As a well-respected florist serving the New Eltham community, New Eltham Florist recognises its duty to uphold the highest standards of ethics and integrity. Our customers entrust us with their celebrations, milestones, and connections, and this trust extends to all areas of our business, including our approach to combating modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that our business and supply chains are free from any form of modern slavery.
New Eltham Florist operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We do not accept or condone any practices that exploit individuals or undermine their rights and freedoms. This applies to every aspect of our operations as well as our dealings with suppliers and partners. We require all suppliers and contractors to share and uphold these values.
We understand that the journey of our flowers and products involves multiple steps, from growers to local delivery. To combat risk within our supply chain, we implement careful supplier due diligence. We select our suppliers based on their adherence to fair employment practices and their reputations within the industry. Periodic assessments are carried out to ensure that suppliers comply with our standards. We actively seek assurances from our main suppliers that they have their own robust anti-slavery policies in place, and we are prepared to end relationships with suppliers who fail to meet our expectations in this area.
New Eltham Florist is committed to equipping our staff with the knowledge and awareness they need to recognise and help prevent modern slavery. All team members receive training about the signs of modern slavery and the importance of ethical sourcing. We make sure our staff are aware of their responsibilities to act if they suspect any unethical practices, both internally and within our supply chain. Regular updates are provided to reinforce the seriousness of our anti-slavery commitment.
We encourage open communication and are committed to providing safe and accessible channels for reporting concerns related to modern slavery. Team members or external stakeholders can raise issues in confidence and without fear of retaliation. We treat all reports with the utmost seriousness and will investigate any suspicions or reports of unethical behaviour in our operations or supply chain. We are dedicated to transparency and to taking decisive action when required.
Our Modern Slavery Statement and the associated policies are subject to annual review. Each year, we reassess our approach, monitor progress, and look for ways to strengthen our procedures in light of changing risks and best practices. This process ensures that we remain vigilant and proactive in our fight against modern slavery. Updates will be clearly communicated to staff, suppliers, and customers as part of our ongoing commitment.
At New Eltham Florist, we understand that every bouquet and arrangement we deliver is backed by our reputation for integrity and ethical operations. Our efforts to combat modern slavery underscore our responsibilities as a trusted business within the local community. We are fully committed to working with our staff, suppliers, and customers to create an environment where fairness and respect are non-negotiable values.
