Orpington Florist is firmly committed to operating with integrity, respect, and care for our community. Our dedication to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking is integral to our values as a trusted local florist serving Orpington households and businesses. We recognise our responsibility to ensure that our operations and supply chains are free from any form of modern slavery or exploitation.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in all their forms. This applies to every aspect of our business, from sourcing flowers and supplies to delivering arrangements to our valued customers. We expect our suppliers, partners, and contractors to share our commitment and uphold these standards throughout their operations.
To uphold our standards, we carefully select our suppliers, conducting thorough due diligence to identify and mitigate risks associated with modern slavery. All suppliers must confirm that their own practices, and those of their own supply chains, are free from slavery and human trafficking. We periodically review supplier compliance and seek written assurances where appropriate. If any supplier or partner fails to meet our requirements, we will take prompt and decisive action, which may include terminating our business relationship.
We believe knowledge and awareness are key to preventing modern slavery. Orpington Florist provides training to all staff to help them understand what constitutes modern slavery and how to recognise signs of exploitation. Our training ensures every employee knows how to respond and report any concerns. By equipping our team with this knowledge, we strengthen our ability to monitor our own operations and support best practices within our network.
We encourage openness and support a culture where individuals feel comfortable raising concerns about modern slavery. Staff and partners are made aware of internal reporting channels so that concerns may be shared confidentially and without fear of reprisal. Each report is investigated promptly and appropriate action is taken where necessary. We are vigilant in ensuring that robust procedures are in place to handle complaints and escalate serious concerns as required.
Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our leadership team. This ensures that our policies, practices, and commitments are kept up to date with evolving legal requirements and best practices. We also reflect on the effectiveness of our measures and identify new opportunities for improvement. This process helps sustain our vigilance and dedication to combating modern slavery in every aspect of our business.
As a trusted Orpington florist, we are proud to serve local households and businesses. Our approach to modern slavery not only complies with legal obligations but also reflects the ethical standards expected by our customers and our community. We are committed to transparency and ongoing vigilance, ensuring that every transaction, bouquet, and partnership is built on respect, fairness, and integrity.
