South Harrow Florist recognises the grave and ongoing issue of modern slavery and human trafficking worldwide. As a leading florist serving South Harrow’s households and businesses, we are committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct, and we maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery within our organisation and throughout our supply chains.
We understand our responsibility extends beyond our immediate operations to the suppliers we do business with. We take proactive steps to ensure that our supply chains reflect our values and meet our ethical expectations. This includes carrying out due diligence measures with all current and prospective suppliers. We request formal confirmation that they comply with all relevant anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation. Where appropriate, suppliers are required to share their own Modern Slavery Statements or demonstrate that they have processes in place to identify and prevent exploitation, forced or child labour, and trafficking. Periodically, we review these supplier relationships to ensure ongoing compliance and ethical sourcing, especially for products and materials originating from higher-risk regions.
Empowering our team is crucial to upholding our modern slavery commitments. All staff at South Harrow Florist receive training to help them recognise signs of modern slavery and understand the importance of ethical labour practices. This training forms part of the induction process for all new employees and is regularly reviewed. We ensure that every employee is aware of how to report any concerns, either directly or through our established reporting channels, and that they can do so without fear of reprisal.
Creating a safe environment for raising concerns is an essential aspect of our approach. Our reporting channels are accessible to all staff and, where possible, to suppliers and business partners. We actively encourage the reporting of any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery, whether within our own workplace or elsewhere in our supply chain. All reports are treated seriously and in confidence. Each concern is fully investigated, and where necessary, appropriate action is taken in line with our zero tolerance policy.
Modern slavery risks, legislation, and best practice are constantly evolving. For this reason, our Modern Slavery Statement and associated procedures are formally reviewed each year by management. We assess the effectiveness of our actions, stay updated with legal developments, and seek opportunities to strengthen our practices. This process ensures we continue to meet our ethical commitments to our local South Harrow communities and business partners.
As a trusted South Harrow florist, we believe our commitment to preventing modern slavery is a reflection of our responsibility to the residents, businesses, and wider community we proudly serve. Upholding these standards not only safeguards the dignity and rights of individuals involved in our business, but also assures our customers that they are supporting a florist dedicated to ethical, responsible practices. We remain steadfast in our promise to confront modern slavery wherever we can influence, pledging continued vigilance and improvement now and in the future.
