At Florist Dalston, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted local florist serving households and businesses throughout Dalston. As part of our commitment to ethical practices and social responsibility, we take a firm stance against modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing risks of modern slavery in accordance with prevailing legal frameworks and our ethos as a responsible community business.
Florist Dalston operates a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to acting with integrity in all business dealings and relationships, and implementing and enforcing effective procedures to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place anywhere within our own business or our supply chains.
We understand that our commitment extends beyond our direct employees to those of our suppliers and business partners. All suppliers are carefully vetted as part of our due diligence procedures before entering a business relationship. We require suppliers to comply with all applicable laws, including those relating to employment rights, fair wages, and ethical sourcing. In addition, we request assurances regarding their own anti-slavery policies and conduct ongoing monitoring to ensure these standards are consistently met. Where potential risks are identified, we work collaboratively with suppliers to mitigate those risks or, if necessary, discontinue relationships with non-compliant vendors.
Awareness is key in the fight against modern slavery. All members of our team receive training to recognise indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking, and understand the steps required to report concerns. We empower our staff with clear guidance on our anti-slavery protocols, reinforcing both our core values and legal responsibilities. This ongoing education ensures that our workforce is vigilant, informed, and actively contributing to our zero tolerance approach.
Florist Dalston maintains open and accessible channels for reporting any suspicions or concerns regarding modern slavery. All staff are encouraged to raise concerns through established internal procedures, aligned with our whistleblowing policy and strict commitment to confidentiality. Reports are promptly and thoroughly investigated, and appropriate action is taken to address any verified instances of non-compliance or unethical practices. We also encourage suppliers and third parties to notify us of any concerns, reinforcing a collaborative approach to eliminating modern slavery across the entire supply chain.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect evolving best practices, legal requirements, and insights gained through our ongoing due diligence processes. We remain committed to continuous improvement, regularly assessing the effectiveness of our policies and adapting them to address emerging risks. The annual review also ensures that our actions remain fully aligned with our core responsibility as a trusted florist in Dalston, dedicated to serving our community with integrity and respect for human rights.
Our efforts to prevent modern slavery are fundamental to our reputation and standing as a responsible business. Florist Dalston is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards, ensuring that as we deliver beauty to homes and workplaces across Dalston, we do so with a clear conscience and unwavering commitment to human dignity.
