At Fortis Green Florist, we are committed to conducting our business with the highest level of ethics and social responsibility. We take a zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and child labour. Our stance is rooted in our dedication to the local communities of Fortis Green and the trust placed in us by our customers. We believe it is our duty as a responsible florist serving households and businesses in the area to ensure that exploitation has no place in our business or supply chains.
We understand that the fight against modern slavery begins with robust supplier management. For this reason, we operate a thorough due diligence process when engaging with new and existing suppliers. We expect all our suppliers, partners, and contractors to adhere to the same values and high standards that we uphold. Before entering a business relationship, we assess suppliers’ employment practices, working conditions, and compliance with relevant laws. Ongoing monitoring includes periodic supplier declarations, reviewing audit reports, and maintaining open communication to verify adherence to our anti-slavery commitments. Should any supplier fail to meet our standards, appropriate actions will be taken—up to and including termination of contracts.
All staff members at Fortis Green Florist receive training to raise awareness about modern slavery and help them understand how to spot signs of exploitation both within our operations and in our supply chains. This training is provided upon induction and is refreshed annually to ensure up-to-date knowledge of best practices and legal obligations. We aim to empower our employees to act responsibly and confidently if they suspect any form of modern slavery.
We encourage the reporting of any concerns related to modern slavery—whether within our business or among our suppliers. To support this, we have established clear and confidential reporting channels. Staff are made aware of their rights and know-how to report issues without fear of retaliation. All reported incidents or concerns are treated with the utmost seriousness and investigated promptly and thoroughly. Our commitment is to provide a safe working environment where everyone feels supported in raising concerns regarding modern slavery or unethical practices.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by Fortis Green Florist’s management team to ensure its relevance and effectiveness. Each review will consider new risks, legal changes, and feedback from stakeholders, as well as any incidents reported or lessons learned throughout the year. We are committed to continuous improvement, taking proactive steps to strengthen our processes and further mitigate the risk of modern slavery affecting our business or supply chains.
As a trusted Fortis Green florist serving the needs of local households and businesses, we understand the importance of acting with integrity and safeguarding human rights at every stage of our business. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility and determination to prevent exploitation and support a more sustainable, ethical community.
