We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any breach of these standards or our policy is not tolerated and will result in immediate investigation and appropriate action, including termination of relationships with offending parties.
We are aware that flowers and associated products may involve complex supply chains which can sometimes be vulnerable to unethical practices. As such, South Croydon Florist performs thorough due diligence when selecting suppliers and business partners. Our approach includes:
The staff at South Croydon Florist receive training and regular updates to raise awareness of the risks and signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. We ensure that all employees understand how to identify potential instances of exploitation, both within our business and when dealing with our supply chain partners. This ongoing training ensures our team is empowered to make ethical decisions and to act as vigilant stewards of our company’s values.
We encourage all staff, as well as suppliers and customers, to raise any concerns they may have about modern slavery or unethical conduct. Internal reporting channels are accessible and protected to ensure confidentiality, and all reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. Our whistleblowing process ensures that anyone raising a concern can do so without fear of retaliation or detriment.
