As a trusted florist serving the Homerton community, Homerton Florist stands firmly against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We take seriously our ethical, legal, and moral responsibility to promote transparency and fairness within our organisation and throughout our supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the concrete steps we take to prevent modern slavery, reflecting our commitment to our customers, our team, and our local partners.
Homerton Florist operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in any form. We expect the same high standards from all current and future suppliers, partners, and associated businesses. This stance is embedded in our core values and underpins all our business decisions and day-to-day operations.
We recognise that the floral industry relies on a global network of growers and distributors, which is why due diligence across our supply chains is essential. When selecting suppliers, we prioritise those who demonstrate strong ethical standards and clear labour rights policies. As part of our onboarding process, we require suppliers to confirm their compliance with relevant anti-slavery laws. We review our supplier relationships regularly, seeking transparency about labour practices and working conditions in their organisations.
Homerton Florist provides staff with regular training on modern slavery and human trafficking, ensuring that all team members understand the signs of exploitation and know how to respond to any concerns. Training sessions cover relevant policies, how to identify risks in the supply chain, and our internal escalation procedures. By equipping our staff with this knowledge, we reinforce a workplace culture of vigilance, responsibility, and respect for human rights.
We are committed to providing a safe and accessible mechanism for raising any concerns related to modern slavery. All staff members are encouraged to speak up if they encounter anything suspicious or out of the ordinary in their work or the work of our suppliers. Reports can be made confidentially through our internal channels, and we promise to investigate each concern thoroughly and sensitively. We take all reports seriously and act promptly to assess, mitigate, and, where needed, remediate any risks.
Our commitment to fighting modern slavery is an ongoing process. We review this statement and our associated policies annually to ensure they remain current with legal requirements, best practice guidance, and the changing context of our business. This also allows us to monitor the effectiveness of our actions and identify areas where we can further strengthen our approach.
This Modern Slavery Statement is a reflection of our responsibility as a trusted Homerton florist serving local households and businesses. We are proud to be part of a vibrant community and pledge to uphold the highest standards of ethics in everything we do. Through continued vigilance and collaboration, we strive to ensure that all aspects of our business are free from modern slavery.
