Florist Hatton is fully committed to upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our business and supply chains. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Hatton, we acknowledge our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking does not occur in any part of our operations or those of our partners. This statement outlines the actions we have taken, and continue to take, to protect the rights and welfare of all individuals connected with our business.
We have a strict zero tolerance approach towards modern slavery and human trafficking. At Florist Hatton, we refuse to condone, facilitate, or ignore any forms of exploitation, forced labor, or unethical employment practices. This policy underpins all aspects of our operations, from our own workforce to the extended supply chain that enables us to serve local customers with high-quality floral products and services.
To ensure transparency and accountability, we conduct thorough due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. When partnering with growers, wholesalers, and logistics providers, we assess their policies and practices regarding labor rights, working conditions, and ethical sourcing. We expect our suppliers to meet, at a minimum, the standards set by the Modern Slavery Act and to be actively working towards eradicating any risks of modern slavery in their operations. Should any supplier fall short of these expectations, Florist Hatton will take immediate steps, including reassessment of the business relationship or termination where necessary.
Our team members are at the heart of our business, and we believe staff awareness is critical in combating modern slavery. All employees at Florist Hatton receive training to understand what modern slavery is, how to recognize potential signs, and the appropriate actions to take should they have concerns. This training is regularly updated to reflect changes in legislation and best practice guidance. By equipping our staff with this knowledge, we aim to foster a culture of vigilance and ethical responsibility throughout the business.
Florist Hatton encourages employees, suppliers, and the wider community to raise any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices. We have in place confidential, accessible channels for reporting suspicions or incidents, and all concerns are treated seriously and investigated promptly. We ensure that anyone reporting in good faith is protected from retaliation, in line with our whistleblowing policy and ethical commitments.
This statement and our associated procedures are subject to annual review by the management team. We remain committed to continuous improvement, and we regularly monitor the effectiveness of our actions and adapt as necessary in response to new risks, legislation, or industry insights. Every year, we reflect on our progress and seek opportunities to strengthen our approach in ensuring the well-being and rights of everyone associated with Florist Hatton.
As a respected florist in Hatton, we recognize that our actions have an impact on local households, businesses, and the wider community. Our modern slavery statement forms a key part of our ethical foundation and trusted reputation. We are unwavering in our efforts to provide services that are not only beautiful and reliable but also grounded in respect for human rights and dignity.
This statement is made for the financial year ending 2024 and will be reviewed annually to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness.
