At Eastcote Florist, we take our ethical responsibilities seriously. Modern slavery and human trafficking are serious global crimes that violate fundamental human rights. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in Eastcote, we are committed to acting with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We take a proactive approach to compliance in line with the Modern Slavery Act and our own standards of conduct.
Eastcote Florist maintains a zero tolerance stance on all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and our supply chains. This policy is communicated clearly throughout our business and is integral to our culture. We believe this commitment supports our reputation as a reliable local florist who acts with respect for human dignity in every aspect of our work.
We recognise that the greatest risk of encountering modern slavery occurs in complex supply chains. To address this, we conduct thorough due diligence when engaging with all suppliers, growers, and logistics partners. This process includes:
If a supplier is found to be in breach of our standards, including any link to forced labour or exploitation, decisive corrective action will be taken, up to and including terminating the business relationship.
Our employees are the first line of defence against the risks of modern slavery. Eastcote Florist provides targeted training to staff and management, raising awareness about the signs of modern slavery and equipping them to act if concerns arise. We ensure all team members understand our zero tolerance policy and their personal responsibility to act ethically. Ongoing communication reinforces our organisational culture of vigilance and compliance.
We encourage anyone—employees, suppliers, or members of the public—with suspicions or evidence of modern slavery to report their concerns. We have clear internal channels for staff to confidentially raise issues and ensure that no one faces dismissal or penalties for speaking up in good faith. Every report is investigated promptly and openly, with outcomes contributing to ongoing improvement of our prevention strategies.
Eastcote Florist reviews this Modern Slavery Statement and its effectiveness each year as part of our governance and risk assessment. This annual review allows us to monitor ongoing risks, assess the impact of new legislation, and revise policies and training as necessary. The process ensures our anti-slavery efforts remain robust, transparent, and responsive to emerging threats.
By implementing this Modern Slavery Statement, Eastcote Florist reflects our responsibility as a trusted provider to local households and businesses. We believe that upholding these standards not only protects vulnerable people but also supports the values that build long-term trust within our community. We remain vigilant and committed to strengthening our actions year upon year, ensuring Eastcote Florist is a business where respect for human rights is at the heart of everything we do.
