At Surrey Quays Florist, we believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Surrey Quays, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. We are fully committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all aspects of our business, reflecting the trust placed in us by our community.
We understand that the risk of modern slavery is not confined to one location or industry. As such, we take proactive steps to ensure that our suppliers and business partners uphold the same high standards as we do. Before establishing any new supplier relationship, we conduct thorough background checks and risk assessments to identify potential issues related to modern slavery or human trafficking. We expect our suppliers to comply with all applicable laws and demonstrate responsible employment practices.
Whenever feasible, we require suppliers to confirm in writing their commitment to avoiding modern slavery and agree to supply products and services in accordance with our values. Regular communication with key suppliers encourages transparency and accountability throughout the supply chain.
Our responsibility extends to every member of our team. We provide regular training and updates to ensure that all staff are aware of the issues surrounding modern slavery, how to recognise potential warning signs, and the importance of upholding our ethical standards. This training includes guidance on responsible purchasing, monitoring supplier conduct, and understanding the broader social impact of our business operations.
To highlight our commitment to transparency, we have confidential channels in place where concerns regarding modern slavery or unethical conduct can be raised. Staff, suppliers, and the wider community are encouraged to report any suspicions or incidents without fear of retaliation. We take all reports seriously and will investigate promptly to ensure appropriate action is taken. Our priority is to create an environment where everyone feels empowered to speak up and contribute to the elimination of modern slavery.
Combating modern slavery is an ongoing effort that demands vigilance and continual improvement. We review our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships at least annually to reflect changes in legislation, industry best practices, and feedback from our stakeholders. As part of our responsibility as a Surrey Quays business, we pledge to regularly assess the effectiveness of our approach and update our Modern Slavery Statement accordingly.
Surrey Quays Florist recognises the importance of ethical business for the wellbeing of our staff, our customers, and the wider community. Upholding the highest standards, including strict opposition to modern slavery, is an integral part of our commitment to the people and businesses we serve. We thank our clients and partners for supporting our mission to ensure a transparent, fair, and safe environment for all.
