Kenton Florist is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. As one of Kenton's trusted florists, serving both local households and businesses, we recognize our responsibility to stand firmly against all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chains. At Kenton Florist, any suspicion or evidence of slavery-related practices is considered completely unacceptable. This policy is embedded into the foundation of our operations, reflecting our values and our obligation as a reputable community business.
As part of our approach to preventing modern slavery, we conduct thorough due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. We expect our suppliers and partners to uphold the same high standards concerning human rights and ethical conduct. Our due diligence process includes:
If a supplier fails to meet our standards or is found to be involved in unlawful activities, their relationship with Kenton Florist will be reviewed, and appropriate action will be taken, up to and including termination of the business relationship.
We are devoted to raising awareness about modern slavery among all our staff members. Ongoing training ensures our team understands what constitutes modern slavery, how to recognise warning signs, and the steps to take should any concerns arise. Through regular workshops and resources, we empower our employees to contribute to the detection and prevention of unethical practices both within our business and throughout our supply chain.
Kenton Florist provides clear and confidential reporting channels for staff and suppliers who may have concerns or evidence related to potential modern slavery or human trafficking. We actively encourage prompt reporting and guarantee that all concerns will be thoroughly investigated in line with our procedures. Retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited.
We recognise that preventing modern slavery is an evolving challenge. To ensure our practices remain effective and relevant, we conduct a formal review of our anti-slavery controls and processes every year. This annual review allows us to evaluate the efficacy of our policies and training and to take steps for continual improvement.
Operating as Kenton's trusted florist brings with it the responsibility to uphold the highest standards of integrity and ethics. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our dedication to protecting human rights and fostering a safe, fair, and respectful environment for everyone, from the individuals in our workplace to those in our supply chains. Kenton Florist will continue to champion these values for the benefit of our customers, our staff, and the wider community.
