At Flowers Barnsbury, we recognise our responsibility as a prominent florist in Barnsbury, serving both local households and businesses. We are deeply committed to ensuring that all aspects of our operations and supply chains are free from modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labour. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the measures we have in place to uphold our zero tolerance approach and support ethical practices throughout our business.
Modern slavery is a heinous crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. Flowers Barnsbury maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are dedicated to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships. This approach extends from our direct employees to all supply chain partners. We require that everyone connected with our operations adheres to the same high standards.
As a floral retailer reliant on both local and international supply chains, we recognise the importance of rigorous supplier due diligence. We have implemented procedures to assess the modern slavery and human trafficking risks of new and existing suppliers. This includes requiring suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery laws and our ethical standards, as well as ongoing monitoring and audits where appropriate. When selecting suppliers, we consider not only price and quality but also ethical track records and transparency regarding labour practices. Any supplier found in breach of our modern slavery standards will be subject to immediate review and potential termination of partnership.
To ensure that everyone at Flowers Barnsbury is aware of the risks and responsibilities associated with modern slavery, we provide regular training for staff at all levels. This training covers how to identify signs of exploitation, the importance of upholding our zero tolerance policy, and the steps to take if concerns arise. Frontline and management staff alike are encouraged to be vigilant and proactive in safeguarding the rights and welfare of all individuals connected with our business.
We recognise the importance of having clear and accessible channels for reporting suspected cases of modern slavery or unethical conduct. Flowers Barnsbury maintains robust internal processes that allow staff, suppliers, and business partners to report concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly, with appropriate action taken in line with our policies and relevant law. We remain open to feedback from the community on how we can further strengthen our approach.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure its continuing relevance and effectiveness. We remain alert to the changing nature of supply chain risks and are committed to ongoing improvement of our practices. Feedback and developments in legislation are considered in each review cycle. Our aim is to continue setting a positive example within the Barnsbury community and florist sector, strengthening trust among those we serve.
Flowers Barnsbury’s commitment to preventing modern slavery is an extension of our values as a trusted local florist. By holding ourselves to the highest ethical standards, we strive to promote fairness, respect, and dignity for all individuals involved in delivering beautiful flowers to our customers. We invite all staff, suppliers, and customers to support us in this commitment and to help us maintain a supply chain and workplace rooted in integrity.
