Modern Slavery Statement for Flowers Harrow
Our Zero Tolerance Policy Toward Modern Slavery
At Flowers Harrow, we uphold the highest standards of ethics and integrity in every aspect of our business operations. We have a clear and unwavering zero tolerance policy regarding any form of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our organisation or our supply chains. This policy reflects our responsibility as a trusted Harrow florist serving the needs of local households and businesses.
Supplier Due Diligence and Ethical Sourcing
We recognize the importance of vigilance in our supply chain to eliminate all risks associated with modern slavery. Our supplier due diligence process involves careful selection and ongoing review of all suppliers and partners. We expect all those in our supply chain to share our values and comply with relevant anti-slavery legislation.
All suppliers are required to demonstrate that they operate ethically—without exploitation or abuse of individuals. As part of our procurement process, we conduct assessments to identify and mitigate potential risks of modern slavery. If any supplier is found to contravene our expectations or the law, we respond immediately by reassessing our relationship and taking appropriate action, which may include ending the partnership.
Staff Training and Awareness
We believe in empowering our team with the knowledge and confidence to recognize and address any signs of modern slavery. Our staff receive regular training on relevant legislation, indicators of abuse or coercion, and our internal reporting procedures. This ongoing education ensures that every member of Flowers Harrow understands their role in preventing modern slavery, both within our premises and throughout our interactions with third parties.
Transparent Reporting Channels
It is essential that all staff, suppliers, and partners feel able to report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical conduct. We maintain robust and confidential reporting channels for staff to raise issues without the fear of retaliation or discrimination. All reported concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly and thoroughly.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
To ensure that our policies and practices remain effective and up-to-date, we carry out a formal annual review of our approach to preventing modern slavery. This review takes into account any legislative changes, updates from industry bodies, and feedback from our staff and partners. Where necessary, adjustments and improvements are implemented to reinforce our commitment.
We are dedicated to continuous improvement, and our annual review process is designed to ensure that Flowers Harrow responds proactively to emerging risks and challenges.
Our Role as a Trusted Local Florist
As a respected florist serving Harrow's households and businesses, we understand that our customers, employees, and wider community place their trust in us to operate ethically. Our modern slavery statement is an important part of our broader commitment to transparency, accountability, and social responsibility. We will continue to act with integrity in all areas of our business, and we welcome feedback from our customers and stakeholders as we strive to make flowers—and our wider world—free from modern slavery.
