At Greenwich Flowers, we recognise the vital importance of acting responsibly and ethically in every aspect of our operations. As a respected florist serving households and businesses across Greenwich, we are acutely aware of our duty to combat modern slavery and human trafficking wherever they may be found, both within our company and throughout our supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the proactive steps we are taking to ensure that our practices are free from any form of slavery, forced labour, or exploitation.
Greenwich Flowers maintains a strict zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to operating transparently and ethically, ensuring that all forms of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour have no place in our business or with our suppliers. All staff, management, and suppliers are made aware of this uncompromising stance and are required to act in accordance with our values and standards.
We recognise that the risks of modern slavery are often embedded within complex supply chains. To address this, Greenwich Flowers undertakes comprehensive due diligence when selecting and working with suppliers. Our supplier vetting process includes screening for evidence of ethical practices, fair working conditions, and legal compliance in relation to anti-slavery legislation. We expect all suppliers to actively support our commitment by adhering to our Anti-Slavery Policy and providing evidence of their own preventative measures. Any supplier found in violation will be subject to contract termination.
Education and vigilance are critical in the fight against modern slavery. All Greenwich Flowers staff receive training on how to identify the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as instruction on the procedures for raising concerns. This training is regularly updated to ensure it reflects legislative and industry best practice developments. By fostering a well-informed and observant workforce, we can help to protect vulnerable individuals both within our business and beyond.
Greenwich Flowers recognises that it is essential for employees and external parties to have clear and confidential means to report any suspicions of modern slavery. We have established robust internal reporting channels that enable staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders to safely voice concerns, confident that they will be taken seriously and investigated appropriately. We are devoted to supporting anyone who brings forward information regarding possible slavery or exploitation, ensuring protection from any form of retaliation.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure effectiveness, relevance, and compliance with evolving legislation. Greenwich Flowers commits to continual improvement by assessing our policies, strengthening supplier assessments, updating training programmes, and monitoring the risks of modern slavery within our operations and wider network. Feedback from staff and stakeholders forms an integral part of our review process, ensuring transparency and accountability at every stage.
As a long-standing Greenwich florist, we understand the trust our community places in us. Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery is central to our identity as a responsible local business. We believe that ethical practices, supply chain integrity, and social responsibility not only safeguard those who are most vulnerable, but also reflect the standards our customers expect from us. Greenwich Flowers remains steadfast in upholding these duties, championing dignity, fairness, and respect across our entire network.
