Emerson Park Florist Modern Slavery Statement
Our Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery
Emerson Park Florist is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in all aspects of our operations. We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within both our business and our supply chains. As a trusted florist serving the Emerson Park community, local households, and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to ensure our practices reflect our core values of integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We maintain a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Emerson Park Florist strictly prohibits any involvement in forced or compulsory labour, child labour, slavery, servitude, or human trafficking. This stance extends to our employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners. Any breaches of this policy are treated with the utmost seriousness and will result in immediate action, including the termination of contracts and partnerships where necessary.
Supplier Due Diligence
We understand that modern slavery risks can exist in global supply chains, including those linked to floriculture and related services. Accordingly, Emerson Park Florist carries out thorough due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This involves risk assessments, supplier audits, and further inquiries where appropriate to verify that our partners meet legal and ethical standards.
We expect all of our suppliers to adhere to the same principles we uphold. Where possible, we request statements of compliance with anti-slavery laws and require suppliers to demonstrate transparency in their own sourcing and employment practices. Should a supplier be found in breach of our policy, we will take decisive corrective action or cease relations with that supplier.
Staff Training and Awareness
We believe that empowering our staff is vital to the success of our anti-slavery efforts. All employees receive regular training and guidance to help them recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand how to act upon any concerns. This training covers relevant laws, processes for reporting suspicions, and the ethical values that underpin our business. By fostering a culture of vigilance and accountability, we ensure that our workforce is equipped to support our commitment to combatting modern slavery.
Reporting Channels
Emerson Park Florist encourages everyone associated with our business—be they employees, suppliers, or members of the public—to report any concerns related to modern slavery in a confidential and secure manner. We have established clear and accessible channels for raising concerns, and guarantee that all reports are treated seriously. No one will face adverse consequences for reporting in good faith.
All reported issues are investigated thoroughly and appropriate action is taken in accordance with our policies and legal obligations.
Annual Review
Our Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies are reviewed annually to ensure they remain robust and effective.

The statement will be updated as necessary and communicated to employees, suppliers, and stakeholders.
