At Finchley Florist, we hold ourselves to high standards of integrity, honesty, and respect for human rights. As a trusted provider of floral services across the Finchley community – serving both households and businesses – we recognize our responsibility to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within all aspects of our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we take to uphold this commitment and reflects our values as a reputable member of the local business community.
Modern slavery, including forced labour, domestic servitude, human trafficking, and child labour, is a grave violation of fundamental human rights. Finchley Florist enforces a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery within our business activities and supply chains. We expect the same high standards from all third parties with whom we do business, including suppliers, subcontractors, and partners.
As part of our commitment to ethical sourcing, we conduct thorough checks on our suppliers. Our supplier due diligence process involves assessing potential risks related to modern slavery and examining the practices and policies of those with whom we work. When onboarding new suppliers, we require them to confirm their adherence to labour standards and their own proactive measures in preventing modern slavery. Where necessary, we review and audit supply chain arrangements to ensure consistent compliance with our values and legal requirements.
Prevention starts with awareness. All Finchley Florist staff receive regular training to help them understand what modern slavery is, how it can manifest within the floristry and wider supply sector, and the signs to look for. We believe empowerment through education enables our team to take responsibility for upholding our standards and reporting any concerns they encounter. Staff are encouraged to raise issues without fear of reprisal, confident that they will be supported by our management team.
Clear communication channels are essential in combatting modern slavery. We provide our employees with appropriate mechanisms for confidential reporting of any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery, whether observed within our workplace or connected to our supply chain. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly, in line with our internal policies and applicable laws. Where cases necessitate, we cooperate fully with relevant legal authorities.
To ensure the effectiveness of our approach, this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by Finchley Florist’s leadership team. We assess our procedures, training materials, and supplier agreements regularly and seek out opportunities to further enhance our prevention measures. Lessons learned and updates to legal frameworks are integrated into our annual review to drive continual improvement.
Finchley Florist takes pride in being a responsible business. Our continuing efforts to uphold the highest ethical standards reflect our dedication to the local households and businesses who trust us as their floral provider. Through vigilance, transparency, and partnership with our staff and suppliers, we are dedicated to preventing modern slavery wherever we operate, now and in the future.
