At Florist Archway, we believe that modern slavery and human trafficking are serious violations of human rights and have no place in any aspect of our business. We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. As a proud Archway florist serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility in upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring that we do not contribute, directly or indirectly, to such practices.
Florist Archway is committed to ensuring transparency in our approach to tackling modern slavery, consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act. We require all current and new suppliers to adhere to our zero tolerance policy. To maintain accountability and transparency in our supply chain, we undertake rigorous supplier due diligence before entering any business relationship. This involves evaluating suppliers for compliance with modern slavery laws and ethical practices, requesting information about their labour standards, and maintaining updated records of their policies and certifications. Should any supplier fail to meet our expectations or obligations in this regard, we will take appropriate steps, including the reconsideration or termination of our partnership.
We recognise that education and vigilance are key to combating modern slavery. All staff and management at Florist Archway are provided with regular training to understand the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. We ensure that our team is aware of the indicators of forced labour, deceptive recruitment, and exploitative conditions. This knowledge empowers our staff to identify potential risks not just within our business, but along our supply chain, allowing us to act swiftly and responsibly should concerns arise.
Florist Archway encourages a culture of openness, where employees, suppliers, and stakeholders can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. We have established clear, confidential reporting channels for anyone to report suspected instances of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Every concern raised is taken seriously and investigated appropriately in line with our internal procedures. Our commitment to tackling modern slavery extends to supporting and protecting those who use our reporting mechanisms.
We are dedicated to regularly reviewing and improving our policies and practices. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure ongoing compliance with legislative requirements and to address potential changes in our operations or in the regulatory environment. Lessons learned from our annual review, staff feedback, and industry developments help us to strengthen our approach and ensure our policies remain effective and relevant.
Our commitment to preventing modern slavery reflects our broader responsibility as a trusted florist in Archway. We are deeply embedded in our local community, serving both households and businesses, and are dedicated to maintaining trust, integrity, and transparency in all our interactions. By taking a proactive stance against modern slavery, Florist Archway demonstrates ethical leadership and contributes to the well-being and safety of our customers, our suppliers, and our wider community.
