This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the measures Florist Bowes Park takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations, our supply chains, and our relationships. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Bowes Park, we acknowledge our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethics and human rights, ensuring the wellbeing and dignity of all those connected to our work.
Florist Bowes Park maintains a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to preventing slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. This policy is embedded in our company values and guides all decision-making processes, from sourcing to customer delivery.
As part of our sourcing responsibilities, we conduct thorough due diligence checks on all of our suppliers, whether they source flowers, plants, materials, or other goods and services. Our procurement processes ensure that we only work with reputable suppliers who share our values and adhere to robust anti-slavery and ethical compliance standards. We regularly review our supplier relationships and require them to confirm compliance with all relevant legislation and ethical codes of conduct. If any concerns arise regarding a supplier's practices, appropriate remedial action is taken, including possible termination of the business relationship.
We invest in regular training for all our staff members to enable them to recognise potential indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. Training covers our zero tolerance policy, reporting channels, and the legal and ethical obligations for everyone involved in our operations. By equipping our team with knowledge and resources, we empower them to act responsibly should they encounter any suspicious activity or maltreatment of workers, whether within our business or among our suppliers.
We maintain clear, accessible channels through which staff, suppliers, and members of the public can raise concerns or suspicions of modern slavery. Reports can be made confidentially, and we are dedicated to supporting anyone who brings forward relevant information. Any disclosure is taken seriously, thoroughly investigated, and followed up with appropriate action to ensure the matter is resolved and no form of retaliation occurs against any whistleblowers.
Florist Bowes Park is committed to continuous improvement in our fight against modern slavery. Our policy, processes, and effectiveness are reviewed annually by management to ensure that our modern slavery practices remain robust and current. Adjustments are made as necessary, including updates to staff training, supplier vetting procedures, and reporting mechanisms, to respond to any new risks or changes in legislation.
Protecting our community and upholding human rights are at the core of our ethos as a local florist. We recognise that our responsibility extends beyond compliance—it is about fostering trust with local households, businesses, and individuals. This statement reinforces our unwavering commitment to ethical business practices in Bowes Park and to safeguarding all those within our supply chain.
