Modern Slavery Statement – Our Commitment to Ethical Floristry

Our Zero Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery North Harrow, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct. We have a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, and child labour. Our commitment extends throughout all aspects of our business and supply chain. Every employee, supplier, and contractor is expected to share and uphold our values in this endeavour.

Supplier Due Diligence

As a trusted florist serving homes and businesses in North Harrow, the integrity of our supply chain is paramount. We conduct thorough due diligence into all our suppliers before entering into partnerships. This includes reviewing their policies on employment practices, ensuring compliance with local and international anti-slavery laws, and requiring declarations of ethical trading standards. Regular assessments and supplier reviews help us ensure that partners consistently meet our ethical expectations. Should any supplier fall below our standards or be found to have links to modern slavery practices, we will take immediate action, including the termination of our business relationship if necessary.

Staff Awareness and Training

We believe awareness empowers action. Flower Delivery North Harrow ensures that all staff members, regardless of their role, are informed about the risks and signs of modern slavery. Our induction and ongoing training programmes provide the knowledge and tools our employees need to identify unethical practices, whether within our business or in the wider supply chain. By maintaining keen awareness and building knowledge, we foster a workplace culture where compliance, due diligence, and vigilance are shared responsibilities.

Reporting Channels for Concerns

We encourage transparency and open communication at every level of our business. Employees, suppliers, or any external parties are urged to raise concerns if they suspect any instance of modern slavery directly or indirectly associated with Flower Delivery North Harrow. We have clear and confidential reporting channels in place so individuals can voice concerns without fear of retaliation or negative consequences. Any reports received are taken seriously, investigated swiftly, and appropriate actions are implemented, which may involve working with relevant authorities.
