supply chain. Training encompasses the types of modern slavery, reporting mechanisms available, and individual responsibilities in upholding our standards. This supports our culture of vigilance and shared responsibility for ethical practice.
We are committed to supporting anyone who raises genuine concerns about modern slavery or unethical conduct, whether they work for us, supply us, or are otherwise connected with our business. Florist Stratford provides clear, confidential channels for staff and partners to raise concerns or suspicions without fear of retaliation. Reports are taken seriously and investigated sensitively, ensuring that appropriate remedial actions are taken where necessary. We actively encourage a culture in which all voices can be heard and respected.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and reflective of best practices and current legislation. As Florist Stratford grows and new risks emerge, we regularly assess and update our procedures. We are dedicated to continual improvement in our anti-slavery efforts, remaining vigilant and responsive to the evolving landscape of modern slavery regulation and guidance.
As a trusted florist in Stratford, we are proud to serve local households and businesses. We believe our customers, suppliers, and team all have the right to expect transparency and integrity in how we operate. Our Modern Slavery Statement not only demonstrates compliance with the law but also reflects our ongoing responsibility as an ethical local business. We value the trust placed in us and strive to continually advocate for respect, dignity, and fairness for everyone throughout our supply chain.
