Thornton Heath Florist takes a proactive and unwavering stance against all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labor. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Thornton Heath, we recognise our shared responsibility in upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our operations, supply chains, and the wider community. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take annually to prevent any aspect of modern slavery within our business.
We operate a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Our commitment extends to all aspects of our business, from the direct employment of staff to the sourcing of products and services. Any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labor is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. We strive to create a culture of respect, dignity, and fairness for everyone associated with Thornton Heath Florist.
Recognising the potential risks within supply chains, we prioritise the selection of suppliers who share our ethical values and commitment to eradicating modern slavery. Before engaging with new suppliers, we conduct a thorough due diligence process, reviewing their labor practices, working conditions, and compliance with relevant legislation such as the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Existing suppliers are regularly reviewed and evaluated. Where possible, we request confirmation that they have their own measures in place to prevent modern slavery and that these measures are consistently upheld.
All staff at Thornton Heath Florist receive appropriate induction and ongoing training on the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. This training is designed to raise awareness, promote vigilance, and equip our team with the knowledge they need to identify potential issues both within our workplace and among our suppliers. By fostering an informed and alert team, we aim to create a safe environment for all.
We encourage anyone—staff, suppliers, customers, or members of the public—to raise concerns about possible instances of modern slavery in our operations or supply chain. Clear and confidential reporting channels are available, and we assure all whistleblowers that their concerns will be taken seriously and investigated promptly. We are committed to maintaining transparency and proactively addressing any suspected cases in a timely and effective manner.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually and updated where necessary to reflect our ongoing commitment and any changes in legal or ethical requirements. We continue to monitor our practices, listen to feedback, and learn from emerging best practices in the fight against modern slavery. Our objective is not only compliance, but leadership by example within our industry and the Thornton Heath community.
Serving Thornton Heath’s households and businesses is a privilege and a responsibility. We uphold the trust our community places in us by ensuring that everyone connected to our business—whether as employees, suppliers, or customers—can be confident that we stand firmly against modern slavery. Our dedication to ethical business practices is at the heart of everything we do, and we remain committed to building a safer, fairer future for all.
