At Dartmouth Park Flowers, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards throughout all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Dartmouth Park, we recognise our responsibility to prevent and address all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our zero-tolerance policy and the actions we take to safeguard human rights and ensure transparency.
We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Dartmouth Park Flowers is committed to ensuring that neither our business nor our supply chain is complicit in any such practices. This policy applies to all employees, suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any breaches of this policy are considered a severe violation of our standards and will result in immediate and appropriate action.
Upholding ethical sourcing is paramount to our values. We carefully select our suppliers and expect them to share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery. All suppliers are required to acknowledge and adhere to our ethical standards, confirming that their practices respect human rights, fair pay, and safe working conditions. Before establishing business relationships, we conduct due diligence checks, which include requiring suppliers to provide information about their labour practices and, where appropriate, their own modern slavery policies. We reserve the right to review and terminate relationships with any supplier found in breach of these principles.
Raising awareness among our staff is crucial in the prevention and detection of modern slavery. At Dartmouth Park Flowers, we provide regular training to our employees, ensuring they understand the signs of exploitation and know how to respond if they suspect any wrongdoing. This training emphasises our policies, reporting procedures, and the significance of vigilance when interacting with suppliers and colleagues. We foster an environment where employees feel empowered and responsible for upholding our values.
We encourage transparency and open dialogue within our business. All employees, suppliers, and external stakeholders are encouraged to report any concerns regarding modern slavery or unethical practices confidentially. We have established clear internal reporting channels and guarantee that all reports will be handled swiftly, sensitively, and without fear of reprisal. Investigations are conducted thoroughly, and we take immediate action where necessary to rectify any issues identified.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure ongoing compliance with legal requirements and the effectiveness of our approach. We strive for continuous improvement, evaluating our policies, supplier relationships, and training needs regularly. Feedback from staff, customers, and suppliers is welcomed and incorporated into our processes to uphold our obligations and maintain trust within the Dartmouth Park community.
We believe that our position in the community comes with the responsibility to act as a role model for ethical business conduct. Our commitment to combating modern slavery reflects our dedication to the well-being of those we serve and those who make our business possible, both locally and throughout our supply chain. Dartmouth Park Flowers will continue to champion human rights and integrity, ensuring our services bring beauty and trust to the homes and businesses of Dartmouth Park.
