Gants Hill Florist is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our business. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses in Gants Hill, we recognise our responsibility to oppose all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We uphold a commitment to act with integrity, fairness, and transparency in everything we do.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This commitment extends to all aspects of our business, including our direct operations and relationships with suppliers, contractors, and business partners. We will not tolerate or condone any form of forced labour, servitude, child labour, or human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain.
Our sourcing process incorporates robust due diligence procedures. We expect all suppliers to share our strong opposition to modern slavery and to comply with local laws and international standards regarding labour practices. During our supplier selection and review process, we assess the risk of slavery and human trafficking by requesting ethical compliance information and relevant certifications.
We build long-term relationships with our suppliers and communicate our expectations clearly. Any supplier found to breach our requirements regarding modern slavery risks immediate termination of our business relationship.
Gants Hill Florist recognises that awareness and understanding are key to identifying and preventing modern slavery. We provide regular training to all employees, ensuring they understand the risks, warning signs, and impact of modern slavery in our business and industry. Our training also covers how to raise concerns, reinforcing our company culture of vigilance and ethical responsibility at every level.
We encourage all staff, suppliers, and customers to speak up if they suspect unethical behaviour or practices that may be linked to modern slavery or exploitation. Concerns can be reported confidentially through internal channels, enabling us to respond swiftly and appropriately to any issues raised. All reports are investigated thoroughly and treated with the seriousness they deserve, without fear of retaliation for those making reports in good faith.
Our modern slavery statement and related practices are subject to annual review. This review ensures that our policies remain current, robust, and effective, benchmarking our procedures against industry guidance and updates in legislation. After each review, we consider further improvements and, where necessary, adapt our training, supplier processes, and reporting mechanisms to ensure we continue to meet our ethical obligations.
As a florist deeply rooted in the Gants Hill community, we are conscious that our actions set examples for others. Our commitment to tackling modern slavery forms part of the trust that local families and businesses place in us every day. We are dedicated to conducting our business in a manner that reflects respect for human rights and sets the highest standards for ethical conduct within our sector.
