Flower Delivery Muswell Hill – Modern Slavery Statement
Our Zero Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery
At Flower Delivery Muswell Hill, we believe that every individual has the right to live and work free from slavery, servitude, and forced or compulsory labour. As a trusted florist serving the Muswell Hill community, including local households and businesses, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. We adopt a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and throughout our supply chain.
Supplier Due Diligence
Our commitment to combating modern slavery begins with a thorough approach to supplier due diligence. We carefully select suppliers who share our values and adhere to similar ethical principles. All potential suppliers are assessed for their policies and practices regarding modern slavery. We require confirmation that they comply with legal requirements and actively work to prevent exploitative practices in their operations. Where appropriate, we seek written confirmation of commitment to the principles set out by the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Our ongoing relationships with suppliers are subject to regular review. We conduct risk assessments based on industry, country of origin, and history of compliance with ethical practices. If concerns are raised, we actively engage with the supplier to obtain further information and, if necessary, reconsider our business relationship.
Staff Training and Awareness
We recognise that educating and empowering our staff is critical to the effectiveness of our modern slavery policies. All team members undergo training to identify and report potential indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes recognising signs of exploitation, understanding our reporting channels, and appreciating the importance of due diligence with third-party suppliers. We ensure that staff at all levels are aware of their responsibilities and encouraged to raise concerns without fear of reprisal.
Reporting Channels
Flower Delivery Muswell Hill is committed to maintaining open and accessible channels for reporting any concerns related to modern slavery. All employees and stakeholders are encouraged to report potential or suspected cases of slavery and exploitation within our business or supply chain. Reports are treated seriously and confidentially. We offer assurance that individuals raising genuine concerns will be protected from any form of retaliation.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We regularly review our modern slavery policies and procedures to ensure their effectiveness and continued relevance. This statement and related practices are formally reviewed at least once a year, allowing us to respond to evolving risks, legal developments, and best practice guidance. Where improvements are identified, we take prompt action to strengthen our approach.
Our Responsibility as a Local Florist
As a leading Muswell Hill florist, we understand that our reputation is built on the trust of the local community. We take our responsibility seriously, not only in delivering exceptional floral arrangements but also in upholding the rights and dignity of every individual involved in our supply chain. Our commitment to fighting modern slavery reflects our core values and our promise to customers, partners, and the wider community.
This Modern Slavery Statement shows our dedication to ethical business practices and our determination to play an active role in eliminating all forms of modern slavery. We encourage ongoing dialogue with staff, customers, and suppliers to uphold these standards and make a positive impact in Muswell Hill and beyond.
