At Queensbury, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted local florist serving households and businesses in our community. We are dedicated to preventing all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within every part of our business and supply chains. This statement outlines our ongoing commitment and the actions we take to uphold the highest ethical standards.
Queensbury operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We categorically prohibit any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation, both within our own operations and from any individuals or organisations who supply us with goods or services. We expect all employees, suppliers, and partners to share this commitment.
We understand the importance of working with suppliers who align with our values. Our supplier due diligence processes include conducting thorough background checks, requesting information on suppliers’ own modern slavery policies, and continuously assessing the risk of exploitation in our supply chains. We require confirmation from our suppliers that they adhere strictly to anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation and best practice at every level.
To ensure that all our employees are fully aware of the risks and signs of modern slavery, we provide regular training and guidance to our staff. This includes information on recognising potential exploitation, understanding our reporting channels, and upholding the Queensbury standard of ethical behaviour. Staff are encouraged to voice any concerns and to contribute actively to our culture of vigilance and responsibility.
Queensbury is committed to fostering a transparent and open workplace. We provide clear internal procedures for reporting any concerns related to modern slavery, whether directly witnessed or suspected. Staff can report issues confidentially to management at any time. Reports are always taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, with appropriate actions taken to address any breaches of policy.
Our approach to preventing modern slavery is subject to ongoing scrutiny and enhancement. We review our modern slavery statement and associated processes annually, considering feedback from staff and any changes in legislation or best practice. Where necessary, we update our procedures, supplier requirements, and training programs to ensure we remain ahead of evolving risks.
As a prominent florist in Queensbury, serving the needs of local people and businesses, we know the importance of acting responsibly and upholding public trust. This Modern Slavery Statement embodies our dedication to ethical principles in every aspect of our work. We will continue to monitor, review, and improve our practices, ensuring we play our part in eradicating modern slavery in our industry and beyond.
