At Flowers Hampstead, we are deeply committed to conducting our business in a manner that upholds the highest standards of ethical integrity and respect for human rights. As a trusted Hampstead florist serving local households and businesses, we understand our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent all forms of slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking, and demonstrates our ongoing dedication to eradicating these practices.
Flowers Hampstead maintains a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. We are resolute in rejecting any form of exploitation, including forced work, bonded labour, servitude, or child labour. All employees, contractors, and suppliers must adhere to these standards, and we are prepared to cease any business relationships with those who are found to be engaging in or facilitating such practices.
Recognising that our supply chain is a vital component of our business, we perform rigorous due diligence on all suppliers and partners. Our selection criteria require suppliers to demonstrate compliance with laws and regulations concerning modern slavery, as well as to share our values around human rights, ethical practice, and fair treatment. We routinely review supplier practices and, where necessary, conduct further assessments or audits to ensure transparency and accountability throughout the sourcing of flowers, foliage, and all florist consumables.
We believe that empowering our staff with knowledge is essential in the fight against modern slavery. All Flowers Hampstead employees receive regular training designed to raise awareness of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our sector and our supply chains. Training covers how to identify warning signs and the correct procedures for reporting any suspicions or incidents, thereby helping to foster a culture of vigilance and responsibility across our business.
We have established clear reporting channels so that staff, suppliers, and members of the public can easily raise concerns regarding any suspected case of modern slavery within our operations or supply chains. Reports and concerns can be made in confidence, and we promise to thoroughly investigate every allegation, ensuring that any issues are dealt with sensitively and effectively. Flowers Hampstead will take appropriate action, including involving relevant authorities where necessary, to address and resolve any issues that arise.
This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to an annual review by senior management, reflecting our commitment to continuous improvement. We regularly assess the effectiveness of our policies, training, reporting mechanisms, and supplier evaluations, making changes where needed to respond to evolving risks and legislative requirements. Updates and improvements are shared with all employees and suppliers to ensure our practices remain robust and effective.
As a key part of the Hampstead community, Flowers Hampstead recognises the importance of transparency and ethical conduct. Publishing this statement reflects our ongoing commitment to the well-being of all those connected with our business and reinforces the trust our local households and business customers place in us. We remain steadfast in our efforts to prevent modern slavery and to operate with integrity and respect in every aspect of our work.
