Florist Paddington is dedicated to conducting business ethically and with integrity in all our relationships. As a responsible florist, serving local households and businesses in Paddington, we recognise our obligation to address and prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chain.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in any form. Our organisation does not knowingly engage with any party, whether an individual or a business, that is involved in or connected to such practices. This principle is embedded in our company culture and guides decision-making at every level, from procurement to customer service.
Florist Paddington takes proactive measures to ensure our suppliers and partners adhere to our ethical standards. We conduct thorough due diligence before entering any supply agreement. This process includes:
If a supplier is found to contravene our stance on modern slavery, decisive action will be taken, up to and including terminating the relationship.
We believe that awareness is key to prevention. All Florist Paddington staff receive regular training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and the importance of ethical sourcing. Training is embedded in our onboarding processes, and refresher sessions are provided each year or when there are updates in legislation or best practices. Team members are encouraged to remain vigilant and to notify management of any observations or concerns.
We strive to create a transparent environment where any concerns around modern slavery can be raised confidentially and without fear of retribution. Our staff are informed about the processes for reporting suspicions or breaches relating to unethical labour practices, both internally and within our supply chain. All concerns are treated seriously and investigated promptly by our management team. We are also open to receiving feedback or concerns from our customers and the wider community, which further strengthens our vigilance in this area.
Florist Paddington reviews this Modern Slavery Statement and our underlying procedures annually. As legislation, guidance, and risks evolve, we update our practices to ensure the highest standards of ethical conduct. These annual reviews include evaluation of supplier performance, seeking new training opportunities for staff, and reviewing the effectiveness of reporting mechanisms.
As a trusted florist in Paddington, serving both local households and businesses, we understand the importance of our leadership role in promoting human rights and ethical trade. This Modern Slavery Statement is a reflection of our ongoing responsibility and accountability to our customers, suppliers, staff, and the wider community. We remain committed to operating transparently and upholding the values that make Florist Paddington a trusted local business.
