Berrylands Florist is devoted to conducting business ethically and with integrity in all areas of our operations. As a trusted florist serving Berrylands households and businesses, we acknowledge our responsibility to uphold the highest standards in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the actions we take to ensure these crimes are not present in our business or supply chain.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour. We communicate this stance to everyone in our organisation and supply chain. Any breach of this policy, either internally or by a supplier, is treated as a serious violation, resulting in appropriate action up to and including termination of contracts.
Berrylands Florist recognizes that modern slavery can exist at any tier of the supply chain. We take rigorous steps to ensure our suppliers share our values and ethical standards. All potential suppliers undergo a thorough due diligence process, including:
We expect suppliers to actively monitor and report on their labour practices, and to ensure their own suppliers meet these standards. Ongoing relationships are contingent upon continued compliance with our zero tolerance approach.
We believe that awareness is essential in combating modern slavery. All team members at Berrylands Florist receive regular training to help them recognise, report, and prevent any potential instances of modern slavery within our sphere of influence. Training covers:
Our management team ensures that the importance of these practices is communicated consistently and clearly across the business.
We encourage a culture of openness and transparency at Berrylands Florist. All staff, suppliers, and stakeholders are empowered to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. We provide clear internal channels for reporting suspected breaches of our modern slavery policy. All reports are investigated thoroughly and appropriate measures are taken in every case.
This statement is reviewed annually to reflect changes in our business operations, supply chain, and evolving best practices. Each year, we evaluate the effectiveness of our actions and seek new opportunities for improvement. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and the community is welcomed, helping us remain vigilant and responsive in our efforts.
As a committed Berrylands florist serving our local households and businesses, we know that the trust placed in us extends beyond beautiful arrangements. It encompasses conducting our operations fairly, ethically, and transparently. Our fight against modern slavery is one critical way we honour that responsibility—now and into the future.
