At Poplar Florist, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethics in all aspects of our operations. As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in Poplar, we are firmly committed to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, servitude, and forced labour within our business and our supply chains. This statement sets out the steps we take to address and mitigate these risks, reflecting our zero tolerance policy and our role as a valued part of the community.
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of basic human rights. We have a zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery and expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers, and business partners. Our internal procedures and ethical values guide every decision we make, ensuring our workplace—and by extension, our industry—remains a safe and fair environment for all.
Poplar Florist sources products and services from a network of suppliers. We are conscious that the greatest risk of modern slavery lies within extended supply chains. To manage this, we conduct regular due diligence on new and existing suppliers, including:
Any findings of non-compliance or unethical practices may require immediate corrective action or termination of business relationships.
Our staff are at the heart of our business, and their understanding of modern slavery issues is vital. We provide regular training sessions and updates to ensure all team members are aware of the risks of modern slavery and know how to identify warning signs within our business and among our suppliers. This helps embed a culture of vigilance and ethical responsibility across every part of Poplar Florist.
Poplar Florist encourages a culture where concerns can be raised without fear of reprisal. We have clear internal channels for staff to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. These reports are treated confidentially and are investigated thoroughly by management. We continually reinforce these channels to empower staff, partners, and suppliers to speak up if they encounter unethical practices.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and relevant. We evaluate our processes and take into account any changes in legislation, guidance, or business operations. Through these annual reviews, we seek to improve our policies and adapt our approach, reflecting our ongoing commitment to ethical business conduct.
As a florist trusted by local households and businesses, Poplar Florist recognises that upholding human rights is integral to maintaining the confidence and respect of our community. We believe that acting with integrity is not only our legal obligation, but a reflection of the values we hold dearly as part of Poplar's vibrant business landscape. We will continue to do everything in our power to ensure our operations remain free from modern slavery and to encourage others in our industry to do the same.
