Florist Acton is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and responsibility in all areas of our business. We recognise the ongoing challenges posed by modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labour, both within the UK and internationally. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Acton, we acknowledge our role in ensuring our operations and supply chains remain free from any form of exploitation.
At Florist Acton, we operate under a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. Any form of forced labour, child labour, servitude, or deceptive recruiting for labour is strictly prohibited within our business and supply chain. We expect our employees, partners, and suppliers to share this commitment, and will take immediate action should we become aware of any breach.
As a retailer reliant on a global supply chain for flowers, materials, and related goods, we conduct thorough due diligence when selecting suppliers. All suppliers, whether local or international, are required to confirm compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and uphold fair employment practices. Our supplier assessment process involves reviewing their labour standards, documented policies, and historical compliance. Ongoing monitoring allows us to identify and address potential risks at the earliest stage.
Florist Acton provides ongoing training for all staff to ensure a comprehensive understanding of modern slavery, human trafficking, and our company’s policies. Training includes information about identifying signs of exploitation, the importance of reporting concerns, and best practices for maintaining an ethical workplace. By empowering our team with knowledge and responding proactively to concerns, we reinforce our organisational culture of vigilance and accountability.
We maintain accessible and confidential internal channels through which employees and external parties can report any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery within our business or supply chain. Staff are encouraged to voice their concerns without fear of retaliation, in line with our whistleblowing policy. All reported incidents or suspicions are thoroughly investigated by senior management, and appropriate action is taken to address validated concerns and prevent recurrence.
Florist Acton is committed to reviewing and updating this Modern Slavery Statement each year as part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and improvement. We regularly evaluate the effectiveness of our processes and update our approach in response to evolving best practices and legal requirements. Lessons learned from any reported incidents, changes in regulation, or shifts in our operating environment are incorporated into our annual review to strengthen our preventive measures further.
As an established florist in Acton, we are proud to serve our local households and businesses. We believe that maintaining a supply chain free from modern slavery is a fundamental part of our role as a responsible local business. This statement represents our pledge to act ethically, serve our community with integrity, and continue earning the trust placed in us by our customers and partners.
