Florist Plaistow is fully committed to recognising and addressing the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our operations. We strongly believe that everyone has the right to work freely, be treated equally, and be safe from exploitation and abuse. Guided by our values and responsibilities as a trusted Plaistow florist serving local households and businesses, we have adopted a strict zero tolerance policy towards any forms of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in our business and our supply chains.
We carefully select all our suppliers, including those providing flowers, foliage, packaging, and related goods and services. As part of our due diligence process, we require that all suppliers uphold similar ethical values and are able to demonstrate compliance with relevant anti-slavery and human rights legislation. We communicate our expectations clearly with potential and existing suppliers, taking steps to ensure transparency within our supply chains by requesting confirmation of their own modern slavery statements and their approach to ethical labour and sourcing practices. We reserve the right to review, audit, or discontinue relationships with any supplier who does not uphold our values or comply with our policies.
Our people are the heart of our business. Florist Plaistow ensures that all staff, whether permanent, temporary, or agency-based, are provided with the knowledge and resources they need to identify signs of modern slavery and understand the importance of ethical practices. This is achieved through regular training sessions, updates to policies and procedures, and active engagement on the topic of worker rights. We encourage a culture of transparency and vigilance, enabling team members to raise concerns and seek guidance without fear of repercussion.
Florist Plaistow provides accessible and confidential channels for all employees, suppliers, and third parties to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Our whistleblowing policy ensures that all reported concerns are taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and addressed swiftly. We support and protect any individual who reports a concern in good faith, reinforcing our commitment to an open and ethical working environment.
We recognise that tackling modern slavery requires ongoing commitment and vigilance. Florist Plaistow undertakes an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement, our policies, and our operational practices, in order to improve our approach based on new guidance or emerging risks. We monitor the effectiveness of our policies and take corrective action where necessary. This continuous review process ensures we remain aligned with our ethical obligations and the expectations of the communities we serve.
As a florist trusted by the Plaistow community, we see it as our duty to act honestly, transparently, and responsibly. Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects this responsibility and our deep commitment to contributing positively to the lives of our customers, staff, suppliers, and the wider community. We remain steadfast in upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and will always challenge and report any suspected cases of modern slavery or exploitation in our business or supply chain.
