Sidcup Florist is proud to be a trusted member of the Sidcup community, serving local households and businesses with fresh flowers and expert arrangements. As part of our commitment to ethical business practices, we recognise our responsibility in helping prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. Each year, we review and update our policies and practices to ensure we maintain high standards for ourselves, our staff, and our suppliers.
Sidcup Florist has a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. We are dedicated to conducting business honestly, transparently, and with integrity. This stance is reflected in all our policies and the expectations we set for staff and supply chain partners. Any act of modern slavery found within our operations or supply chain would prompt immediate and decisive action.
Our supply chain is essential to the quality of service we deliver to our customers. To ensure we work only with ethical partners, Sidcup Florist conducts due diligence on all suppliers both at the start of the relationship and at regular intervals thereafter. We ensure our suppliers are aware of, and comply with, our standards concerning human rights and labour conditions. We require suppliers to confirm that they themselves do not tolerate modern slavery and to demonstrate their own steps toward safeguarding workers’ rights. Any supplier unable to meet these standards will not be engaged or will have their contract terminated.
Sidcup Florist regularly trains its staff to identify signs of modern slavery and understand the risks within the flower supply sector. We provide updates on our policies and legal responsibilities, equipping all employees to act should they have cause for concern. Training also covers the procedures for safely reporting issues and reinforces our collective responsibility in maintaining an ethical workplace.
We actively encourage the reporting of concerns related to modern slavery, whether suspected in our own operations or those of our suppliers. Staff can raise issues in confidence via designated reporting channels. Any report made will be fully investigated and, where appropriate, referred to the relevant authorities. We are dedicated to protecting whistleblowers from retaliation and supporting those who come forward in good faith.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to account for changes in legislation, best practice, and our business operations. As a Sidcup-based florist committed to ethical standards, we continually assess and improve our approach to preventing modern slavery, ensuring our business remains a safe and reputable choice for all our customers and partners.
We recognise the trust placed in Sidcup Florist by our customers, fellow businesses, and the wider community. By upholding this Modern Slavery Statement, we reaffirm our dedication to not only delivering beautiful flowers but also making a positive social impact in Sidcup and beyond.
