At Waterloo Florist, we are committed to operating ethically, with integrity, and in compliance with laws and regulations designed to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted local business serving households and companies in Waterloo, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of human rights across every aspect of our operations and supply chain.
Waterloo Florist maintains a zero-tolerance policy against any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. We do not tolerate such practices within our direct business activities or in those of our suppliers and partners. This unwavering stance is reflected in all our business relationships and guides both our decision-making and daily operations.
We understand that floristry relies on a global supply chain, and we are dedicated to ensuring that all products and services we procure are sourced ethically. Prior to engaging with new suppliers, Waterloo Florist conducts thorough due diligence, assessing each supplier’s labour policies, practices, and transparency. Ongoing reviews require suppliers to certify their compliance with anti-slavery legislation, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where unacceptable risks are identified. We continuously seek ways to strengthen our processes and promote fair working conditions along our supply chain.
Our staff are a vital part of Waterloo Florist’s ethos of responsibility and care. To support our anti-slavery commitment, we provide all employees with training on the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as guidance on appropriate action should they have concerns. This training ensures our team understands their role in upholding our values and safeguarding vulnerable individuals, both within our business and in the wider community.
Waterloo Florist encourages a culture where concerns about potential modern slavery can be raised promptly and confidentially. Staff, suppliers, and third parties are encouraged to report any suspected breaches of our anti-slavery policy without fear of retaliation. All reports are treated seriously and investigated thoroughly, with appropriate action taken to address any issues. Our commitment to open communication underpins our efforts to maintain a safe, ethical working environment.
To remain effective, our Modern Slavery Statement and underlying processes are reviewed annually. This review considers changes in legislation, industry best practices, and feedback from staff and external stakeholders. Where necessary, we update our policies and training to ensure they reflect changes in risk and continue to protect those most vulnerable to exploitation. By doing so, we reaffirm our dedication to combatting modern slavery in all its forms.
As a florist at the heart of the Waterloo community, serving local households and businesses, we recognise the importance of trust and ethical integrity in everything we do. This Modern Slavery Statement is not only a legal requirement but also a reflection of our core values and our ongoing commitment to act as a responsible member of our community. We thank our customers, staff, and partners for supporting us in upholding these principles.
