Eltham Florist is unwavering in its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms within our business operations and across our supply chains. We recognise the grave and ongoing issue of modern slavery globally, and, as a trusted florist serving the Eltham community's households and businesses, we take our responsibilities seriously. Our goal is to ensure that every aspect of our work — from sourcing flowers to delivering arrangements — is free from coercion, exploitation, and any form of forced labour.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This policy forms the foundation of our approach to ethical trading and business conduct. All employees, suppliers, and partners are expected to uphold and embody this standard in their professional relationships with Eltham Florist. Any breach of this policy will prompt immediate and thorough investigation and, if necessary, legal action or dissolution of business relationships.
Eltham Florist is committed to working with reputable suppliers who demonstrate shared values regarding human rights and ethical conduct. Before engaging with new suppliers, we conduct risk assessments to evaluate their own practices regarding labour rights and working conditions. We require our suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery laws and to take reasonable steps to prevent modern slavery within their own operations and supply chains. Periodic reviews of supplier conduct help us maintain these high standards throughout our network.
To reinforce our zero tolerance stance, all employees receive training on the definitions, signs, and risks associated with modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as our internal policies to combat such issues. This training enables staff to identify and report potential problems, and ensures a workplace culture grounded in respect for human rights. Training is updated periodically to reflect emerging issues, legal developments, and best practices in the fight against modern slavery.
Eltham Florist maintains open and confidential reporting channels to ensure any concerns or suspicions about modern slavery can be safely raised by employees, suppliers, or other stakeholders. Reports may be made without fear of retaliation, and all concerns will be dealt with promptly and sensitively. Protection of whisteblowers is a priority, allowing us to address issues at the earliest opportunity and take effective corrective action if necessary.
This modern slavery statement reflects our ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical business practices. We review our policies and procedures annually, ensuring they remain effective and robust in identifying and addressing potential risks of modern slavery in our area of influence. Updates to this statement and supporting documents may be made following each review.
Eltham Florist is proud to serve the Eltham community. We recognise that our reputation is built on trust, quality, and integrity. Our approach to tackling modern slavery is grounded in the belief that our business activities should contribute positively to the lives of our staff, our suppliers, and everyone who engages with us. We are dedicated to doing our part in eradicating modern slavery and fostering a safe and fair environment for all.
