At Flowers Finsbury, we are steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that modern slavery, in any form, has no place within our organisation or our supply chain. As a reputable florist with deep roots in the Finsbury community, we recognize our responsibility to operate ethically and champion the rights and wellbeing of everyone connected to our business—be they employees, contractors, or suppliers. This statement outlines the measures we have in place to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking, reflecting both our values and our legal obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This unyielding stance extends to all aspects of our business operations and those of our suppliers. Any breach of this policy is regarded as a serious violation of trust and will result in immediate action, including the termination of supplier relationships or employment, wherever necessary.
In our pursuit of ethical trading, Flowers Finsbury upholds a rigorous supplier due diligence process. We select partners who share our values and ethical standards, seeking transparent assurances that their practices are free from modern slavery and exploitation. Our procurement process includes risk assessment and requires suppliers to declare their compliance with modern slavery laws. Periodic reviews and checks are conducted to assess ongoing adherence, and we will not hesitate to cease business with suppliers unable or unwilling to meet our standards.
Our team is pivotal in the fight against modern slavery. We deliver continuous training to ensure that all staff members—regardless of role—are equipped to recognize the signs of modern slavery and know how to respond appropriately. This includes both induction training for new employees and ongoing sessions for the wider team. Through increased awareness, we empower our people to play an active part in safeguarding vulnerable individuals and upholding our zero tolerance policy.
We actively encourage reporting of any concerns related to modern slavery, whether within our supply chain, customer interactions, or inside our own operations. Staff and stakeholders are informed of clear procedures for confidentially raising issues or suspicions. All concerns are taken seriously and investigated swiftly, with appropriate action taken if any breaches are substantiated.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure that our approach remains robust and responsive to the evolving challenges presented by modern slavery and human trafficking. We continually assess our policies, practices, and training programmes to enhance prevention and ensure ongoing compliance with all applicable legislation. The result is a living document, reflecting both our continuous improvement ethos and our commitment to ethical business practices.
Our position as a trusted florist in Finsbury means we are woven into the fabric of the local community, serving households and businesses alike. We understand that our reputation relies not just on the quality of our flowers, but also on the integrity with which we operate. By upholding these standards, we demonstrate our dedication to the community we are proud to serve and to the wider fight for human rights and dignity.
This statement has been approved by the management of Flowers Finsbury and will be reviewed and updated annually to reflect developments in our policies and practices.
