At Cranham Florist, we uphold a strict zero tolerance approach toward all forms of modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and child exploitation. As a respected member of the Cranham community serving households and local businesses, we wholeheartedly reject practices that contribute to or facilitate exploitation. Our obligations go beyond legal requirements, reflecting our wider duty to operate ethically and responsibly within all aspects of our business.
Floristry relies on a complex supply chain. We recognise the potential for risks to arise at multiple stages, from flower farming to distribution. To mitigate this, we conduct careful due diligence on all suppliers both locally and internationally. Our supplier selection process includes asking explicit questions about labour practices and requiring statements of compliance with anti-slavery and human rights standards. We seek documented assurances that no forced or trafficked labour is used, and we reserve the right to terminate any supplier relationship where credible concerns arise.
Our staff are the foundation of our business and play a crucial role in upholding our standards. We ensure all employees receive training in identifying signs of modern slavery and understanding the steps to take if concerns are raised. This training is incorporated into the induction process for new team members and refreshed regularly for all staff. By fostering a culture of vigilance and awareness, we empower our team to recognise and respond appropriately to risks connected to modern slavery.
Maintaining an open and transparent environment is essential to combatting modern slavery. At Cranham Florist, all staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicions or concerns regarding unethical practices. We provide clear channels for confidential reporting, ensuring any disclosures are treated seriously and investigated promptly in line with our company policies. No individual will face retribution for raising concerns in good faith, as we consider this a shared responsibility across our business and with our partners.
We are committed to regularly reviewing and enhancing our approach to modern slavery prevention. Each year, Cranham Florist undertakes an assessment of our practices, supply chain risks, and policy effectiveness. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and customers is welcomed as an important input to this process. Where improvements are identified, we act promptly to update policies or procedures. Our annual review ensures that we remain vigilant and proactive in our ongoing fight against modern slavery.
Cranham Florist's dedication to eliminating modern slavery reflects our position as a trusted local business. By taking robust action against exploitation, we safeguard our staff, support ethical trade, and contribute positively to the Cranham community. Through transparent policies and collaborative efforts with our stakeholders, we honour the trust placed in us by local households and businesses.
