West Ham Florist is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all our operations, reflecting our responsibility as a trusted West Ham florist serving local households and businesses. We are steadfast in our efforts to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking at every level of our business and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we take each year to identify, assess, and mitigate risks relating to modern slavery, in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We operate under a strict zero tolerance policy concerning modern slavery and human trafficking. We believe that every individual has the right to work freely and in safe, fair conditions. There is no acceptable level of modern slavery within our operations or supply chains, and we will act decisively to address any findings of non-compliance. This approach applies to our own business practices and those of our suppliers and partners.
West Ham Florist understands the importance of closely vetting each supplier. We require our suppliers to demonstrate their commitment to combatting modern slavery and unethical labor practices. During our selection process, we ask suppliers to confirm their own policies and procedures addressing modern slavery. We reserve the right to conduct further audits or request details of their labor practices if risks are identified. Where we have concerns, we pursue remedial actions or terminate partnerships as appropriate to uphold our values and legal obligations.
Our staff, from shop floor to management level, receive regular training designed to raise awareness and understanding of modern slavery, its warning signs, and the steps they can take if they have concerns. This training empowers staff to spot suspicious behavior or potential exploitation both in our own workplace and throughout our outsourced supply chains. Training is reviewed and updated annually to reflect current laws and best practices.
We are committed to creating an environment where all concerns regarding modern slavery can be safely and confidentially reported. All employees, suppliers, and external stakeholders are encouraged to come forward if they suspect or become aware of unethical practices within our business or supply chain. Multiple reporting channels are in place and all reports are thoroughly investigated in a timely and transparent manner. No individual will suffer any reprisal for raising a concern in good faith.
This statement is subject to an annual review to ensure it remains current, compliant, and effective. As part of this process, we review the effectiveness of our actions, update our risk assessments, and make improvements as necessary to further strengthen our controls against modern slavery. The statement is approved at the highest level of our business in recognition of its importance and is made publicly available in the interest of transparency and accountability.
At West Ham Florist, we recognise our role as not only a supplier of beautiful floral arrangements but also as a responsible partner in our local community. Upholding ethical sourcing, fair labour, and respect for human rights is integral to the trust placed in us by households and businesses throughout West Ham. We will continue to prioritise these values and ensure that every member of our team, and every supplier we work with, shares our commitment to a fairer, safer, and more equitable society.
