Hammersmith Florist is dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business operations. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Hammersmith, we recognise our responsibility to help combat modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out the steps we have taken, and will continue to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
We have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that slavery and human trafficking are not present in any part of our business or supply chain. This approach is integral not just to our compliance with the law, but to our core values of trust, respect, and humanity.
Hammersmith Florist sources fresh flowers, plants, and associated products from a range of suppliers, locally and internationally. We conduct rigorous due diligence on all our suppliers before commencing any business relationship. This process includes risk assessments, supplier questionnaires, and requiring confirmation that all partners comply with the Modern Slavery Act as well as our own standards.
Suppliers are expected to demonstrate respect for human rights, provide fair working conditions, and adhere to all applicable laws regarding labour, minimum wage, and workplace safety. Should any supplier fail to meet our standards with regard to modern slavery, appropriate action, up to and including termination of the business relationship, will be taken.
We provide regular training to all staff members to raise awareness of modern slavery risks and to educate them on how to identify and report any concerns. This training ensures that every member of our team understands the signs of modern slavery and knows the proper reporting procedures should any potential issues arise. We believe that informed employees are key to detecting and preventing abuses both within our business and across our supply chain.
We have put in place clear and accessible mechanisms for employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any suspicions or instances of modern slavery confidentially. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly and thoroughly. No employee or contractor will suffer any reprisals or adverse treatment for reporting concerns in good faith.
Our Modern Slavery Statement and related policies are reviewed annually. This review ensures continued compliance with legislation and best practice, and allows us to continually strengthen our approach to tackling modern slavery. We monitor the effectiveness of our efforts, including through feedback from staff, suppliers, and our wider community.
As a florist serving Hammersmith's households and businesses, we understand the importance of maintaining trust within our community. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery reflects our determination to be a responsible and ethical business partner. We are dedicated to providing our customers with assurance that the products and services they purchase from us are sourced and delivered with integrity and respect for human rights.
Hammersmith Florist remains steadfast in its fight against modern slavery. Through strict policies, ongoing supplier checks, staff training, open reporting channels, and regular reviews, we strive to identify and eliminate risks within our operations and supply chains. We will continue to work to ensure that our business is free from slavery and human trafficking in all its forms.
