Catford Florist firmly opposes all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted local provider for Catford households and businesses, we understand that our reputation is built on ethical responsibility and the well-being of those connected with our services. This statement outlines our commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
We uphold a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery in any form. This policy extends to all aspects of our business and our dealings with suppliers, contractors, and partners. We are dedicated to treating our staff, suppliers, and customers with respect and fairness, ensuring that nobody connected with Catford Florist is exposed to forced labour, exploitation, or poor working conditions.
Our commitment to ethical standards begins with comprehensive checks on all our suppliers. We require assurances that our suppliers share our values and adhere to all relevant modern slavery legislations. New and existing suppliers are assessed for risks related to labour abuse, unsafe practices, and human rights violations. When necessary, we seek further information or clarification to ensure alignment, and we reserve the right to cease business with any supplier found to be non-compliant.
Recognising the vital role our employees play in identifying and preventing modern slavery, we provide regular training to all team members. Training sessions improve understanding of the signs of modern slavery, the importance of ethical behaviour, and the correct actions to take if concerns arise. By keeping our staff informed, we nurture a workplace culture where vigilance and responsibility are shared and valued.
We encourage a culture of openness and security where staff are comfortable reporting any suspected signs of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Clearly defined and confidential reporting procedures are in place, allowing staff to raise concerns with their line manager or a designated senior member of our management team. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly, without fear of retaliation for those bringing forward concerns in good faith.
Catford Florist is committed to regularly reviewing and refining our approach to modern slavery. This statement is reviewed annually and updated as needed to ensure it reflects current laws, best practices, and the evolving nature of risks within our industry. We assess the effectiveness of our policies, staff awareness, and supplier compliance as part of this process, striving for continuous improvement and transparency.
As a florist dedicated to serving Catford’s households and businesses, we recognise the trust placed in us by our community. Our stand against modern slavery is integral to that trust. By embedding ethical procedures at every level—from our shop floor to our supply chain—we reaffirm our responsibility to contribute positively to the lives of those we serve and work alongside.
This Modern Slavery Statement is made in good faith and is reviewed annually, demonstrating the ongoing commitment of Catford Florist to a fairer, safer, and more transparent industry.
