Florist Isle of Dogs is committed to upholding human rights and ethical standards in all our operations, supply chains, and business relationships. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking, reflecting our responsibility as a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the Isle of Dogs area. We believe that no one should be subjected to forced labour, servitude, or exploitation in any aspect of our business.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We expect our employees, suppliers, and all those linked to our business to adhere to these principles. Our policy is embedded in our core values and forms the foundation upon which all of our practices are built. Any breach of this policy, whether intentional or otherwise, is treated with the utmost seriousness and may result in the immediate termination of business relationships or disciplinary action as appropriate.
Given the nature of our industry, we recognise the importance of scrutinising our supply chain. We conduct comprehensive due diligence on all new and existing suppliers to ensure their compliance with anti-slavery laws and ethical sourcing standards. This involves verifying the legitimacy of suppliers, assessing their labour practices, and seeking assurances that they operate in accordance with our values. Our ongoing monitoring ensures that any risks of modern slavery are identified and addressed promptly.
At Florist Isle of Dogs, we invest in staff training to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking. All team members receive clear guidance on recognising the signs of exploitation and understanding their role in preventing abuse. This empowers our staff to not only comply with legal and ethical requirements, but also to engage confidently with suppliers and customers about our standards. Regular updates ensure our team stays informed on any new developments or risks related to modern slavery.
We encourage a culture of openness and accountability. Employees or external parties who suspect instances of modern slavery or unethical conduct can raise their concerns safely and confidentially through our internal reporting channels. We take all reports seriously and ensure that concerns are investigated thoroughly and impartially. Retaliation against individuals who report concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited, and we are committed to protecting whistleblowers from any adverse treatment.
This statement and our anti-slavery practices are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and aligned with best practices. Any changes in our business model, supply chains, or the legal landscape will trigger an immediate review and update if necessary. Progress and challenges are discussed at management level, and action plans are created to address any identified weaknesses or emerging risks.
As a florist rooted in the Isle of Dogs community, we take pride in being a responsible and ethical partner to our customers and suppliers. This Modern Slavery Statement is an important part of our ethos, underpinning the trust placed in us by local households and businesses. We remain resolute in our commitment to act with integrity in everything we do and to contribute positively to our community.
