Modern Slavery Statement from Florist Stamford Hill

Our Zero Tolerance Policy

At Florist Stamford Hill, we take our responsibilities as a trusted florist in Stamford Hill seriously. Modern slavery, in all its forms—including slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour—has no place in our business or supply chains. We are committed to operating with zero tolerance for these practices and upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct. This statement outlines our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery as we serve local households and businesses.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise the importance of ethical sourcing and supplier transparency in the floristry industry. To minimise the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains, Florist Stamford Hill implements thorough due diligence procedures when engaging with new and existing suppliers. We require all suppliers to confirm compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to labour, human rights, and ethical practices. Regular reviews and audits are conducted, and we monitor for any indicators of modern slavery or unethical labour practices within our supply base. If a supplier is found to be non-compliant or unwilling to adopt corrective measures, we reserve the right to terminate our relationship with them immediately.

Staff Training and Awareness

All members of our team are required to complete training that emphasises our commitment to combating modern slavery. This training, conducted annually, ensures staff understand what constitutes modern slavery, how to recognise warning signs, and the procedures for escalating any concerns. We strive to create a work environment where every employee understands their role in supporting our zero tolerance policy. This focus on awareness equips our staff to play an active part in maintaining the integrity of our business and its supply chains.

Reporting Channels

We encourage a culture of openness and transparency across our business. Any staff member, supplier, or other stakeholder who suspects or witnesses modern slavery is encouraged to report it promptly. Reports can be made confidentially to line managers or through our designated reporting channels within the company. We treat all reports seriously, investigate them thoroughly, and will not tolerate any retaliation against those who raise concerns in good faith. Our leadership team is dedicated to responding quickly and appropriately to any potential or actual issues identified.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our commitment to ethical practices is reflected in our ongoing efforts to prevent modern slavery. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to ensure that our policies and procedures remain effective and relevant. We seek opportunities for continuous improvement, whether by strengthening our supplier engagement processes, updating staff training materials, or learning from new industry developments.

Reflecting Our Local Responsibility

As a longstanding Stamford Hill florist, we are deeply rooted in our community and take our responsibility seriously when serving the households and businesses who trust us. Upholding these ethical standards is not only a legal obligation but a core value for our business. We are committed to maintaining the trust placed in us and to contributing positively to our local area by combating modern slavery in all its forms.
