At Ardleigh Green Flowers, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our work. As a long-standing florist serving Ardleigh Green households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. Our Modern Slavery Statement outlines our firm policies and ongoing actions to ensure fair and ethical practices within our organisation and throughout our supply chains.
We operate with an absolute zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights, encompassing slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring these practices play no part in our operations or supply chains, and expect the same robust standards from our suppliers and business partners.
Ardleigh Green Flowers conducts careful due diligence when selecting and reviewing our suppliers. Our processes include assessing suppliers’ adherence to legal and ethical standards, including compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We require all suppliers to confirm their own zero tolerance stance and to provide assurances that their staff are employed under fair, voluntary and lawful agreements.
Our contract agreements include clauses affirming the prohibition of modern slavery, and we reserve the right to audit supplier compliance. Any indication of slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain is addressed immediately, and supply relationships may be terminated if necessary.
All staff members, regardless of their role, are required to complete training regarding modern slavery, human trafficking, and ethical employment practices. Training covers how to recognise warning signs of modern slavery and what actions to take should a concern arise. By equipping our team with the knowledge and confidence to identify and report potential issues, we help create a safe, transparent, and vigilant working environment.
We encourage all employees, suppliers, and local community members to speak up if they have concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical practices connected to Ardleigh Green Flowers. We maintain open and confidential reporting channels so that any concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Reports are investigated thoroughly, with appropriate action taken in every case to uphold our standards.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and reflective of current best practice. Each year, we evaluate our actions and supplier relationships, update staff training content, and make improvements as needed. This ongoing review process is integral to fostering an environment where modern slavery is never tolerated and ethical business conduct is championed.
We recognise that as a trusted florist for Ardleigh Green’s homes and businesses, our conduct shapes local confidence in ethical commerce. This statement demonstrates the seriousness with which we approach our moral and legal responsibilities, reflecting our commitment to ensuring dignity, fairness, and genuine respect for the rights of all people involved in our business and supply chain.
We thank our customers, staff, suppliers, and local community for supporting our mission to end modern slavery. Ardleigh Green Flowers remains steadfast in protecting human rights, building trust, and delivering beautiful products in a manner that clients and the community can be proud of.
