At Crayford Florist, we recognise the critical importance of tackling modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices, throughout our operations. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Crayford and the surrounding areas, we are dedicated to maintaining integrity and transparency in all aspects of our business. We acknowledge our responsibility to the community and those involved in our supply chain, aiming to ensure that freedom and dignity are upheld at every step.
Crayford Florist has a firm zero tolerance approach towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour within our organisation or from any of our suppliers. We are unequivocally committed to upholding the rights and freedoms of every individual who contributes to our business, whether directly or indirectly.
We work closely with our suppliers to foster ethical and transparent business relationships. All suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with applicable laws relating to modern slavery in the countries where they operate. We conduct due diligence when onboarding new suppliers, including assessing their policies and practices for the prevention of forced and child labour. Where appropriate, we require ongoing assurance from our suppliers to ensure continued alignment with our values and commitments.
Our team members are central to identifying and addressing the risks of modern slavery. To that end, Crayford Florist provides regular training for staff, raising awareness about the signs of exploitation and ensuring all team members understand our zero tolerance stance. This training empowers our team to act responsibly and with vigilance across all areas of our business, from procurement to customer service and delivery operations.
We encourage all employees, suppliers, and third parties to raise concerns relating to potential breaches of our modern slavery policy. Clear and confidential reporting mechanisms are in place so that any suspected instances of modern slavery or unethical behaviour can be escalated safely and without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated with the utmost seriousness, ensuring they are thoroughly investigated and appropriate action is taken immediately if required.
Crayford Florist is committed to regularly reviewing and enhancing our approach to managing the risk of modern slavery. This statement and the supporting internal policies are reviewed on an annual basis, reflecting changes in legislation, best practices, and the evolving nature of risks within our industry. Lessons learned through engagement with staff and suppliers are used to strengthen our processes and foster a culture of continual improvement.
We believe that eradicating modern slavery is a shared responsibility. At Crayford Florist, our modern slavery statement affirms the values of respect, compassion, and fairness that underpin our service to the community. We are wholly committed to safeguarding the rights of all individuals connected to our business, reinforcing the trust placed in us by local households and businesses.
