At Dartmouth Park Florist, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct in every aspect of our operations. As a respected florist serving Dartmouth Park households and businesses, we are committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and across our supply chain. This statement outlines the steps we take to ensure that our workplace, practices, and partnerships reflect our zero tolerance for all forms of modern slavery.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation. Our staff, suppliers, and business partners are expected to operate in line with these values, and any violation is treated with the utmost seriousness. We are steadfast in promoting dignity, fairness, and respect throughout our business relationships.
Our suppliers play a crucial role in delivering quality products and services to our customers. To ensure our supply chain remains free of modern slavery, we conduct stringent supplier due diligence. Before entering into new business relationships, we assess potential suppliers for their own anti-slavery policies and ethical sourcing practices. We seek written confirmation from suppliers that they neither engage in nor support modern slavery. Where necessary, we require them to demonstrate ongoing compliance and transparency. Should any concerns arise, we reserve the right to suspend, review, or terminate supplier relationships to protect the integrity of our supply chain.
Our team members are the frontline in recognising and preventing modern slavery risks. All Dartmouth Park Florist staff receive regular training about the signs of modern slavery and the procedures to follow if concerns are raised. Training covers not only legal obligations but also practical guidance on creating a supportive and informed working environment. This shared awareness strengthens our collective ability to identify and address any potential issues promptly and effectively.
We foster an open culture that encourages employees, suppliers, and contractors to speak out against unethical practices without fear of reprisal. Internal reporting channels allow for confidential and prompt communication of suspected modern slavery cases or policy breaches. Reports are fully investigated, and appropriate action is taken in accordance with our zero tolerance policy. Staff members are reminded regularly that raising concerns is both supported and protected within our organisation.
This modern slavery statement is reviewed each year to ensure its effectiveness and to respond to any changes in legislation, best practice, or our operational environment. We regularly assess our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships and make improvements where necessary. Our commitment extends to ongoing staff education and the adoption of up-to-date guidance to ensure we remain vigilant.
Dartmouth Park Florist is proud to serve our community, and we hold our reputation as a trustworthy and ethical local business in high regard. Our approach to modern slavery prevention reflects our responsibility to our customers, our staff, and the wider community. We believe that acting against modern slavery is not only a legal and moral necessity but also a fundamental part of what makes us a valued Dartmouth Park business partner.
