At Florists Crystal Palace, we hold a fundamental belief that every individual deserves to be treated with respect, fairness, and dignity. We have a zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, whether within our own business or across our supply chains. This statement sets out the robust measures we have in place to ensure that we prevent exploitation in any form and reaffirm our commitment to ethical business practices as a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Crystal Palace.
Suppliers play a vital role in our ability to deliver beautiful, fresh flowers and arrangements to our clients. In line with our values, we have established a comprehensive supplier due diligence process. All suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with relevant laws and ethical standards, including those pertaining to modern slavery and human trafficking. We conduct thorough checks before entering into any relationship, which may involve reviewing suppliers’ own anti-slavery policies, requesting transparency on workforce practices, and performing risk assessments based on their geographical and sectoral risk levels. Where appropriate, we reserve the right to end relationships with suppliers who fail to meet our strict standards.
We recognise the importance of equipping our employees with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify and address risks of modern slavery. Comprehensive training is provided to all team members, with a focus on how to recognise the signs of exploitation, understand the reporting channels available, and appreciate the impact that modern slavery can have on individuals and communities. Refresher courses are held regularly to ensure our staff remain vigilant and informed about current risks and best-practice responses.
Florists Crystal Palace is committed to fostering a culture where staff, suppliers, and customers feel empowered to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery. Clear internal reporting channels have been established, including confidential processes for escalating concerns. Reports are reviewed promptly and investigated thoroughly, with appropriate action taken to address and remedy any confirmed breaches. We also encourage third-party reports, fostering a collaborative effort against exploitation in our community and supply chains.
This statement and our related policies are subject to annual review by the management team at Florists Crystal Palace. Each year, we assess both our internal practices and supply chain oversight procedures to ensure they remain robust and effective. As part of our ongoing commitment, we seek opportunities to enhance our due diligence, training, and engagement with both staff and suppliers, reflecting new insights or changes in legal requirements. We are determined to protect the integrity of our business and the wellbeing of everyone connected to our supply chain.
As a well-established florist in the Crystal Palace area, serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards. This statement represents not only our legal obligations, but also our commitment to the trust placed in us by our customers and our community. We remain resolute in our efforts to combat modern slavery in all its forms and to continuously improve the effectiveness of our preventative measures.
