As a trusted florist situated in the heart of Earls Court, serving homes and businesses throughout our vibrant local area, Earls Court Florist is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of ethics and integrity. We recognize that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation, is a pervasive global issue that requires robust vigilance and proactive intervention. This statement outlines the steps we take to ensure that modern slavery has no place within our operations or supply chains, reflecting both our legal and moral responsibilities to our community.
Earls Court Florist enforces a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We expect all employees, suppliers, and business partners to uphold this standard, ensuring that all flowers, materials, and services supplied to us are sourced in a manner that respects fundamental human rights. Any breach of this policy by our suppliers or staff will be considered a serious matter and may result in immediate termination of the business relationship or employment.
We recognize that our supply chain is integral to our ethical commitments. As such, we conduct strict due diligence on all suppliers, requiring clear evidence that they operate in accordance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. Our supplier approval process includes reviewing labour practices, ethical sourcing policies, and, where necessary, requesting supporting documentation to demonstrate compliance. We seek to work only with partners who share our values and expect them to cascade these requirements through their own supply chains.
The awareness and education of our team play a critical role in upholding our zero tolerance stance. All employees, from customer service staff to managers, receive ongoing guidance on how to recognize, report, and prevent modern slavery. Training covers the signs of exploitation, the reporting process, and our broader commitment to fair treatment and working conditions. By building a well-informed workforce, we ensure that everyone at Earls Court Florist understands their role in safeguarding human rights.
We maintain clear, confidential channels for our staff and suppliers to raise concerns related to modern slavery. Reports can be made securely and without fear of retaliation, ensuring issues are investigated thoroughly and dealt with promptly. Ensuring the availability of these reporting routes fosters a culture of transparency and trust throughout our organisation and supply chain.
The fight against modern slavery requires ongoing vigilance. We commit to reviewing this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated policies annually, or more frequently as required by changes in legislation or best practice. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our procedures, identify any areas for improvement, and update our training and due diligence protocols as necessary. This review process keeps us accountable and ensures our approach remains robust, relevant, and responsive to evolving risks.
At Earls Court Florist, we are proud of our strong reputation within the Earls Court community. We view our commitment to eradicating modern slavery as an essential aspect of the trust customers place in us. By striving to uphold these standards, we honour our responsibility not just to our business partners and staff, but to every local household and business we are privileged to serve.
