Upton Park Florist is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. We have a zero-tolerance policy regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. This approach extends to every area of our business operations, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships—ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our supply chains or our company culture.
We are acutely aware of the risks associated with the sourcing and supply of flowers, plants, materials, and related goods. As a trusted provider to Upton Park households and businesses, we carefully select suppliers who share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery. Our supplier onboarding process includes a thorough assessment of each business’s approach to ethical sourcing and labour practices. We regularly review supplier documentation and request evidence of their anti-slavery policies, as well as compliance with internationally recognised labour standards. Where concerns are identified, we engage directly with suppliers to address and rectify issues or discontinue relationships where necessary.
All team members at Upton Park Florist are provided with training to recognise and respond to potential signs of modern slavery within our business and throughout our supply chain. By fostering an environment of awareness and vigilance, we empower staff to act responsibly and uphold our zero-tolerance stance. Training materials are reviewed and updated annually to reflect changes in legislation, best practices, and industry guidance.
We believe every employee and supplier has a duty to raise any concern about modern slavery or unlawful practices without fear of reprisal. To support this, we have established transparent and accessible internal channels for the confidential reporting of any suspected unethical or illegal conduct. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly by senior management. Where appropriate, concerns are escalated according to our company policy. We also encourage an open culture in which employees feel able to seek guidance and support if they encounter any uncertainties or dilemmas related to modern slavery.
Our approach to combating modern slavery is continually evolving. We conduct an annual review of our modern slavery statement, training programme, and supply chain due diligence procedures. This ensures that our policies remain robust, effective, and aligned with current legal requirements and societal expectations. Feedback from staff, customers, and suppliers plays a crucial role in shaping future improvements and refining our strategies to identify and mitigate risks.
As a florist serving households and businesses throughout Upton Park, we recognise our responsibility to uphold public trust and support the values of our local community. This statement reflects not only our legal obligations but our genuine commitment to human rights and ethical conduct in every aspect of our operations. By remaining vigilant against modern slavery, we aim to provide our customers with the confidence that their floral purchases contribute to a fair, just, and transparent supply chain.
