Florist Charing Cross is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards across all aspects of our business. We have a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced or compulsory labour, and child labour. We are committed to operating responsibly, ensuring fair and safe working practices both within our own operations and throughout our supply chains. This stance underpins our reputation as a trusted florist serving the Charing Cross community’s households and businesses.
We recognise that the floristry industry often relies on global supply chains, which can sometimes pose risks. To mitigate these, we conduct rigorous due diligence on all our suppliers, whether local or international. Our assessment seeks to identify, monitor, and address any potential indications of modern slavery or unethical practices. We expect our suppliers to uphold principles equal to our own by adhering to all relevant laws and by signing our modern slavery and ethical sourcing policy as part of our procurement process. Any partner found to be in breach of our standards will face immediate review, with termination of our relationship as a possible outcome should corrective action not be satisfactory.
All team members at Florist Charing Cross receive training on modern slavery awareness, including how to recognise indicators and what steps to take if they suspect an issue. By fostering a culture of responsibility and vigilance, we seek to empower every employee to be an active participant in safeguarding ethical working conditions, both in our shop and in any dealings with suppliers or outsourced partners.
We encourage our staff, suppliers, and members of the public to report any concerns relating to suspected modern slavery practices connected to our business. Reports can be made in confidence, and all issues raised are investigated thoroughly and sensitively. We do not tolerate retaliation in any form against those who speak out in good faith. We also work collaboratively with relevant authorities and industry bodies when required to ensure all concerns are addressed appropriately and remedial actions are taken promptly.
Our commitment to combatting modern slavery is ongoing. This statement and the associated policies and procedures are reviewed annually to assess effectiveness and to incorporate best practices as guidance evolves. We take feedback seriously and continually seek opportunities to improve our processes, supplier engagement, and training.
Serving Charing Cross households and businesses comes with a duty to uphold trust and act with integrity at all times. Upholding our zero tolerance policy on modern slavery reflects not just our legal obligations, but also our ethical responsibilities as a reliable florist within our community. We remain steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding fairness, dignity, and respect for everyone connected to Florist Charing Cross.
