Wapping Florist is dedicated to the highest ethical standards and acting with integrity in every area of our operations. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses across Wapping, we acknowledge our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business, supply chains, and wider network. This statement demonstrates our commitment to upholding these principles, ensuring our floral services positively impact our community and beyond.
We implement a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour. Our management and team will not tolerate any activities, practices, or conduct that contradicts our fundamental values of dignity and respect for all individuals. This commitment is embedded within both our internal operations and external supplier relationships.
Recognising that risks of modern slavery may arise within supply chains, Wapping Florist conducts thorough due diligence before engaging or renewing contracts with suppliers. This assessment includes, where relevant:
If any real or potential risk is identified, we take immediate measures, which may include suspending or terminating supplier relationships if they do not demonstrate improvement or alignment with our values.
Our team receives regular training to increase awareness of the risks and signs associated with modern slavery. This ensures that everyone within Wapping Florist understands how to spot potential concerns—whether within our own operations or in dealings with suppliers. Training is updated annually and includes guidance on making ethical purchasing decisions, recognising unacceptable practices, and understanding their role in preventing exploitation.
We provide clear and accessible channels for staff, suppliers, and stakeholders to raise any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery confidentially, without fear of retaliation. All concerns are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly by designated management. We are committed to creating a culture in which speaking up is encouraged, as this is essential to our ongoing vigilance against exploitation.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by Wapping Florist’s leadership team to assess performance and consider new initiatives or areas for enhanced action. We remain committed to strengthening our approach over time, learning from best practices and industry developments. The results of these reviews inform any policy updates, further training, or supplier engagement measures required.
Wapping Florist is proud of our role within the community and our reputation for providing reliable, beautiful floral arrangements to local households and businesses. Upholding our responsibilities to combat modern slavery reflects both our ethical values and our commitment to earning the trust of those we serve, today and in the future.
