At East Sheen Florist, we are fully committed to ensuring that modern slavery, in any form, plays no part in our operations or supply chains. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the East Sheen community, our reputation is built on trust, integrity, and a deep sense of social responsibility. This statement affirms our pledge to uphold exemplary ethical standards and to actively prevent exploitation within the floral industry and beyond.
East Sheen Florist adopts a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy is integral to the way we conduct business and guides our relationships with staff, suppliers, customers, and the wider community. We categorically reject any engagement with organisations or individuals found to be complicit in any kind of forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, or other exploitative practices.
We recognize that modern slavery can affect all sectors and industries, including our own. Accordingly, we conduct thorough due diligence on all prospective and existing suppliers to ensure they adhere to ethical labour standards. Our supplier approval process involves a review of employment policies, working conditions, and evidence of compliance with applicable laws regarding labour and human rights. Ongoing monitoring, including periodic reviews and, where appropriate, requesting supporting documentation, forms a key part of our approach to maintaining transparent and ethical supply chains.
We believe that education is vital to the prevention of modern slavery. Every member of the East Sheen Florist team receives training to develop their understanding of modern slavery risks and to empower them to identify and address concerns. Training encompasses the various manifestations of modern slavery, the signs to watch for, and appropriate actions to take should a risk be suspected. Our aim is to foster a culture of vigilance and accountability at every level of our organisation.
East Sheen Florist maintains clear, confidential, and accessible channels for the reporting of any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery, whether within our own business or among our suppliers. All reports are taken seriously and handled with discretion, and we are committed to ensuring that those who raise concerns are protected from retaliation. We encourage openness and understand the importance of providing a safe environment for all staff and contractors to speak out.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to assess the effectiveness of our measures and to identify areas for ongoing improvement. We remain vigilant in adapting to emerging risks and ensuring our policies, processes, and training remain relevant and robust.
As a long-standing member of the East Sheen community, serving local households and businesses, we acknowledge that our responsibilities extend far beyond the quality of our floral products. Upholding human rights and promoting ethical practices is fundamental to who we are and how we serve our community. Through these actions, we aim to foster a culture of respect, dignity, and transparency, both within our business and across our supply chains.
