At Florist Shacklewell, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking across every aspect of our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the Shacklewell community, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in our business activities and supply chains. We are committed to acting transparently, with integrity, and in accordance with all applicable laws regarding anti-slavery and human trafficking.
Florist Shacklewell maintains a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking in any form. This principle is fundamental to our company ethos and is embedded in all our business relationships. Any form of modern slavery is wholly unacceptable and will not be tolerated under any circumstances, whether in our direct operations or within our value chain.
We understand that the greatest risks concerning modern slavery commonly arise within supply chains, which is why we take proactive steps to vet and monitor all our suppliers and business partners. Our due diligence procedures ensure that suppliers, whether providing flowers, packaging, or related products, are reputable and uphold ethical labour standards. We require all suppliers to confirm that they operate in compliance with anti-slavery legislation and to demonstrate their own efforts to prevent exploitation and unethical labour practices. If a supplier fails to meet these standards, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship.
Educating our team is an essential part of preventing modern slavery. We provide regular training for all staff members to raise awareness about the signs of modern slavery, highlight the importance of ethical sourcing, and inform them about our policies and procedures. Team members are encouraged and empowered to report any concerns regarding slavery or exploitation without fear of reprisal, fostering a culture of openness and responsibility.
Florist Shacklewell is committed to supporting individuals who raise concerns about possible instances of modern slavery. Staff, suppliers, and customers are encouraged to report suspected breaches of our policy through established internal channels. All reports are taken seriously and investigated expeditiously, with strict confidentiality maintained throughout the process. Appropriate remedial action will be taken should any concerns be substantiated.
We review and update our Modern Slavery Statement annually to ensure it remains effective and relevant. This review takes into account changes in legislation, evolving business practices, and feedback from stakeholders. By regularly assessing our processes and procedures, Florist Shacklewell demonstrates an ongoing commitment to ethical trading and continuous improvement in our fight against modern slavery.
As a florist trusted by local households and businesses, we believe our duty extends beyond beautiful blooms; it encompasses care for people at every stage of our supply chain. By upholding the highest ethical standards and working collaboratively with staff, suppliers, and customers, Florist Shacklewell pledges to help create a fairer, safer environment for everyone in our community and beyond.
