Watford Florist is dedicated to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking do not exist within any part of our business operations or supply chain. As a trusted florist serving the Watford community, including both households and local businesses, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethical practice and integrity. The following statement outlines the steps we take as an organisation to prevent modern slavery and to ensure that our values are reflected in every aspect of our business.
Watford Florist adopts a zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We are fully committed to acting ethically and transparently in all our business dealings and establishing effective controls to safeguard against any form of exploitation. All staff, suppliers, and stakeholders are expected to comply with this policy and to report any concerns swiftly via our established channels.
We recognise that our supply chain plays a key role in our ongoing efforts against modern slavery. To this end, we conduct comprehensive due diligence on all potential and existing suppliers. This process includes assessing the practices of our supply partners to ensure that they treat their employees fairly and operate in accordance with applicable labour laws. We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to fighting modern slavery and will review, and if necessary, terminate relationships with any supplier found to be in breach of our standards.
The prevention of modern slavery depends upon a vigilant and informed workforce. Watford Florist provides training to all staff members on identifying the warning signs of modern slavery, as well as the appropriate steps to take if they suspect any instance of exploitation. We keep our teams updated with resources to help broaden their understanding and support the ongoing detection and reporting of unethical activity both within our business and across our supply chain.
Watford Florist encourages all employees, suppliers, and contractors to speak up if they are concerned about potential instances of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. We have established confidential internal reporting channels so that any concerns raised can be investigated in a timely and effective manner. We treat all reports seriously, and individuals raising concerns in good faith are fully protected from retaliation.
Our modern slavery statement and relevant policies are reviewed and updated annually to reflect the latest best practices, legislation, and operational realities. We are committed to continual learning and improvement to strengthen our ability to eliminate risk, raise awareness, and enhance our procedures. We encourage feedback from employees, suppliers, customers, and the wider community to shape our ongoing approach to ethical business practices.
We understand the trust placed in us by the residents and businesses of Watford. Our ethical approach is not simply a legal requirement but a reflection of our values as a community florist. We will continue to make every effort to ensure that our flowers, products, and services are brought to you free from exploitation and in full compliance with our commitment to human dignity and respect.
