Modern Slavery Statement for Queen's Park Florist

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Queen's Park Florist is unwavering in our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every area of our operations. We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and forced labour, whether within our own workforce or across our supply chains. As a trusted local florist serving families and businesses throughout Queen's Park, we understand the responsibility we hold to uphold ethical standards and safeguard human rights at every level of our business.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise the critical role of ethical sourcing in combating modern slavery. To this end, we have implemented a comprehensive supplier due diligence process. We expect our suppliers to share our values and to operate in full compliance with all relevant laws concerning modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Suppliers are assessed at the outset of our commercial relationship and are monitored regularly throughout our ongoing partnership. Where possible, we seek evidence of their own anti-slavery policies. Should we identify any risk—or substantiated case—of modern slavery, we will take swift and decisive action, including terminating our relationship with the supplier if necessary.

Staff Training and Awareness

Effective prevention of modern slavery depends on the vigilance and understanding of our team. All staff at Queen's Park Florist receive training to understand the signs and risks associated with modern slavery and human trafficking. This training empowers our employees to identify suspicious behaviour, whether within our workplace or in our interactions with suppliers and delivery partners. By keeping our team informed, we cultivate a culture of awareness and responsibility.

Reporting Channels

We encourage all staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns relating to possible modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Multiple reporting channels are available, ensuring that concerns can be raised safely, confidentially, and without fear of repercussion. Queen's Park Florist treats all reports seriously and will investigate promptly, ensuring appropriate measures are taken in line with our zero-tolerance policy.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure our policies, procedures, and approach remain robust and effective. As legislation evolves and new risks emerge, we remain committed to continually improving our practices, enhancing supplier screening, team training, and reporting mechanisms. Our goal is to lead by example and maintain the highest ethical standards for all who engage with Queen's Park Florist.

Our Community Responsibility

At Queen's Park Florist, being a responsible business goes beyond compliance; it is about trust, respect, and positive impact. As a florist trusted by local households and businesses, we take our duty seriously to ensure our operations contribute to a fair, safe, and just society, free from the blight of modern slavery. We thank our customers, employees, and partners for supporting our ongoing commitment to these values.
