Florist Eltham is deeply committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our operations. We recognise our responsibility as a trusted florist serving households and businesses in Eltham and surrounding communities. We strive to ensure that our products, services, and supply chains are free from any form of exploitation or forced labour, reflecting our core values of respect, integrity, and social responsibility.
We operate under a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. At Florist Eltham, we unequivocally oppose any practices that involve forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, or exploitation. All members of staff, management, and our suppliers are expected to share this commitment and act in accordance with our ethical standards.
Our reputation as a florist depends not only on the quality of our flowers but also on the integrity of our supply chain. We carefully select suppliers and partners and conduct due diligence to seek assurances that they adhere to ethical employment practices and the prohibition of modern slavery. Wherever possible, we request transparency regarding sourcing and audit suppliers for compliance with relevant labour laws.
We also encourage our suppliers to engage in their own assessments and to promote open communication regarding employment practices, ensuring that all workers are treated fairly and with dignity.
Florist Eltham is committed to educating its staff so that modern slavery and human trafficking risks are understood throughout the business. We provide training to all employees to raise awareness of the signs of exploitation, empower them to raise concerns, and inform them of the actions they should take if any suspicious activity arises. Staff are reminded of our expectations regarding ethical conduct both internally and when dealing with suppliers and third parties.
We encourage a speak-up culture in which staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders feel safe to report concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Any employee who suspects or witnesses any form of exploitation should report their concerns without fear of reprisal. Reports can be made confidentially and are taken seriously, with prompt investigations and appropriate remedial actions undertaken as necessary. We treat all reports with the utmost sensitivity and are committed to protecting whistleblowers.
Florist Eltham regularly reviews and updates this Modern Slavery Statement to ensure its effectiveness. We conduct an annual assessment of our policies, supplier relationships, and staff training programmes, seeking opportunities for continued improvement. Should we identify any risks or shortcomings, we act decisively to address them and strengthen our preventative measures.
As a local florist, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards in supporting the well-being of our community and those involved in our supply chain. We are dedicated to maintaining transparency, fostering ethical practices, and preventing modern slavery wherever we operate. This statement is published to reaffirm our commitment and to inform customers, staff, and suppliers of the steps we are taking to create a safe, fair, and responsible environment within Florist Eltham.
