At Florist Little Ilford, we recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation, tragically remains a global issue. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Little Ilford, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring that our business operations and supply chains are free from any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. This statement outlines the steps we take to meet our responsibilities and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to human rights and ethical practices.
We operate under a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery. Whether within our own operations or throughout our supply chains, we do not, under any circumstances, tolerate any form of forced labour, servitude, or human trafficking. We expect the same stance from all those with whom we do business, including suppliers, contractors, and business partners.
Maintaining a supply chain free from modern slavery is fundamental to our values as a local business. Prior to engaging with new suppliers, Florist Little Ilford performs thorough due diligence checks that include an assessment of their labour standards, working conditions, and practices regarding modern slavery. Where relevant, we require suppliers to demonstrate their own compliance with anti-slavery legislation and to communicate their policies to us. We continue to monitor our supply chains, and if evidence of malpractice is found, we reserve the right to take immediate action, including terminating the business relationship.
All staff at Florist Little Ilford are provided with appropriate training and guidance to recognise potential signs of modern slavery and understand the steps to take should they have any concerns. Building awareness and equipping our team with knowledge is key to our prevention efforts. Training is reviewed and updated in line with changes to legislation and industry best practices.
We actively encourage our employees and anyone connected to our business to report any concerns relating to modern slavery within our operations or supply chains. All concerns are treated with sensitivity and seriousness, with multiple internal management channels available for reporting in confidence. We are committed to investigating thoroughly and responding swiftly to any reports received.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and reflect any new regulatory requirements, business developments, or feedback from staff and suppliers. Florist Little Ilford is dedicated to continuous improvement, regularly evaluating our processes and policies to adapt proactively to evolving risks.
As a trusted florist deeply connected with Little Ilford’s households and businesses, we understand the importance of acting responsibly for the benefit of our customers, employees, and community. Our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery is a vital part of the trust placed in us by our clients and partners, and we strive each day to uphold these shared values through transparent, ethical business conduct.
