Modern Slavery Statement – Florist Haringey
Our Pledge to Prevent Modern Slavery
Florist Haringey is wholly committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in every area of our business and supply chain. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the Haringey area, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and ensure respect for human rights throughout our operations.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We operate with a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. We expect the same high standards from all contractors, suppliers, and business partners. Any person or organisation found to be involved in such practices will face immediate and decisive action, which might include termination of contracts and disclosure to relevant authorities. This approach reflects our commitment to ethical business practices and community trust.
Supplier Due Diligence
Our approach to supplier relationships is grounded in transparency and integrity. We conduct supplier due diligence before engaging in any new commercial relationships. This includes:
- Requesting written confirmation from suppliers that they comply with all relevant anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation
- Assessing the risk profile of each supplier, with particular attention paid to sectors or regions known to have higher risks of forced labour
- Reviewing labour practices and, where appropriate, visiting supplier premises to verify working conditions
- Regularly reviewing existing suppliers to ensure ongoing compliance
We recognise our role in influencing ethical conduct throughout our supply chain and will not hesitate to discontinue relationships with suppliers who do not meet our standards.
Staff Training and Awareness
All Florist Haringey staff receive training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. This ensures that our team is aware of the important role they play in identifying and reporting any instances of unethical labour practices. Training is delivered as part of new employee induction and is refreshed annually to keep awareness high and knowledge up to date.
Reporting Channels
We encourage all staff, suppliers, and customers to report any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery or exploitation in any aspect of our business or supply chain. Reports can be made in confidence through our internal escalation channels. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and responded to in line with our zero tolerance policy. We are committed to supporting and protecting whistleblowers who act in good faith.
Annual Policy Review
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it reflects best practice, new legal requirements, and changes within our business or supply chain. Revisions are approved by the Senior Management Team and communicated to all staff and relevant stakeholders. We also seek feedback to continue improving our policies and procedures in this area.
Our Role in the Local Community
As a prominent florist in Haringey, we understand the unique trust placed in us by local households and businesses. Upholding high ethical standards is central to our mission and an essential part of contributing positively to our community. We believe that taking a proactive stance against modern slavery is not just a legal obligation, but a moral imperative that reinforces the values of integrity and respect that define Florist Haringey.
