Modern Slavery Statement – Our Role as a Trusted Redbridge Florist

Our Approach to Preventing Modern Slavery

At Florist Redbridge, we are steadfast in our commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards across all our operations. As a respected florist serving households and businesses throughout Redbridge, we recognise our fundamental responsibility to ensure that our business and supply chains remain free of modern slavery and human trafficking.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate with a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation. Our approach is guided by strong moral principles and a desire to influence positive change within our industry. We expect and require all those with whom we conduct business—suppliers, contractors, and partners—to share and adhere to the same uncompromising standards.

Supplier Due Diligence

Florist Redbridge recognises the importance of carefully scrutinising our supply chains. Before establishing relationships with suppliers, we carry out appropriate risk assessments and due diligence to ensure that modern slavery is not present within their operations. This includes seeking declarations of compliance with relevant labour laws and ethical supply chain practices. We engage only with suppliers who can demonstrate clear evidence of socially responsible conduct and a transparent approach to employment.

Staff Training and Awareness

Prevention is most effective when everyone is informed and vigilant. That is why we provide ongoing training to all staff, ensuring they are aware of the signs of modern slavery and understand their role in upholding our standards. Employees are educated about the importance of sourcing ethically and how to report any suspicious behaviour or concerns, both internally and throughout our supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We foster an open culture where employees, suppliers, and customers can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of reprisal. Clear channels are available to report suspected instances of modern slavery or unethical conduct. All reports are treated seriously, investigated thoroughly, and acted upon promptly where appropriate. We are dedicated to safeguarding those who speak out against injustice.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our Modern Slavery Statement is subject to annual review by senior management. During this process, we evaluate the effectiveness of our measures, examine any incidents reported, and consider advancements in industry standards. We are committed to identifying areas for improvement and strengthening our procedures in response to the evolving challenges of modern slavery prevention.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Serving the Redbridge community is a privilege we do not take lightly. We understand that our responsibility extends beyond delivering high-quality floral arrangements—it includes cultivating a business environment founded on respect, integrity, and social responsibility. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our promise to operate with care and consideration for all those connected to our business, and to continue to serve local households and businesses as a trusted Redbridge florist.
