As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Elm Park, Elm Park Florist is fully committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity. We recognize our responsibility to prevent all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we take to actively oppose and address modern slavery, reflecting both our values and statutory obligations under the Modern Slavery Act.
Elm Park Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are dedicated to ensuring that no such practices are linked to any part of our business. Our leadership team fosters a culture of respect, fairness, and responsibility, and we require the same standards from everyone who works with us.
We understand that our responsibility extends beyond our direct operations to our supply chain. Elm Park Florist expects all suppliers, growers, wholesalers, and service partners to uphold the highest ethical standards. We perform due diligence when selecting suppliers, assessing their policies, working conditions, and compliance with relevant legislation. We periodically request evidence of their anti-slavery practices, and where concerns arise, we address them promptly and seriously. We will not hesitate to end relationships with suppliers that fall short of our required standards.
All members of our team receive appropriate training to recognize the signs of modern slavery and understand the importance of ethical business conduct. We actively encourage an open culture where staff feel empowered to raise questions or concerns. Training materials are updated regularly to reflect best practice and legal requirements, ensuring our employees are fully equipped to operate responsibly and help spot risks in our business and supply chain.
We are dedicated to promoting transparency and encourage anyone — employee, supplier, or community member — to report concerns in good faith, with the assurance that all issues will be handled sensitively and confidentially. Elm Park Florist has clear internal channels for reporting suspicions or complaints related to modern slavery. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers from retaliation and ensuring any reports are thoroughly investigated with appropriate action taken where necessary.
Our procedures and policies regarding modern slavery prevention are reviewed annually. This regular assessment enables us to respond dynamically to changes in legislation, business growth, and evolving supplier relationships. We are committed to continuously improving our processes and actively seek ways to reinforce the integrity of our operations.
As a local business, we take seriously our role in the Elm Park community and the positive influence we can have. Our modern slavery statement reflects our dedication to safeguarding the people whose lives our business touches, both locally and across our broader supply chain. We will continue to work diligently to uphold the trust placed in us by our customers, partners, and the public.
