Florist Belvedere is dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in all areas of our business. We have a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced or bonded labour, and child labour. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Belvedere, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that our operations and supply chains are free from any exploitation or unethical practices.
We understand that the integrity of our supply chain is critical to maintaining our commitment to ethical business practices. Florist Belvedere carries out thorough due diligence for all existing and prospective suppliers. This includes assessing the risk of modern slavery and requesting evidence of their adherence to anti-slavery policies. Our contracts require all suppliers to comply with the Modern Slavery Act and confirm that neither they nor anyone in their supply chains engage in forced, servile, or coerced labour. Where concerns are identified, we work with suppliers to ensure corrective action is taken, or we reconsider our business relationship if necessary.
Our team receives regular training to understand what modern slavery is, how it can manifest in supply chains, and the importance of vigilance. We provide guidance on identifying warning signs and clear protocols for reporting any suspicions. New staff are introduced to our anti-slavery policy as part of their induction, reinforcing that they play an important role in upholding our standards.
Florist Belvedere encourages all employees and external stakeholders to report concerns about any instance of modern slavery. We maintain confidential reporting channels, and all reports are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. There is no tolerance for retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern. Management takes primary responsibility for responding promptly and taking appropriate action, including referral to relevant authorities if required.
Our fight against modern slavery is a continual journey. Florist Belvedere reviews its policies, supplier relationships, and training programmes annually to ensure their effectiveness. Feedback is actively sought from staff, suppliers, and community stakeholders to promote ongoing improvement. This statement will be updated and published annually to demonstrate our continuous commitment and response to evolving risks.
As a valued local florist, we believe our actions reflect not just on our business, but also on the broader Belvedere community that trusts us. We take our responsibility seriously to ensure that the flowers and products we provide are sourced ethically and responsibly, protecting the rights and wellbeing of everyone across our supply chain.
This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the principles and steps we take to prevent any form of modern slavery from taking place within our operations. We remain committed to transparency, honesty, and ethical standards as we serve the households and businesses of Belvedere.
