Modern Slavery Statement
Effective Date: 29 October 2026
Publication: The Poppy & Elderflower Magazine
Publisher: MysticMoments Soap Ireland
Operator: Eamonn A. Lalor
Introduction
The Poppy & Elderflower Magazine is committed to conducting its activities ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights.
Although we are a small independent digital publication and are not currently required by law to publish a modern slavery statement, we believe it is important to publicly express our opposition to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation.
This statement outlines our commitment to responsible business practices and ethical conduct.
Our Commitment
The Poppy & Elderflower Magazine has a zero-tolerance approach to:
- Modern slavery
- Human trafficking
- Forced labour
- Debt bondage
- Child labour
- Exploitative working conditions
- Human rights abuses
We support the principles of fairness, dignity, freedom, and respect for all people.
About Our Organisation
The Poppy & Elderflower Magazine is an independent online publication operated by Eamonn A. Lalor and published under MysticMoments Soap Ireland.
Our activities primarily involve:
- Digital publishing
- Content creation
- Editorial work
- Website administration
- Newsletter publishing
- Advertising services
- Contributor management
- Community engagement
As a digital-first publication, our direct exposure to complex international supply chains is relatively limited.
Our Approach
While our size and operational structure mean that the risk of modern slavery within our direct activities is considered low, we recognise that exploitation can occur in many industries and locations.
We therefore seek to:
- Conduct business ethically.
- Work with reputable suppliers and service providers.
- Promote responsible business conduct.
- Treat contributors and partners fairly.
- Respect human rights principles.
- Maintain transparency in our operations.
Contributors & Freelance Writers
We welcome contributions from independent writers, experts, guest authors, and community contributors.
We aim to ensure that contributors:
- Participate voluntarily.
- Understand the nature of their contributions.
- Are treated professionally and respectfully.
- Are not subject to coercion or exploitation.
Where compensation is offered, terms will be communicated clearly.
Suppliers & Service Providers
The publication may occasionally engage third-party providers for services such as:
- Website hosting
- Software platforms
- Payment processing
- Email services
- Design services
- Marketing services
- Professional support
Where reasonably possible, we seek to work with suppliers that demonstrate responsible and ethical business practices.
Reporting Concerns
If we become aware of concerns relating to modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, or other serious human rights issues involving our activities, suppliers, contributors, or business relationships, we will seek to review the situation appropriately and take reasonable action where necessary.
We encourage individuals to raise concerns in good faith if they believe unethical conduct may be occurring.
Training & Awareness
As a small independent publication, we may not have formal corporate training programmes.
However, we remain committed to:
- Ethical decision-making
- Awareness of human rights concerns
- Responsible business practices
- Ongoing learning and improvement
As the publication grows, we will continue to review our responsibilities in this area.
Continuous Improvement
We recognise that responsible business practices are an ongoing commitment.
As The Poppy & Elderflower Magazine develops, we will continue to review our policies, partnerships, and operational practices to support ethical and responsible publishing.
