Canary Wharf Florist is fully committed to operating ethically, transparently, and in a socially responsible manner. As a trusted florist serving countless households and businesses in the Canary Wharf area, we recognise our responsibility to combat the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our operations and supply chain. This statement outlines the actions we have taken and continue to implement to support this commitment.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance approach towards modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. This policy is at the core of everything we do, and we expect the same high standards from our suppliers, contractors, and partners. Under no circumstances do we condone, permit, or ignore any form of forced labour, exploitation, or abuse, either directly or indirectly linked with our products and services.
As part of our procurement process, we carefully vet both new and existing suppliers. We require that suppliers adhere to ethical standards, including compliance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. All suppliers must confirm their own policies against forced labour and provide evidence of due diligence within their businesses and supply chains. Where appropriate, we reserve the right to audit these businesses, request documentation, and terminate relationships if there is a risk or incidence of modern slavery or unethical conduct.
We believe education and awareness among our workforce is critical in the fight against modern slavery. Canary Wharf Florist provides regular training to all staff, ensuring they understand what constitutes modern slavery, how to identify warning signs, and what actions to take if they have any concerns. Training materials and sessions are updated annually to reflect legal developments and best practice guidance, cultivating a workplace that is vigilant, proactive, and responsible.
We actively encourage any member of staff, supplier, or third party who suspects improper behaviour to speak up without fear of retaliation. Clear and accessible reporting channels are in place, empowering everyone to share concerns or suspicions of unethical or illegal practices. Reports are handled sensitively and thoroughly investigated, with the utmost priority given to protecting those who raise genuine concerns in good faith.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed each year to ensure it remains comprehensive, relevant, and effective. Through ongoing assessment of our procedures, supplier relationships, and staff engagement, we aim to continuously strengthen our preventative measures. Feedback from staff, clients, and suppliers is welcomed and contributes to refining our approach. Any changes in legislation or best practice guidance are promptly incorporated into our policies and training.
Serving the vibrant community of Canary Wharf, both private and commercial, comes with the obligation to act responsibly and set high ethical standards. Our dedication to eradicating any risk of modern slavery underscores our role as a trusted local florist. Through vigilance, leadership, and commitment to transparency, we strive to ensure every aspect of our business upholds human rights and dignity. This statement is one part of our ongoing efforts to protect people, foster trust, and make a positive contribution to our community.
