Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Emerson Park
Introduction
As a responsible and trusted Emerson Park florist committed to serving local households and businesses, Flower Delivery Emerson Park recognises the importance of addressing the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We treat this as a core part of our corporate social responsibility and are dedicated to upholding ethical business practices at every level.
Zero Tolerance Approach
Flower Delivery Emerson Park adopts a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, human trafficking or any exploitation. Our organisation does not condone, support, or facilitate any behaviours or practices that go against these principles. This applies directly to our staff as well as indirectly through our suppliers and partners. Should any instance of modern slavery be identified, immediate and decisive action will be taken.
Supplier Due Diligence
We understand that supply chains can pose risks for modern slavery. To mitigate this, we conduct careful due diligence when selecting suppliers of flowers, packaging, and related goods or services. Our requirements include a commitment from suppliers to ethical working conditions and compliance with all relevant laws regarding modern slavery. We periodically review our suppliers and reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier unable to meet our standards.
Staff Training and Awareness
We believe that awareness and vigilance are crucial in preventing modern slavery. All Flower Delivery Emerson Park staff receive training on the indicators of modern slavery and the steps to take if they suspect unethical practices, either within our business or in our supply chains. Training is refreshed regularly to ensure all employees understand their responsibilities and the importance of upholding our values.
Reporting Channels
Flower Delivery Emerson Park encourages an environment where employees and third parties feel comfortable raising concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical behaviour. All concerns are treated confidentially and with seriousness. We employ clear internal reporting channels managed by trusted leadership, ensuring full investigation of any matters raised without the risk of retaliation.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Our modern slavery statement and preventative measures are reviewed annually. During this process, we assess the effectiveness of our actions and identify opportunities for further improvement. We remain committed to updating our practices in line with evolving risks and best practices in the fight against modern slavery.
Our Responsibility to Emerson Park
As a trusted florist proud to serve the Emerson Park community and beyond, we consider it our duty to lead by example in the ethical sourcing and handling of all products and services we provide. This modern slavery statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to customers, employees, suppliers, and the wider community. We will continue to prioritise transparency and integrity in everything we do, contributing to a fairer supply chain and a safer environment for all.
