At Florist Bloomsbury, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted florist serving households and businesses across the Bloomsbury community. As a valued part of the local landscape, we are committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business operations or supply chains. This statement sets out the actions we have taken and continue to take to prevent these abhorrent practices, in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Florist Bloomsbury maintains a strict zero tolerance stance towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We set clear standards and expectations for every aspect of our operations, making it abundantly clear that exploitation, forced labour, or servitude will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Our zero tolerance policy applies not only to our direct employees, but also extends to every individual and entity we engage with, including suppliers, contractors, and service providers.
Our supply chain relationships are integral to the quality and ethical standards of our business. We conduct thorough due diligence when selecting new suppliers, requesting confirmation that they, too, uphold the principles of fair and safe working conditions. This means we ask all prospective and existing suppliers to provide assurance that they comply with the Modern Slavery Act and have appropriate policies in place. Where possible, we prioritise working with local suppliers and those with transparent practices. Should any risks or instances of modern slavery be identified in our supply chains, we take immediate and decisive action, including terminating relationships as necessary.
Our commitment to combating modern slavery is reinforced through comprehensive training and communication. All members of the Florist Bloomsbury team, from management to shop floor, are provided with training designed to increase awareness and understanding of modern slavery risks. This enables our staff to recognise indicators of potential exploitation and respond effectively. We believe education is a powerful tool for prevention, and we invest in regularly refreshing this training to ensure relevance and impact.
We actively encourage openness and transparency at every level of our organisation. Florist Bloomsbury provides a safe and accessible reporting mechanism for employees and stakeholders who have concerns about potential modern slavery issues. All reports are treated with the utmost seriousness and confidentiality, and no one will suffer any adverse consequences for raising concerns in good faith. We are committed to investigating any suspicions thoroughly and, where necessary, engaging with the relevant authorities to ensure the safety and welfare of all individuals involved.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to assess the effectiveness of our measures and to identify areas for improvement. We are dedicated to continuous progress and seek regular feedback from our team and partners to ensure our approach remains robust and proactive. Our review process includes an evaluation of new risks, developments in legislation, and best practices in the prevention of modern slavery, ensuring that Florist Bloomsbury remains a responsible and vigilant organisation.
We are proud to operate within the Bloomsbury community and take our ethical responsibilities seriously. Our commitment to challenging and eradicating modern slavery reflects the values we share with our customers and the trust placed in us as a local business. Through ongoing vigilance and collaboration, Florist Bloomsbury pledges to play its part in creating a fair and just society for all.
