As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Bowes Park, Bowes Park Florist recognises its responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethics in every aspect of its operations. We are fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and across our supply chains. This statement details the steps we take to maintain a zero tolerance approach and to ensure the dignity and rights of every individual connected with our work.
Bowes Park Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. We believe that everyone deserves to work in an environment that is fair, respectful, and free from exploitation. Our commitment is embedded in our business practices, supplier relationships, and staff training, ensuring that ethical standards are applied at all levels.
We understand the importance of responsible sourcing and thoroughly vet our suppliers to minimise the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains. Suppliers are carefully selected and are required to adhere to the same high ethical standards that we uphold. This includes contractual commitments to comply with all applicable laws regarding labour rights and ethical conduct. We seek transparent relationships where suppliers must also confirm their own due diligence and prevention measures regarding modern slavery.
Awareness and understanding are key to identifying and addressing risks of modern slavery. All staff at Bowes Park Florist receive regular training on our anti-slavery policy, relevant laws, procedures for supplier assessment, and how to spot signs of exploitation. This ensures that our team is equipped to contribute positively to a culture of vigilance and responsibility within our organisation.
We encourage anyone who has concerns or suspicions regarding potential instances of modern slavery—whether within our company or across our supply chains—to raise them without fear of reprisal. Reports can be made confidentially through our internal procedures and are taken seriously. We commit to respecting the privacy of those who come forward and to investigating all concerns promptly and thoroughly.
Our Modern Slavery Statement is subject to annual review to ensure that our policy and approach remain robust and effective. Each year, we assess the outcomes of our due diligence activities, the effectiveness of staff training, and any issues identified through reporting channels. Findings are used to improve our processes and strengthen our safeguards against modern slavery. Updates to this statement will reflect our ongoing commitment to ethical business conduct.
We take our social responsibilities seriously, recognising that our role as a longstanding Bowes Park florist extends beyond providing flowers to our customers. By ensuring our business and those we work with are free from modern slavery, we uphold the trust our local households and business clients place in us. We remain dedicated to continuous improvement and transparency in all our practices.
