Modern Slavery Statement for Flowers Finsbury Park

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

As a trusted florist serving Finsbury Park’s households and businesses, Flowers Finsbury Park recognises our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. Our reputation is built on honesty, integrity and respect for both people and the wider community. We take active measures to ensure that neither modern slavery nor human trafficking is present within our business or supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Flowers Finsbury Park operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards any forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, bonded labour, and human trafficking. This commitment extends both to our direct operations and throughout our supply chain. We are resolute in refusing to do business with any organisations or individuals found to be engaged in any form of modern slavery.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise that the risk of modern slavery often lies within extended supply chains. As such, we are diligent in selecting and reviewing our suppliers, ensuring that they share and uphold our ethical standards. As part of our supplier selection and review process, Flowers Finsbury Park requires all suppliers to confirm adherence to laws regarding labour rights and fair employment practices. We seek assurances and declarations from our suppliers that they are committed to preventing modern slavery in their own businesses and supply chains. Should concerns arise, we undertake further investigation and take prompt action as appropriate.

Staff Training

To maintain a vigilant and informed workplace, we provide training and resources to our team members so they are aware of the signs of modern slavery and understand the actions to take if they have any concerns. Our training equips staff to identify possible signs of trafficking or exploitation among suppliers or within our own operations. We foster a culture where all employees and contractors understand the importance of upholding human rights and feel empowered to raise concerns should they arise.

Reporting Channels

We believe that encouraging openness and transparency is essential to tackling modern slavery. Flowers Finsbury Park has internal reporting mechanisms in place for staff to raise concerns in confidence. All reports are taken seriously and acted upon without fear of retribution. We are committed to investigating any suspicions or evidence of violation in line with our internal procedures and taking proportionate remedial action if required.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance. We reflect on our activities, assess changing risks, and update our policies, training, and supplier requirements as necessary. Improvement opportunities identified through this review are acted upon promptly to strengthen our approach year on year.

Our Responsibility to the Finsbury Park Community

As a proud local florist, our commitment to tackling modern slavery goes hand in hand with our dedication to serving the Finsbury Park area’s households and businesses with integrity and care. We understand the importance of trust in all our relationships and are determined to play our part in eradicating modern slavery from our sector and community.
