At Plaistow Florist, we are deeply committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all that we do. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Plaistow, we recognize our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery, in all its forms—including slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking—has no place in our operations or supply chains. We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards such practices and expect the same from all parties connected to our business.
Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery starts with robust due diligence on all our suppliers. We require every supplier and contractor to confirm that they comply with all applicable modern slavery and human trafficking laws. Before entering into any business relationship, Plaistow Florist assesses the risks associated with the supplier’s location, industry, and employment practices. Where appropriate, we seek assurances through supplier questionnaires and, if necessary, request evidence of anti-slavery policies and procedures. Suppliers are also made aware that failure to comply with our expectations may result in immediate termination of our relationship.
Staff at Plaistow Florist receive training designed to raise awareness about the risks of modern slavery and how it can manifest both in the floral industry and more widely. Employees are informed about the ethical standards we uphold, the importance of vigilance, and the actions to take if they observe or suspect any exploitative practices. Training is conducted during induction and revisited regularly to ensure that every colleague remains aware of the signs of forced labour and knows what steps to take should concerns arise.
We maintain open and accessible reporting channels to empower our staff, suppliers, and customers to voice any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation and reassured that their concerns will be taken seriously regardless of their outcome. This open culture supports our mission to provide a safe and ethical environment for everyone associated with Plaistow Florist.
Plaistow Florist is committed to the continuous review and improvement of our modern slavery policies and practices. Each year, we conduct an assessment of our policies, procedures, and supplier due diligence measures to identify opportunities for strengthening our approach. Updates to our Modern Slavery Statement are made annually to reflect changes in law, business operations, or areas identified for improvement through ongoing review. We strive to remain proactive and transparent in our efforts to combat modern slavery, reviewing our progress and seeking feedback wherever relevant.
As a proud member of the Plaistow community, we take seriously the trust placed in us by local households and businesses. This Modern Slavery Statement stands as evidence of our belief that beautiful floral arrangements should never come at the expense of human rights or dignity. Plaistow Florist pledges to continue its efforts in abolishing modern slavery from our operations and to act as a responsible and ethical business partner in every interaction we undertake.
