At Flowers Haringey, we acknowledge our responsibility as a community-focused florist dedicated to serving households and businesses across Haringey. Recognising the risks of modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labour in the global supply chain, we are resolute in upholding ethical practices and safeguarding the dignity of every individual involved in our operations, from field to storefront.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy regarding all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies not only to our own business, but also to our relationships with suppliers, partners, and contractors. We are committed to taking all necessary steps within our capacity to ensure that modern slavery has no place in any aspect of our business, whether direct or indirect.
Flowers Haringey is mindful that the supply chain for flowers and associated products can cross international borders, increasing the risks of unethical practices. We conduct thorough due diligence before entering supplier relationships. This includes gathering information on supplier labour standards, confirming their compliance with relevant laws, and seeking evidence of their own anti-slavery measures where appropriate. Ongoing reviews and spot checks further reinforce our responsible sourcing commitments. We will not hesitate to discontinue relationships with any supplier found to be in breach of our ethical standards.
Understanding and identifying the signs of modern slavery are crucial steps in prevention. All Flowers Haringey staff receive appropriate training to spot indicators of forced labour, exploitative practices, and trafficking, both within our business and throughout the supply chain. This training is refreshed annually to reflect evolving risks and reinforce individual responsibility. Our team understands the importance of early intervention and proactive vigilance in upholding our values.
We encourage an open culture where concerns about suspected modern slavery can be raised without fear of reprisal. All staff, suppliers, and customers are informed about internal channels for confidential reporting of suspected incidents or risks. Disclosures are treated seriously and investigated promptly, with the utmost discretion. Flowers Haringey does not tolerate any form of retaliation against individuals who make genuine reports in good faith.
Our approach to preventing modern slavery is regularly reviewed and improved. At least once a year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, supply chain controls, and training. Lessons learned from these reviews shape our future actions, ensuring our processes remain robust and responsive to emerging threats. Where necessary, we update staff guidance and enhance due diligence requirements for suppliers.
As a trusted local florist, we believe our commitment to ethical practices extends beyond compliance—it's rooted in our identity as part of the Haringey community. Serving local households and businesses means being accountable to those around us and setting high standards for responsibility and integrity. This Modern Slavery Statement underscores Flowers Haringey's ongoing pledge to prioritise human rights, uphold transparency, and lead by example within our sector and our community.
