At Florist Putney, we believe every individual deserves fair and ethical treatment. As a trusted local florist serving the homes and businesses of Putney, our reputation is built on more than just our floral arrangements. We recognise our responsibility to uphold and promote human rights within our business and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our dedication to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, and communicates the measures we have implemented to ensure our flowers and services are provided ethically.
Florist Putney adopts a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery in any form. We categorically oppose all forms of forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and involuntary work, whether in our direct operations or those of our suppliers. We require high ethical conduct from every member of our team, as well as our suppliers and business partners. If a violation of our policy is identified, we are committed to taking immediate and decisive action.
Understanding that supply chains can be vulnerable to modern slavery risks, we conduct thorough checks and ongoing monitoring of all our suppliers. Before entering into any agreement, suppliers must evidence their own commitment to combating modern slavery. This includes requiring them to confirm compliance with all applicable laws regarding labour, wages, working hours, and health and safety standards. Where appropriate, we request documentation and periodic confirmations to support their ethical practices. Should any concerns arise, Florist Putney will review the relationship and, if necessary, terminate it to uphold our commitment against modern slavery.
We recognise that raising awareness and educating staff is vital to preventing modern slavery. All team members at Florist Putney receive training on identifying signs of exploitation, understanding their responsibilities, and knowing how to respond to potential modern slavery concerns. Regular refresher sessions ensure knowledge remains current, and new staff are briefed as part of their induction process. This training affirms our shared values and empowers our employees to help maintain an ethical workplace and supply chain.
Florist Putney encourages all employees, suppliers, and customers to report any suspicions of modern slavery or unethical conduct. We have clear and accessible reporting channels that facilitate confidential escalation of concerns without fear of reprisal. Reports are taken seriously, treated confidentially, and fully investigated. We are committed to taking appropriate action wherever issues are identified, holding ourselves and our partners accountable.
Our Modern Slavery Statement and procedures are reviewed annually to ensure their continued effectiveness. We regularly assess the risks within our operations and supply chain, and refine our processes in response to new guidance, evolving best practices, and feedback from our staff and partners. This approach allows us to strengthen our vigilance and maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct.
This statement embodies our commitment to the local households and businesses who trust Florist Putney for their floral needs. We pledge to act with integrity, placing the welfare and rights of all individuals at the core of our operations. By upholding ethical values and robust anti-slavery measures, we strive to be a business Putney can continue relying on with confidence.
