Florist Bankside takes its responsibilities to uphold ethical standards seriously. As a trusted florist serving the Bankside community's households and businesses, we are fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to ensure an ethical supply chain and a safe working environment for our team and partners.
We operate with a strict zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced or child labour. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships, ensuring that slavery and human trafficking are not present within our own business or supply chains.
Florist Bankside believes that ethical sourcing is a foundation of our reputation as a local supplier. We select our suppliers and partners with care, incorporating appropriate due diligence procedures in the procurement process. This includes risk assessments and regular reviews to ensure our suppliers demonstrate robust policies, transparency, and traceability relating to modern slavery and human rights. Suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with the Modern Slavery Act and uphold internationally recognised standards of labour practices.
We recognise the importance of equipping our staff with the knowledge to identify the signs of modern slavery. All employees at Florist Bankside receive training and guidance to promote awareness and understanding of the issue. Training is periodically refreshed to cover new developments, risk factors specific to our industry, and the practical steps staff can take if concerns arise.
Florist Bankside encourages openness and transparency. Our staff are made aware of the channels available for reporting suspicions or concerns about unethical practices, including those related to modern slavery and human trafficking. Reports can be made in confidence and without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and acted upon in accordance with our internal procedures. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and creating a culture where everyone feels safe to speak up.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our related internal policies are subject to an annual review. We monitor the effectiveness of our procedures, update training and due diligence as required, and adapt our approach as needed to address emerging risks. This ensures continuous improvement and alignment with current legislation and best practice.
As your local florist in Bankside, we recognise our duty not just to comply with the law but to serve as a responsible business partner to local households and businesses. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery reflects the trust placed in us by our customers and our pride in supporting a fair, safe, and ethical community for all.
