At Flowers New Eltham, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity in every aspect of our operations. As a florist serving households and businesses across New Eltham, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our commitment to preventing all forms of modern slavery, from forced labour and servitude, to human trafficking and child labour.
We operate under a strict zero tolerance policy for modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not, and will never, condone or allow any form of exploitation within our business or among those we do business with. This applies to our employees, suppliers, contractors, and any other partners or associates. Flowers New Eltham expects all stakeholders to share our commitment to responsible and ethical business practices.
Our commitment starts at the source. We carefully vet our suppliers, growers, and distributors to ensure that they uphold the same high standards we do. As part of our due diligence process, we assess suppliers for their employment practices, working conditions, and compliance with anti-slavery legislation. We seek assurances that suppliers operate transparent and fair labour practices, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships with those who fail to meet our ethical standards. We strive to build lasting partnerships with suppliers who have robust systems in place to detect and prevent any risk of modern slavery.
Flowers New Eltham provides training and information to all our staff to ensure they understand the signs of modern slavery and know what action to take if concerns arise. This training forms part of our ongoing commitment to a responsible workplace culture. Our team is equipped to recognise potential risks in both our operations and supply chain, and staff are encouraged to report any concerns promptly and without fear of reprisal.
We have established clear channels for reporting any suspected cases of modern slavery. All staff, customers, and suppliers are encouraged to raise concerns if they believe that someone connected to Flowers New Eltham may be at risk. All reports are taken seriously, treated in confidence, and investigated thoroughly and impartially. We believe that open communication and accountability are crucial in the fight against exploitation.
Our Modern Slavery Statement and related policies are reviewed annually. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our measures and update our practices in line with legal developments and best practice guidance. Our aim is to continually strengthen our efforts to root out any risks of modern slavery in our business or supply chain.
As a trusted florist in the heart of New Eltham, we are proud to serve local households and businesses. We recognise that upholding ethical standards is key to earning and maintaining that trust. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to our community and our unwavering commitment to a fair, safe, and transparent business environment for all.
