As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Dartford, we at Dartford Florist are dedicated to conducting our business in an ethical manner. This includes our clear commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. Our zero tolerance approach is fundamental to our values, and we expect the same commitment from every partner we work with.
Dartford Florist has a robust zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We categorically prohibit any form of modern slavery both internally and within our supply chains. Everyone at every level of our organisation has a responsibility to uphold these standards, and violations are treated with utmost seriousness, potentially resulting in termination of contracts or employment.
We recognise that our responsibility to prevent modern slavery extends beyond our direct employees to the wider network of businesses that supply us. All our suppliers, whether providing flowers, materials, or other services, are selected based on their ethical standards as well as quality and price. We conduct due diligence on all new suppliers that includes reviewing their labour practices and requesting evidence of their own compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation. Regular reviews are carried out to ensure ongoing compliance, and we are committed to working only with suppliers who share our values and high standards.
To ensure our team is equipped to recognise and respond to signs of modern slavery, we provide regular training and updates. All staff members are educated about what modern slavery is, how it can manifest in sectors relevant to our business, and the importance of remaining vigilant. Refresher training is delivered as necessary to keep awareness at the forefront of our workplace culture.
Dartford Florist fosters an open environment where concerns about any unethical practices, including those related to modern slavery, can be raised without fear of reprisal. Employees and suppliers are encouraged to speak up if they suspect instances of forced labour or exploitation. Reports can be made confidentially and are investigated thoroughly by the appropriate managers. We take every report seriously and ensure appropriate action is taken wherever necessary.
Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is part of an ongoing process. This statement and our relevant internal policies and procedures are reviewed every year to ensure effectiveness and reflect best practices. We remain alert to new risks and opportunities for improvement, working actively to enhance our efforts to eradicate modern slavery from our business and supply chain.
As a proud Dartford florist, we recognise the trust placed in us by our community. Upholding high ethical standards reflects that responsibility, and we are committed to protecting the rights and dignity of everyone connected to our business. We consider it a fundamental part of delivering our services to local households and businesses to set a strong example in the fight against modern slavery.
