At Florist Berrylands, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards and are resolute in our stance against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are a proud local florist serving Berrylands households and businesses, and it is our fundamental responsibility to operate with integrity and to respect human rights. We believe that ethical conduct underpins trust with our customers, our suppliers, and our community.
Our suppliers are a crucial part of our business and our service to the Berrylands area. To demonstrate our commitment to eradicating modern slavery from our supply chain, we conduct robust due diligence when selecting suppliers. This involves assessing their practices concerning the treatment of workers, adherence to international labour standards, and their own anti-slavery policies.
We require all our suppliers, where applicable, to confirm they operate in compliance with modern slavery legislation. Any suppliers found to be non-compliant are not considered for ongoing or future business. We periodically review supplier practices to ensure continued adherence to our standards, and we expect transparency and full cooperation at all times.
Our team members are the heart of Florist Berrylands, and we believe that empowering them through education is essential in our fight against modern slavery. All staff receive training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, tailored to their roles and responsibilities. This includes understanding risk factors within our industry and best practices for escalating concerns. Ongoing refresher training ensures that awareness remains high and that our team is prepared to support our ethical commitments as standard practice.
We encourage an open culture where staff, customers, and members of the public feel safe to raise concerns about unethical behaviour, including potential modern slavery. To facilitate this, we provide clear and confidential reporting channels. Reports are taken seriously and are acted upon promptly, with investigations conducted in accordance with our policies. Anyone raising a concern in good faith is protected from retaliation, ensuring that our commitment to eradicating modern slavery is supported by a robust safeguarding network.
We recognise that the challenge of combating modern slavery requires continuous vigilance and improvement. Each year, we review this Modern Slavery Statement and our related procedures to ensure they remain effective and reflect best practices. This process includes assessing our risk exposure, the effectiveness of our policies, and incorporating feedback from staff and stakeholders. Our commitment is regularly reaffirmed, and any necessary adjustments are made to strengthen our approach.
Being a trusted florist in Berrylands means more to us than simply providing beautiful flowers. It means conducting our business in a way that protects human dignity and supports a fair society. We are dedicated to upholding our zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery, ensuring that everyone in our supply chain and local community is treated with respect and fairness. By publishing this statement, we reaffirm our ongoing pledge to act ethically and transparently, serving Berrylands households and businesses with responsibility and care.
