At Florist Aldgate, we are resolutely committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Aldgate, we take our social responsibilities seriously. We uphold a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chains.
Florist Aldgate has a zero tolerance stance against all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and child labour. We do not condone or participate in practices that are contrary to fundamental human rights. Our aim is to foster a workplace and supply chain where dignity, respect, and fairness are respected and maintained at all times.
The flowers, plants, and goods we source are carefully selected from reputable suppliers. As part of our supplier due diligence process, we require all partners to declare their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking regulations. Prior to establishing new supplier relationships, we consider the risk of modern slavery and undertake assessments where necessary. Ongoing reviews are carried out to ensure established suppliers continue to meet our high ethical standards. We seek to work only with companies that share our values and take appropriate steps to minimise risks within their own operations and supply chains.
We believe education is critical to combating modern slavery. All Florist Aldgate staff receive training to raise awareness about the signs of modern slavery and the risks it poses within our sector. Training covers guidance on identifying potential issues, the appropriate action to take if suspicions arise, and our procedures for escalation. Through regular training sessions and updates, we empower our team to act responsibly and ethically in their daily work.
Florist Aldgate encourages a culture of openness and accountability. Any staff member or supplier who suspects, witnesses, or is made aware of a potential instance of modern slavery is encouraged to report the matter through our dedicated internal reporting channels. All reports are treated seriously and confidentially. We ensure that no individual faces retaliation or disadvantage when raising concerns in good faith. Investigations are handled swiftly and fairly, with appropriate corrective action taken if necessary.
We are committed to the continuous improvement of our policies and processes in line with best practice and evolving legislation. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually, or more often as needed. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of the steps we have taken to ensure that slavery and trafficking are not taking place in our operations or supply chains. Where improvements can be made, we act promptly to strengthen our approach.
Florist Aldgate recognises that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. As a trusted service provider in Aldgate, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards for the benefit of our customers, community, and workforce. Our commitment reflects the values that underpin our reputation as a leading local florist, and we remain vigilant and proactive in the fight against modern slavery in all its forms.
