Longford Florist is unwavering in our approach to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business operations and supply chains. We are dedicated to upholding ethical standards and lawful practices, maintaining a zero tolerance policy regarding all forms of slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking. This commitment is an essential part of our responsibility as a trusted Longford florist, proudly serving our local households and businesses.
We acknowledge that our responsibility extends beyond our direct operations to the suppliers and partners with whom we work. Longford Florist implements rigorous due diligence processes when selecting and evaluating suppliers, requiring them to adhere to our strict ethical guidelines and compliance requirements. We expect all of our suppliers to operate transparently, observe fair labour practices, pay fair wages, and provide safe working conditions. We seek evidence of these practices during procurement and maintain ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance throughout our supply chain.
Our team is pivotal in identifying and preventing the risks of modern slavery. Longford Florist ensures that all staff receive regular training and updates regarding the risks and indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. Training modules include recognising signs of exploitation, understanding the legal and moral implications, and acting responsibly when concerns arise. This empowers our employees to maintain vigilance and contribute actively to our anti-slavery efforts at every level of our business.
We are committed to fostering a culture of transparency, where all staff, suppliers, and stakeholders feel confident to report concerns relating to modern slavery without fear of retribution. Longford Florist has established accessible internal channels for raising such concerns. These reports are handled confidentially and investigated thoroughly by appropriate personnel. We ensure all reported matters are taken seriously and subject to prompt and fair action, in alignment with our zero tolerance policy.
To ensure our Modern Slavery Statement remains robust and effective, we review our policy annually. This review assesses the outcomes of our supplier audits, staff training effectiveness, and the adequacy of our reporting mechanisms. Any identified gaps or potential improvements inform the strengthening of our controls and procedures. This cycle of continual improvement guarantees that our practices always reflect the highest standards in the fight against modern slavery.
As Longford Florist continues to serve the people and enterprises of Longford, we remain dedicated to operating with the utmost integrity and ethical responsibility. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is fundamental to maintaining the trust placed in us by our customers and community. By implementing and upholding these standards, we strive not only to comply with the law but to set an example within our industry and locality.
