Our Commitment Against Modern Slavery at Florist Tulse Hill

Modern Slavery Statement

Florist Tulse Hill is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all areas of our operations. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Tulse Hill, we recognize our responsibility to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chains. This statement sets out the steps we are taking to promote transparency and uphold our zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We enforce a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and child labour. Every member of our team, as well as our suppliers, is expected to adhere to our ethical standards. Our commitment extends throughout every level of our organisation and supply chain.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognize that the risk of modern slavery often lies within supply chains, especially in global industries connected to horticulture and floristry. Florist Tulse Hill strives to work only with suppliers who share our values. As part of our due diligence process, we seek confirmation from all suppliers that they comply with applicable laws on human rights and modern slavery. We carefully assess new and existing suppliers for ethical risks and reserve the right to terminate relationships where concerns are not addressed.

Staff Training and Awareness

Ongoing education is provided to our staff to help them identify and address issues related to modern slavery. Regular training sessions raise awareness of the signs of exploitation and teach employees the steps they must take if they suspect unethical practices. By fostering a culture of vigilance, we ensure our team is equipped to contribute proactively to the continuous improvement of our standards.

Reporting Channels

Florist Tulse Hill prioritizes a safe and open environment where concerns related to modern slavery can be raised in confidence. We encourage any concerns, suspicions, or incidents to be reported directly to our management. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly. Whistleblowers are protected from any form of retaliation, ensuring everyone can speak out without fear.

Annual Review

This statement and our overall approach to addressing modern slavery risks are reviewed annually to ensure continuous alignment with best practices and evolving legislation. We assess the effectiveness of our actions by evaluating supplier compliance, staff awareness, and any incidents or reports received. As part of our ongoing improvement, adjustments are implemented swiftly where needed.

Reflecting Our Community Responsibility

Serving Tulse Hill's community comes with responsibilities beyond the supply of quality flowers. We believe our actions must reflect our status as a trusted local business partner. Through rigorous enforcement of ethical standards, transparency, and ongoing education, Florist Tulse Hill strives to ensure that our work uplifts, rather than exploits, those involved at every stage. We remain steadfast in our commitment to a fair and just supply chain, for the benefit of our customers, our colleagues, and the wider community.
