Florist Becontree Heath is dedicated to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and accountability. Serving the Becontree Heath community, we recognize our responsibility as a trusted florist delivering to households and businesses in the area. With this Modern Slavery Statement, we set out our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Florist Becontree Heath does not condone or permit exploitation of any kind, either within our own workforce or among our suppliers. Every supplier, contractor, and partner is expected to adhere to this standard, ensuring that humane and lawful working conditions are always maintained.
Recognizing the importance of responsible sourcing, we conduct diligent assessments of all suppliers before forming partnerships. This process includes requesting documented evidence of their own anti-slavery policies and employment practices. We prioritise working with suppliers who demonstrate a clear commitment to upholding workers’ rights and who comply with all applicable employment legislation. Regular reviews and, where appropriate, supplier audits are carried out to ensure ongoing compliance. If a supplier is found to be in breach of our standards, immediate action will be taken, which may include termination of contracts.
All members of our staff, from florists to delivery drivers and support personnel, receive training designed to raise awareness of modern slavery, its indicators, and the correct actions to take if concerns arise. Training is reviewed and updated annually to reflect best practices and any changes in relevant regulations. By equipping our team with the right knowledge, we aim to foster vigilance and empower staff to identify and report any suspected risks promptly.
Florist Becontree Heath promotes an open culture where concerns about modern slavery and exploitation can be reported safely and in confidence. Clear internal channels are in place for employees to report any suspicions or incidents without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, and appropriate measures will be implemented to protect those who raise concerns and to resolve any issues identified.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually, ensuring our policies and procedures remain effective and reflective of the evolving risks within our sector. As both our business and the legal landscape continue to grow and change, we remain committed to continuous improvement. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and the wider community is welcomed and considered as part of our review process.
As a florist rooted in Becontree Heath, our reputation depends on the trust of our customers and the welfare of our community. This statement outlines our unwavering dedication to ethical practice. We will continue working closely with our team and partners to uphold the highest standards and to play an active part in eliminating modern slavery and exploitation wherever it occurs.
