At Cubitt Town Florist, we take our responsibilities seriously as a trusted provider for households and businesses in the Cubitt Town area. We are committed to upholding ethical standards throughout our business and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our operations, reflecting both our values and our responsibility towards our community, customers, and suppliers.
Cubitt Town Florist adopts a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We insist that all our operations, and those of our suppliers, are free from exploitative practices. All staff, suppliers, and business partners are expected to comply with this policy fully. Any proven breach will result in decisive action, including immediate termination of business relationships where appropriate.
We recognise that our product supply chains, particularly those related to flowers, packaging, and sundry products, can be complex and international in scope. To combat risk, Cubitt Town Florist conducts due diligence checks on all key suppliers. This includes the requirement for suppliers to confirm that they abide by all local and international labour laws, and that they do not condone or engage in any form of forced or bonded labour.
Our supplier vetting process is periodically reviewed and includes the following elements:
We believe that awareness and education are essential to preventing modern slavery. All staff members at Cubitt Town Florist receive regular training on the identification of modern slavery risks and indicators of exploitative practices both within our business and the supply chain. Ongoing learning ensures staff are aware of their responsibility to remain vigilant and to uphold Cubitt Town Florist’s clear standards at all times.
Cubitt Town Florist strives to foster an open and transparent culture where staff, suppliers, and customers feel encouraged to report any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Any suspicion or evidence of illegal or unethical activity can be reported confidentially to management. Each report is promptly investigated and appropriate steps are taken in response, in line with our zero tolerance policy. We do not tolerate any form of retaliation against those who raise concerns in good faith.
This statement, and the controls within our business relating to modern slavery, will be reviewed annually. We are dedicated to the continuous improvement of our policies and processes. Where new risks are identified, or where best practice dictates, we will update our staff, policies, and supplier standards accordingly. This ensures our ongoing commitment to eliminating modern slavery remains robust and effective.
As a proud member of the Cubitt Town community, we recognise the importance of upholding public trust in everything we do. Our ethical operating standards are not only a legal requirement but a moral duty to the local households and businesses that rely on us. We will continue to promote integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights throughout all aspects of our business and supply chains.
This statement is made in recognition of our duties under the Modern Slavery Act and represents Cubitt Town Florist’s ongoing efforts to combat modern slavery, safeguard our people, and ensure a fair and ethical workplace for everyone.
