Modern Slavery Statement – Florist Motspur Park

Our Zero Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery

At Florist Motspur Park, we are unwavering in our commitment to preventing all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our business and throughout our supply chains. As a trusted florist serving the Motspur Park community, including local households and businesses, it is our ethical and legal responsibility to act decisively against any practices of modern slavery.

Supplier Due Diligence and Ethical Sourcing

We recognise that the risk of modern slavery is not limited to direct employment but may exist within our broader supplier and procurement processes. Florist Motspur Park performs robust due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers. We seek to work only with reputable partners who share our values and commitment to ethical labour practices. Our standards are clearly communicated to suppliers, who are required to confirm their adherence to our anti-slavery policies as a condition of our ongoing relationship. Where possible, suppliers are also asked to provide information about their own labour practices, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where there is evidence of non-compliance.

Ongoing Staff Training and Awareness

It is essential that all our employees, whichever their role, are alert to the risks of modern slavery. To this end, Florist Motspur Park provides targeted training at induction and at regular intervals thereafter. Staff are educated on how to identify signs of forced or exploited labour, both within our operations and across our supply chain. We reinforce that vigilance and speaking out are vital to upholding our business's integrity and the well-being of our wider community.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We have established clear procedures for reporting any actual or suspected incidents of modern slavery. All staff are encouraged and supported to promptly raise concerns in confidence, knowing that their privacy and welfare will be fully protected. Reported issues are investigated thoroughly and with the utmost seriousness. Where a risk or breach is identified, decisive action will be taken in accordance with both legal requirements and our ethical policies.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our commitment does not end with policy implementation. Florist Motspur Park reviews its anti-slavery statement and procedures annually, ensuring ongoing effectiveness and alignment with evolving legal guidance and best practices. We continually assess our supply chain, training, and reporting mechanisms to address new risks as they emerge. This annual review process is essential for maintaining a robust and transparent approach to combating modern slavery.

Our Community Responsibility

As a prominent florist in Motspur Park, we understand the trust our customers place in us to uphold the highest standards of ethics and responsibility. This statement reflects our duty to our neighbourhood and the businesses we serve. We take pride in fostering a workplace and supply chain free from all forms of exploitation, thereby contributing positively to the wider Motspur Park community.
