Brunswick Park Florist Modern Slavery Commitment
Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
As a leading florist in Brunswick Park, we understand the importance of ethical business practices and social responsibility. Modern slavery, which includes slavery, servitude, forced labor, and human trafficking, is a global issue that affects all industries. At Brunswick Park Florist, we are committed to ensuring that our business and supply chains remain free from any form of modern slavery or human exploitation.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Brunswick Park Florist operates a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in all its forms. We are dedicated to conducting all business with integrity and fairness. Should we become aware of any instance of modern slavery in our operations or within our supply chains, immediate and decisive action will be taken to address and rectify the situation. We expect the same high standards from all of our suppliers, partners, and contractors.
Supplier Due Diligence
Recognising that our suppliers play a crucial role in our operations, we have implemented a robust due diligence process to ensure our supply chains meet our ethical standards. This process involves:
- Requesting suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws.
- Assessing potential risk areas when selecting new suppliers.
- Conducting regular reviews and assessments of existing suppliers, particularly those operating in sectors or regions of higher risk.
- Reserving the right to terminate supplier contracts if we identify breaches of our modern slavery policy.
Our florist sources flowers, foliage, and other supplies from reputable growers and distributors who share our commitment to ethical labor practices.
Staff Training and Awareness
We believe that awareness and vigilance among our staff are essential for preventing modern slavery. All Brunswick Park Florist team members receive training on:
- The definition and risks associated with modern slavery and human trafficking.
- How to recognize signs of exploitation in the workplace and wider supply chain.
- The steps to take if they have concerns or suspect instances of modern slavery.
Training is refreshed annually to ensure ongoing staff understanding and engagement with our policies and procedures.
Reporting and Whistleblowing Channels
We encourage all our employees, suppliers, and business partners to report any concerns related to slavery or human trafficking linked to our operations or supply chains. Reports can be made confidentially and without fear of victimisation. We are committed to investigating all reports thoroughly and taking appropriate action where necessary.
Annual Policy Review
To ensure that our modern slavery policy remains effective and up to date, we conduct a comprehensive review every year. This annual review considers any changes in legislation, operational risks, or business practices. Where necessary, we revise our procedures and training to maintain best practice standards.
Our Local Responsibility
As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Brunswick Park, we take our commitment to human rights and fair labor practices seriously. Our modern slavery statement reflects this responsibility and our dedication to creating a safe, transparent, and ethical business for our customers, staff, and community.
