At Lower Clapton Florist, we are dedicated to conducting our business in a transparent, ethical, and responsible manner. As a trusted member of the Lower Clapton community serving both local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to prevent any form of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations, as well as in our supply chains.
We have a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy is at the heart of our business and is reflected in all our working relationships. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any form of exploitation, forced labour, or abuse will not be tolerated, and immediate action will be taken should any such issue arise.
Our commitment extends to all elements of our supply chain. Lower Clapton Florist carries out thorough due diligence on all suppliers, ensuring they adhere to our principles concerning modern slavery and human rights. We regularly review supplier certifications, request transparency regarding sourcing and employment practices, and seek written confirmation of compliance with modern slavery regulations. New suppliers are evaluated for their risk of modern slavery and must agree to our Supplier Code of Conduct before any business relationship is formed.
We believe that awareness and education are vital in the fight against modern slavery. All members of our team receive regular training pertaining to modern slavery, including guidance on identifying risk factors, understanding reporting protocols, and recognising signs of exploitation. This training empowers our staff to act with vigilance and integrity and to take immediate steps should any concerns arise.
Employees, suppliers, contractors, and members of the public are encouraged to raise concerns or report any suspicions related to modern slavery or unethical practices. We have put in place clear and confidential internal channels for reporting, ensuring that any report will be treated seriously and sensitively. Concerns can be raised directly with management or through our designated safeguarding representative. We guarantee that anyone reporting concerns in good faith will be protected from victimisation or retaliation.
To ensure ongoing effectiveness, we conduct an annual review of our policies, procedures, and supply chains. This review aims to identify any areas needing further improvement and to ensure our approach remains robust and aligned with current legislation and best practice. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and customers is welcomed and used to guide our continuous improvement efforts.
As a responsible Lower Clapton florist, we understand the importance of ethical business practices in building trust with our customers and partners. Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects our determination to uphold the highest standards, protect vulnerable individuals, and contribute positively to the well-being of our community. We remain fully committed to transparency, integrity, and the ongoing fight against all forms of modern slavery.
