Bickley Florist is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards across all aspects of our business operations. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses in Bickley and the surrounding areas, we recognise our responsibility to prevent all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our company and throughout our supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to identify, tackle, and mitigate the risks of modern slavery in accordance with best practices and applicable legal frameworks.
Bickley Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. We expect this same commitment from all our employees, suppliers, and business partners, and will take appropriate action should we find any violations. Our approach is underpinned by clear procedures and our unwavering dedication to ethical and lawful conduct.
Our relationships with suppliers are built on mutual trust and shared values. We conduct robust due diligence before entering into any business relationship, and we continue to monitor our suppliers for compliance through contractual obligations, self-assessment questionnaires, and, where appropriate, risk-based audits. By requiring suppliers to demonstrate their own policies regarding modern slavery and human trafficking, we aim to ensure that goods and services supplied to us are ethically sourced at every step of the procurement process. When instances of concern arise, we work closely with partners to investigate, address, and resolve any issues swiftly and in line with our zero tolerance stance.
We recognise that preventing modern slavery requires vigilance from everyone within our organisation. Therefore, Bickley Florist provides ongoing training to staff at all levels, raising awareness of the signs of modern slavery and best practices for identifying and reporting concerns. This equips our team to act responsibly and take appropriate actions where necessary. Employees are encouraged to stay informed and ask questions regarding any part of our operations that might present a risk of exploitation or unethical practices.
Bickley Florist fosters a culture of openness, transparency, and responsibility. All staff members are encouraged to report suspicions of modern slavery or unethical behaviour without fear of retaliation. We maintain confidential reporting channels and ensure that every report is taken seriously and investigated appropriately. Prompt action is taken to address concerns, with the overarching goal of safeguarding everyone in our supply chain and community.
Our Modern Slavery Statement and associated procedures are subject to regular assessment and review, with a formal update undertaken on an annual basis. We continuously look for opportunities to strengthen our approach by learning from best practices in the industry, responding to emerging trends, and incorporating feedback from staff, suppliers, and the communities we serve. This ongoing vigilance ensures our anti-slavery measures remain effective and fit for purpose.
As a well-established florist at the heart of the Bickley community, we understand the importance of maintaining public trust through ethical business practices. Our stance against modern slavery is central to our identity and reflects our commitment to supporting the wellbeing of local households and businesses. We recognise the impact that responsible sourcing and employment practices can make, and are determined to be a force for good within the wider floral industry.
This Statement reflects the current position and ethos of Bickley Florist as we continue to champion human rights, dignity, and respect in all our endeavours.
