Florist Wanstead is committed to conducting business with the highest ethical standards. As a well-established florist serving both households and businesses across Wanstead, we recognize our responsibility to ensure our operations and supply chains are free from any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. We operate with a zero tolerance approach towards these injustices and expect the same commitment from everyone we work with, including our suppliers and service providers.
We acknowledge that risks of forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation exist at multiple levels in the floral industry. As such, Florist Wanstead maintains a stringent supplier selection and monitoring process. All of our suppliers are vetted to ensure they uphold our exacting standards regarding labour practices and are asked to confirm compliance with all relevant laws prohibiting modern slavery. We require regular declarations from our suppliers and reserve the right to undertake audits or seek additional assurances at any time. Should a supplier fail to meet these requirements, Florist Wanstead will take immediate action which may include termination of the business relationship.
Raising awareness among our team members is fundamental to our efforts against modern slavery. All staff at Florist Wanstead receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding their responsibilities in line with our policies. This training forms part of the induction process for new staff and is repeated annually to ensure our standards are consistently maintained. Ongoing discussions about ethical sourcing and labour rights are encouraged within our workplace to keep this important issue at the forefront.
Florist Wanstead maintains a confidential system for reporting any concerns about possible modern slavery or unethical practices. Staff, suppliers, and other third parties are encouraged to come forward with information without fear of reprisal. All reports are taken seriously and are investigated thoroughly. This open approach ensures that any potential issues are identified and addressed as swiftly as possible.
Our modern slavery policies and procedures are reviewed annually to ensure their effectiveness and relevance. We look to learn from best practices, adapt to changes in legislation, and improve transparency and accountability within our supply chain. The results of these reviews inform our actions for the year ahead, ensuring ongoing vigilance and improvement in our approach to combatting modern slavery.
As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Wanstead, we understand the importance of ethical operations in maintaining the trust and support of our community. Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects our core values and our responsibility to protect human rights in all aspects of our business. We are fully committed to ongoing monitoring, transparency, and maintaining the highest standards for ourselves and our partners, ensuring our flowers bring joy—never harm—to the people of Wanstead.
