At Flowers Harringay, we recognise that tackling modern slavery and human trafficking is a global and local responsibility. As a trusted florist serving residential and commercial customers throughout Harringay, we are committed to ensuring that our business and supply chains operate with utmost respect for human rights. We believe every individual deserves to work in an environment free from slavery, exploitation, and forced labour. This statement explains our practical steps to prevent forced labour and uphold ethical standards in all areas of our operation.
Flowers Harringay maintains a strict zero tolerance policy regarding all forms of modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We do not engage in, condone, or tolerate exploitative practices in any aspect of our business or supply relationships. This policy is integral to our core values and is communicated clearly to all employees, suppliers, and partners. Non-compliance with our policy will result in thorough investigation and may lead to termination of contracts or employment where necessary.
We recognise that our responsibility extends beyond our own operations to those of our suppliers and partners. Accordingly, we conduct robust due diligence on all our suppliers, particularly those involved in the sourcing of flowers, foliage, and related products. Our supplier selection process includes questions regarding their own labour practices and compliance with anti-slavery laws. To mitigate risks in our supply chain, we prioritise working with suppliers who demonstrate a proven commitment to ethical labour standards.
We require all suppliers to confirm that their operations do not involve any form of modern slavery and that they actively monitor and improve their own supply chains. Where appropriate, we seek further assurances by requesting evidence of relevant policies or audit results. Should concerns arise, we engage directly with suppliers to address issues swiftly and transparently.
Our people are central to upholding our standards. We provide training to every team member to increase awareness of modern slavery risks. This training covers how to spot warning signs, whom to inform, and how the issue might impact individuals along our supply chain. By empowering our staff with knowledge and practical guidance, we aim to create an organisational culture that is vigilant, responsible, and proactive in preventing exploitation.
We encourage all staff, suppliers, and customers to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery, whether observed directly or indirectly within our business and wider supply chain. Flowers Harringay’s management team treats all reports with the utmost sensitivity and acts promptly to investigate concerns. We maintain confidential channels for reporting, ensuring no one suffers recrimination or victimisation for speaking up. Our commitment to transparency extends to cooperating fully with local authorities or agencies should more formal investigation be required.
Modern slavery risks evolve, so we review our policy and controls annually. This process includes re-evaluating supplier relationships, updating our training programmes, and assessing internal reporting procedures. Any changes or improvements are implemented promptly. Key findings from each annual review are shared with our team to ensure continuous progress and awareness throughout the business.
As a respected and well-established business in Harringay, we acknowledge that our neighbours—and those who supply to us—rely on our integrity. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to social responsibility, setting a positive standard for both our industry and our local area. Flowers Harringay stands firmly against modern slavery in all its forms, striving to make positive contributions to our community and beyond.
