Modern Slavery Statement – Florist Camberwell

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

Florist Camberwell is unwavering in our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings. As a trusted florist supplying beautiful arrangements to households and businesses throughout Camberwell, we understand the importance of upholding the highest standards of responsibility. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking have no place within our business or supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, whether in our direct operations or within our supply chain. Under no circumstances will we knowingly engage with any entity that engages in forced labour, child labour, exploitation, or any practices that can be deemed as modern slavery. This policy is championed at every level of Florist Camberwell and underpins our decision-making and business ethos.

Supplier Due Diligence

Florist Camberwell recognises the critical importance of working with suppliers who share our values and ethical standards. In sourcing flowers, packaging, and other products, we conduct thorough checks as part of our supplier vetting process. All new and existing suppliers are required to confirm that they operate in accordance with relevant anti-slavery and human trafficking laws, and provide transparency about their labour practices. We reserve the right to review and, if necessary, terminate relationships with suppliers if modern slavery risks are identified and not addressed promptly.

Staff Training and Awareness

Our staff are central to maintaining our anti-slavery efforts. All Florist Camberwell team members undergo regular training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and to understand our reporting obligations. By equipping our staff with this knowledge, we aim to foster a culture of vigilance and proactive action. New starters are briefed on our anti-slavery policies as part of their induction, ensuring our message is communicated from the onset of employment.

Reporting Channels

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and customers to raise concerns or suspicions about slavery or human trafficking involving Florist Camberwell, our supply chain, or other associated parties. We have established confidential reporting procedures to allow concerns to be raised safely and without fear of reprisal. Every report is treated seriously and investigated thoroughly by our management, with appropriate remedial actions taken if necessary.

Annual Policy Review and Continuous Improvement

Florist Camberwell reviews this Modern Slavery Statement annually to ensure its appropriateness and effectiveness, reflecting new legal requirements, industry best practices, and our evolving business context. We consistently seek to improve our procedures and partnerships, staying responsive to emerging risks and feedback from stakeholders.

Our Responsibility as a Community Florist

We understand the trust placed in us by our Camberwell community—households, businesses, and institutions alike. Florist Camberwell is resolute in living up to this responsibility by working transparently and ethically at all times. This Modern Slavery Statement forms an important part of how we deliver safe, sustainable, and ethically sourced products to our valued customers.

This statement has been approved by the management of Florist Camberwell and constitutes our modern slavery policy for the forthcoming year.
