Forest Hill Florist is dedicated to operating with the highest ethical standards and integrity across all areas of our business. We recognise our responsibility as a trusted florist serving the Forest Hill community, including families, households, and local businesses. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our ongoing commitment to preventing slavery, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains.
Forest Hill Florist maintains a zero tolerance approach towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any form of forced labour, child labour, or exploitation occurring in any part of our business or supply networks. We expect all employees, suppliers, contractors, and business partners to share our commitment to respecting human rights and upholding fair working conditions at every level.
We understand that our responsibility extends well beyond direct employment. Forest Hill Florist carefully vets all suppliers, ensuring they adhere to our strict standards. As part of our procurement process, we conduct due diligence to identify, assess, and mitigate the risks of modern slavery and unethical labour practices. This includes requesting detailed information from new and existing suppliers about their labour practices and compliance with relevant ethical and legal standards. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who do not meet our expectations or fail to address any concerns relating to modern slavery.
The commitment to identifying and preventing modern slavery is shared across our entire team. Forest Hill Florist delivers regular training and awareness sessions to all staff, helping them recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand the steps to take if they suspect abusive practices. All employees are made aware of their rights and the resources available to them, reinforcing a workplace culture that promotes dignity, respect, and vigilance against exploitation.
We have established clear and accessible channels through which staff, suppliers, and third parties can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Any suspected incidents of modern slavery within our operations or supply chain are treated with the utmost seriousness and will be investigated promptly and thoroughly. Forest Hill Florist is committed to supporting anyone who raises a legitimate concern and to taking swift corrective measures whenever necessary.
Forest Hill Florist’s Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and reflects current best practice. We use this review to assess policy effectiveness, learn from industry developments, and make improvements where needed. The fight against modern slavery is ongoing, and we are committed to continual improvement through monitoring, staff engagement, and collaboration with like-minded partners.
As a leading florist in Forest Hill serving local households and businesses, we understand our influence and responsibility to lead by example. Our approach to preventing modern slavery is central to our values of trust, respect, and community engagement. Forest Hill Florist pledges to maintain vigilance, work transparently, and act decisively to uphold human rights in every aspect of our business.
This statement is made in accordance with relevant regulations and demonstrates our commitment to ethical business practices. It will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis to ensure continual development and effectiveness in safeguarding against modern slavery.
