At Florist Creekmouth, we are unwavering in our commitment to ethical business practices and the prevention of modern slavery in all its forms. Modern slavery, which encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced or compulsory labour, is a grave violation of human rights. As a trusted Creekmouth florist serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to maintain the highest standards of integrity and respect within our operations, our supply chains, and our wider community.
We have a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery or human trafficking within our business and supply chain. We expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers, and business partners. Any incidence or suspicion of modern slavery is treated with the utmost seriousness and will result in immediate and decisive action.
Florist Creekmouth carefully selects its suppliers and works only with organisations who share our commitment to the elimination of modern slavery. We conduct thorough due diligence on all new suppliers, including risk assessments relating to country of origin, sector, and the nature of the goods or services provided. We maintain regular communication with our established suppliers and review their compliance with modern slavery standards as a condition of ongoing business. Where necessary, we will conduct on-site inspections or request evidence of our suppliers’ own modern slavery policies and practices.
We believe that awareness and education are critical to preventing modern slavery. All Florist Creekmouth staff receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, understanding their responsibilities in safeguarding individuals, and how to escalate concerns. Regular refresher sessions and updates ensure that our team remains vigilant and informed about evolving risks and best practices.
Florist Creekmouth encourages an open culture where any suspicions or knowledge of unethical behaviour can be raised without fear of reprisal. We have established confidential reporting procedures, enabling staff, suppliers, and customers to report concerns related to modern slavery discreetly and securely. Each report is taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and dealt with promptly in accordance with our policy and legal obligations.
We review this Modern Slavery Statement on an annual basis to ensure its effectiveness and to reflect any legislative, organisational, or supply chain changes. Progress is monitored and areas for improvement are identified and acted upon as necessary. This ensures our approach remains robust and aligned with our ethical values and legal requirements.
Serving the Creekmouth community means more than delivering beautiful flowers—it means earning the trust of our customers and acting as a responsible local business. This Modern Slavery Statement is a reflection of our commitment to upholding the welfare, dignity, and rights of everyone connected to our operations. We thank our staff, suppliers, and customers for their shared dedication to ethical business conduct.
