Florist Petts Wood is wholly committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards across all aspects of our business. Serving the local households and businesses of Petts Wood, we recognise our responsibility to actively combat modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation. This statement sets out the steps we are taking to uphold these commitments and ensure that our operations reflect our values as a trusted local florist.
Modern slavery in all its forms has no place in our business or supply chains. Florist Petts Wood operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking. We expect all members of our team, as well as suppliers and partners, to uphold these standards. Any evidence or suspicion of modern slavery will result in prompt investigation and appropriate action, including terminating supplier contracts or employment as required.
We understand that our supply chains may carry risks when it comes to ethical sourcing and fair labour practices. To address these risks, Florist Petts Wood conducts thorough due diligence on all our suppliers. We aim to work with reputable suppliers who can demonstrate a clear commitment to preventing modern slavery through their own policies and conduct. Where necessary, we request documentation, including ethical sourcing statements and policy evidence, and expect suppliers to comply fully with relevant legislative requirements. We do not knowingly work with any supplier involved in modern slavery or human trafficking.
Our team forms the backbone of Florist Petts Wood and plays a crucial role in identifying and preventing potential instances of modern slavery. We regularly educate and train our staff to recognise the signs of labour exploitation, assess risk in the supply chain, and understand our internal policies regarding modern slavery. Ongoing training ensures that our team remains vigilant and confident in reporting and responding to concerns related to unethical labour practices.
Florist Petts Wood encourages an open culture where concerns about modern slavery, unusual supplier practices, or any unethical behaviour can be raised without fear of retaliation. We provide clear channels for employees and suppliers to confidentially report any suspicions of modern slavery. Reports are handled by designated senior management, ensuring impartial review and prompt action. All concerns are fully investigated, and, where required, reported to relevant authorities.
Recognising that risks and legal requirements can evolve, Florist Petts Wood reviews this Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies on an annual basis. We assess the effectiveness of our current systems, monitor updates in best practices, and identify areas for improvement. This cyclical process enables us to strengthen our approach year on year and remain vigilant in protecting the wellbeing of everyone in our business and supply chain.
As your local florist, serving Petts Wood's residents and businesses, we understand the importance of ethical conduct and leading by example. This Modern Slavery Statement affirms our dedication to creating a transparent, safe, and fair environment for all. We encourage our community to join us in upholding human rights and dignity, ensuring that the flowers and services you receive are not just beautiful, but ethically sourced as well.
