At Sands End Florist, we recognise and embrace our responsibility to operate ethically and with integrity in all areas of our business. We are proud to be a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Sands End, and our commitment extends to ensuring that our operations and supply chains are entirely free from modern slavery and human trafficking.
Sands End Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. This policy underpins every aspect of our business. Any breaches discovered within our business or by our suppliers will result in immediate and decisive action, including reporting to the relevant authorities as appropriate.
We recognise that ethical standards must apply throughout our supply chain. Accordingly, Sands End Florist conducts thorough due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. We seek to work only with those partners who share our commitment to fair and ethical treatment of staff, compliance with all relevant laws, and the highest standards of business conduct.
As part of our supplier evaluation process, we request up-to-date documentation of employment practices and anti-slavery policies. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who do not meet our expectations, or who cannot provide satisfactory evidence of action against modern slavery in their operations.
Our team is at the heart of Sands End Florist, and we are dedicated to equipping our staff with the knowledge they need to uphold and promote our standards. We provide regular training and guidance to ensure that employees at all levels can recognise the signs of modern slavery within both the workplace and the supply chain. Training is reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, and industry standards.
Sands End Florist encourages reporting of any suspected instances of modern slavery or unethical practices. Staff are informed of secure, confidential channels through which they can raise concerns about related matters without fear of reprisal or discrimination. Our management team treats all reports with the utmost seriousness, investigating thoroughly and taking corrective action as necessary.
We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to tackling modern slavery. At least once a year, we review the effectiveness of our policies and practices. This annual review involves assessment of staff training, supplier compliance, and internal reporting mechanisms, enabling us to identify areas where further steps can be made to strengthen our commitment.
This Modern Slavery Statement reflects the values that Sands End Florist upholds as a longstanding part of the local community. We understand that our trusted reputation is built not only on the quality of our flowers and service, but also on the honesty and integrity underpinning our operations. Protecting the rights and wellbeing of workers in the supply chain is a key element of our promise to local households and businesses.
Sands End Florist will continue to strive for the highest ethical standards and act decisively in addressing the risks and realities of modern slavery. We thank our staff, suppliers, and customers for supporting this important commitment and helping us maintain the trust of the Sands End community.
