At Seven Sisters Florist, we recognise the grave and ongoing issue of modern slavery and human trafficking in today’s global economy. As a trusted local florist, serving households and businesses throughout the Seven Sisters community, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains. It reflects not only our legal obligations but also our responsibility to our valued customers and community.
We strictly enforce a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Seven Sisters Florist has made it explicit in our business practices that any engagement in, or facilitation of, modern slavery will result in immediate disassociation. This policy is foundational to our values and extends to all staff, suppliers, and contractors who work with us.
Our commitment to ethical sourcing starts with rigorous due diligence during the supplier selection and review process. All suppliers must demonstrate compliance with relevant labour laws and provide assurance that their practices do not involve forced or trafficked labour. We review supplier certifications, request information about labour practices, and, where appropriate, conduct spot checks and site visits. Should any supplier be found in violation of our standards or policy, we are prepared to take decisive action, including terminating contracts when necessary.
We believe all staff have a vital role in preventing modern slavery and safeguarding those at risk. Our team members receive regular training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand the procedures to follow if they suspect unethical practices within our business or supply chain. This education is reinforced through clear policies and continual updates, ensuring our staff remain vigilant and well-informed.
Seven Sisters Florist encourages a culture of openness and accountability. To this end, we provide secure and confidential channels for staff and external stakeholders to report any concerns related to potential breaches of our modern slavery policy. All reports are investigated promptly and thoroughly, with assurance that there will be no retaliation against whistleblowers acting in good faith. We are committed to resolving any issues and taking corrective action where appropriate.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness. Each year, we assess our practices, supply chain relationships, and staff training to identify areas for improvement and to adapt to evolving risks. By staying proactive and transparent, we demonstrate our determination to combat modern slavery on an ongoing basis.
As a longstanding member of the Seven Sisters community, our florist is proud to be recognised as a trustworthy business partner and service provider. We understand that ethical standards are fundamental to our reputation and responsibilities. Through continuous vigilance, action, and transparency, we honour the trust placed in us by our customers and community, and strive to play our part in eradicating modern slavery wherever it occurs.
