At Florist Coulsdon, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted florist serving Coulsdon’s households and businesses. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring that modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation, has no place in our operations or supply chains. Our zero-tolerance approach reflects both our values and our dedication to customer trust and community wellbeing.
Modern slavery is a serious violation of fundamental human rights. Florist Coulsdon has a strict zero tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies at every level of our business, from direct employees to contracted suppliers. We expect everyone representing or working with Florist Coulsdon to fully adhere to this standard, and any breach is regarded as a matter of utmost severity warranting immediate action.
We understand that our responsibility extends beyond our immediate operations to those of our suppliers and partners. As such, we conduct careful due diligence when selecting suppliers, especially those providing flowers, plants, packaging, and ancillary products. This process includes requesting clear evidence that suppliers uphold fair labour practices and are not complicit in any form of modern slavery. Where necessary, we seek written assurances and monitor ongoing compliance through periodic reviews. Should any supplier fail to meet our ethical standards, we will act swiftly to re-evaluate and, if needed, terminate the relationship.
Awareness and education are essential components in preventing modern slavery. All staff at Florist Coulsdon receive induction training about our zero-tolerance policy and guidance on recognising signs of modern slavery. We also offer annual refresher sessions to keep our team updated on evolving risks and best practices. We believe empowering our employees with the right knowledge is crucial in safeguarding our workplace and the broader supply chain.
Florist Coulsdon encourages transparency and an open culture in which all concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. We provide clear internal channels for employees, suppliers, and customers to report any suspected incidents of modern slavery or unethical conduct. Every report is treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly by senior management. We are committed to taking prompt corrective action wherever appropriate to uphold our zero tolerance policy.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to reflect our ongoing commitment and the evolving landscape of ethical risks. Our review process considers feedback from staff, results of supplier audits, and developments in human rights legislation. By maintaining a proactive approach, Florist Coulsdon strengthens its role as a responsible business partner and community member in Coulsdon and beyond.
Serving both local households and businesses, Florist Coulsdon acknowledges that our standards and actions shape not just our own business, but also the expectations of those with whom we work. We view the fight against modern slavery as an ongoing responsibility and are steadfast in our commitment to ethical practices throughout all aspects of our operation.
