Creekmouth Florist is firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in every aspect of our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the Creekmouth community, we recognise our responsibility to prioritise human rights and to take decisive action in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business practices and supply chains.
At Creekmouth Florist, we operate under a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. We unequivocally oppose all forms of forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, and exploitation. This policy is communicated clearly to all staff members, suppliers, and contractors as a fundamental expectation of our working relationships.
Our procurement and sourcing policies are designed to ensure that the flowers, plants, and goods brought into our business come from suppliers who share our commitment to ethical conduct. We undertake thorough due diligence when selecting and periodically reviewing suppliers. This process includes:
We believe education is crucial in the fight against modern slavery. All new employees at Creekmouth Florist receive training on identifying signs of modern slavery and understanding the importance of ethical business practices. Regular refresher sessions are conducted for existing staff to ensure ongoing awareness and vigilance. Employees are provided with resources that outline how to approach potential concerns or seek guidance if required.
Creekmouth Florist encourages a culture of openness and accountability. We provide clear and accessible reporting channels for staff and partners to raise concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery or unethical practices, without fear of retaliation. All reports are promptly investigated using a confidential and robust process, and, where necessary, appropriate remedial action is taken.
We are committed to continuous improvement in our modern slavery prevention practices. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to measure progress, reflect new risks, and devise enhanced preventative measures. We seek feedback from our staff, scrutinise supply chain developments, and stay informed about new legislation and industry best practice, ensuring that our approach remains current and effective.
This Modern Slavery Statement reflects not only compliance with legal requirements but also our values as an integral part of the Creekmouth community. As a trusted florist for local households and businesses, we consider it our duty to operate responsibly and set an example in ethical sourcing, transparent practices, and respect for human rights. We will continue to act steadfastly in upholding these values in all areas of our work.
This statement has been approved and signed by Creekmouth Florist’s management and will be published within each annual reporting period.
