As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Wanstead, we understand our shared responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards throughout our operations. Wanstead Florist is fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chain. This statement describes the proactive measures we take to combat these serious issues and reflects our ongoing responsibility to the Wanstead community we proudly serve.
Wanstead Florist operates a firm zero tolerance policy towards any forms of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. We categorically prohibit such practices within our business and expect the same rigorous commitment from all our suppliers and business partners. We believe everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and we are unwavering in our insistence that our supply chains and workplace are free from exploitation.
We recognise that robust supply chain management is key to reducing the risk of modern slavery. When working with suppliers and business partners, we conduct careful due diligence to ensure modern slavery laws and ethical labour standards are adhered to at all times. This includes:
If any supplier is found to be non-compliant with our standards, we will act promptly and, where appropriate, terminate the relationship.
Our staff are essential in our efforts to detect and prevent modern slavery. Wanstead Florist invests in regular training to ensure all employees understand what modern slavery entails, the risks it poses, and how to recognise potential warning signs. Training sessions are designed to be accessible and practical, equipping our team with the tools to act responsibly and refer any concerns appropriately. We foster a culture where safeguarding human rights is everyone’s responsibility.
Transparency and open communication underpin our approach to eradicating modern slavery. We encourage all staff, suppliers, and stakeholders to raise concerns about possible instances of exploitation in good faith, without fear of reprisal. Clear reporting channels are in place to ensure that issues can be flagged confidentially and, where appropriate, escalated for swift investigation and remedial action. Anonymous reporting mechanisms are available to further enhance safety and peace of mind for all whistleblowers.
Our modern slavery statement and related policies are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, compliant, and relevant to the evolving nature of risks within our sector. We are committed to continual improvement and, where needed, adapt our safeguards to new best practice standards and emerging information. Lessons learned from previous years inform our approach and help us build a more resilient, ethical business.
Wanstead Florist is dedicated to acting ethically and operating with integrity in all our business activities. We recognise that addressing modern slavery is an active and ongoing process, one that reflects our responsibility as a leading florist to the Wanstead community. By embedding robust safeguards in our operations and championing transparency, we strive to be a force for positive change in the fight against modern slavery.
