Gospel Oak Florist is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and social responsibility in all aspects of our operations. As a trusted local florist serving the Gospel Oak community, we recognise that our responsibilities extend beyond the provision of quality floral products to the ethical treatment of every individual connected to our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and supply chains.
We have a zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Our commitment to fair and ethical practices is a core pillar of our business. We work diligently to maintain a workplace and supply chain where all people are treated with dignity and respect, and we expect the same high standards from everyone involved in our business and supply networks.
As a business reliant on a range of suppliers—from flower growers to logistics providers—we understand the importance of strong supplier relationships rooted in shared values. Prior to establishing any supplier partnerships, Gospel Oak Florist conducts due diligence to assess and review their ethical practices, ensuring they adhere to relevant laws and our own policies regarding employment standards, human rights, and the absence of modern slavery. Regular assessments are maintained, and we require all suppliers to commit to our zero tolerance stance by agreeing to contractual terms that prohibit any form of modern slavery or exploitation.
Our staff are vital to the ongoing success of our business and the implementation of responsible practices. We provide training and resources to increase awareness and understanding of modern slavery, including how to identify potential signs and the correct actions to take if concerns arise. This ensures that every employee, from florists to delivery drivers, remains vigilant and empowered to uphold our ethical commitments.
Gospel Oak Florist is committed to fostering an open and inclusive culture, where concerns about unethical behaviour, including suspected modern slavery or human trafficking, can be safely reported. We encourage all staff, suppliers, and even customers to raise any concerns without fear of discrimination or retaliation. We have established secure internal channels for reporting, which are regularly reviewed for effectiveness and confidentiality.
We understand that the risks relating to modern slavery evolve as our business and the world change. Our Modern Slavery Statement and supporting policies undergo a thorough annual review to evaluate their effectiveness and adapt to new challenges. We remain committed to continually improving our procedures, training, and supplier engagement in response to emerging risks and best practices.
Our place within the Gospel Oak community is built on trust, loyalty, and a shared sense of responsibility. By adopting and upholding these principles in tackling modern slavery, Gospel Oak Florist reinforces its dedication to the wellbeing of everyone we serve and employ. We believe ethical practices are fundamental to the trust placed in us by local households and businesses, and we are resolute in preserving that trust through ongoing vigilance and action.
