Kingston Vale Florist is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We take our responsibility to the community, our customers, suppliers, and staff seriously, acknowledging the need for vigilance and action against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out our policies and procedures designed to prevent slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and throughout our supply chain.
We have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in any form. As a trusted florist serving Kingston Vale households and businesses, we always seek to ensure that our actions, products, and people uphold the highest ethical standards. Our strict zero tolerance policy is communicated clearly to all staff, suppliers, and business partners, reinforcing our expectation that slavery and human trafficking will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Kingston Vale Florist understands that our supply chain carries a risk of exposure to modern slavery practices. To address this, we only partner with reputable suppliers who share our commitment to fair and ethical practices. We conduct due diligence checks before engaging with new suppliers, including requests for information about their sourcing, labour standards, and compliance with modern slavery legislation. Where appropriate, we seek written confirmation from our suppliers regarding their own anti-slavery measures. We strive to maintain ongoing relationships with our suppliers and regularly review their compliance with our expectations, taking action if any concerns arise.
Ensuring our staff are informed and vigilant is fundamental to preventing modern slavery. All Kingston Vale Florist employees receive training on modern slavery risks, including how to recognise signs, the importance of reporting concerns, and our company’s procedures. By equipping our team with knowledge, we foster a culture where every staff member understands their role in upholding our ethical standards and protecting vulnerable individuals.
We are committed to providing safe, secure, and accessible ways for our employees, suppliers, and even customers to raise concerns about potential incidents of modern slavery or human trafficking. Staff are encouraged to discuss any suspicions with their line manager or a designated senior member of staff. Reported concerns will be investigated promptly and thoroughly, and we protect all whistleblowers from retaliation or disadvantage for raising genuine concerns.
This statement and our anti-slavery measures are subject to an annual review. We evaluate the effectiveness of our policies and practices, taking into account any new risks, legal obligations, or improvements in best practice. Feedback from staff, customers, and business partners is also considered to ensure our approach remains robust. Any necessary actions or enhancements will be implemented as an outcome of this review.
As a well-established florist in Kingston Vale, we recognise that our community places trust in us to operate transparently, ethically, and safely. We remain steadfast in our commitment to combatting modern slavery in all its forms and to meeting our obligations to uphold human rights across every aspect of our business and supply chain. Through these efforts, we continue to protect and serve our valued customers, employees, and the wider community.
