As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Longford, Florist Longford recognises our essential responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. We strongly oppose all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and our wider supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our ongoing pledge to maintain transparency and integrity as a reputable Longford florist.
Florist Longford enforces a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in any form. We believe that everyone deserves to work in an environment free from exploitation. We hold ourselves and our suppliers to high ethical standards and will not knowingly tolerate practices that fall short of these standards. All staff, business partners, and suppliers are made aware of this uncompromising stance.
Our business relies on a variety of suppliers to provide floral products, packaging, and delivery services. We are diligent in our efforts to ensure that our supply chain is free from modern slavery. Prospective suppliers to Florist Longford undergo a screening and onboarding process that requires them to confirm their compliance with the relevant regulations and our policies on ethical sourcing and labour rights. Periodically, we review our existing supplier relationships to look for any indications of risk and take necessary actions, which may include requests for further information or ending the partnership if concerns are not satisfactorily addressed.
We recognise that vigilance and awareness among our team is vital in the fight against modern slavery. All Florist Longford employees receive training in recognising the signs of modern slavery and are educated about our zero tolerance position. Through regular refreshers and open discussions, we ensure that everyone within our workplace understands the importance of spotting and reporting any potential issues, both within our operations and those that may present themselves in our supply network.
Florist Longford is committed to maintaining open, safe, and confidential avenues for staff, suppliers, and even customers to raise any suspicions of modern slavery. Reports can be made in confidence to our designated management team. We investigate all concerns thoroughly and take appropriate action in line with our internal procedures and applicable laws. We encourage a culture of transparency, ensuring members of our community feel secure in coming forward without fear of reprisal.
This statement and our corresponding anti-slavery policy are reviewed annually, and more frequently if relevant legislative or organisational changes dictate. We are dedicated to continuous improvement, enhancing our safeguards to address new forms of exploitation as we learn and grow. Each year, we evaluate our effectiveness in preventing modern slavery and establish actionable plans for ongoing development.
At Florist Longford, caring for people is at the heart of everything we do – both in our bouquets and in our business practices. We recognise that our role as a trusted florist extends beyond beautiful flowers; it is about nurturing a community built on respect, dignity, and ethical conduct. We remain steadfast in our efforts to combat modern slavery, reinforcing our commitment to all those we serve in Longford and beyond.
