The ongoing fight against modern slavery is a shared global responsibility, and at Flowers East Finchley, we recognise the crucial role local businesses play in this endeavour. As a trusted florist serving East Finchley households and businesses, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our organisation and supply chains.
Flowers East Finchley maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. This commitment extends across all areas of our operations, from our talented in-house team to the suppliers with whom we partner. We believe that every individual connected to our business deserves dignity, respect, and fair treatment, and we expect the same standards from those with whom we choose to work.
We acknowledge that modern slavery can occur at various points within supply chains, including the sourcing of flowers, materials, and related products. As part of our due diligence process, Flowers East Finchley assesses all potential suppliers for their compliance with anti-slavery principles before any agreements are made. We require our suppliers to share our values and demonstrate transparent practices, including the right to work, fair wages, and safe working conditions for all staff. Regular reviews and audits are carried out to reinforce these commitments and ensure ongoing compliance.
Empowering our team is central to preventing modern slavery. All staff at Flowers East Finchley receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding the procedures for raising concerns. This training is regularly updated to reflect new information and best practice standards, helping to ensure that our team remains vigilant and well-informed. By embedding this awareness into our culture, we aim to create a workplace that proactively safeguards the rights of all individuals.
We encourage transparency and open communication across all areas of our business. All team members, suppliers, and wider stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicions, disclosures, or incidents relating to modern slavery through clearly communicated reporting channels. Reports will be treated seriously and investigated thoroughly, with prompt and appropriate action taken in all genuine cases. All concerns will be handled with confidentiality and sensitivity to protect the rights and safety of those involved.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure our policies and practices remain effective and appropriate. Each year, we assess our progress, consider changes in legislation, and update our approach to reflect new risks and challenges. This cycle of continuous improvement helps us sustain our commitment and adapt to evolving standards in ethical business practice.
As a longstanding East Finchley florist, Flowers East Finchley recognises that our responsibilities extend beyond business transactions. Our customers, their families, and their businesses trust us not just with life’s celebrations but with upholding the values of our community. This statement is a reflection of our dedication to those we serve, ensuring that every flower, bouquet, and interaction is rooted in integrity and respect for human rights.
