As a respected florist in Highbury, Florist Highbury is strongly committed to conducting business with the highest ethical standards. We recognise the responsibility we have to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines our approach and the decisive actions we take to ensure our business and partners are free from modern slavery practices.
Florist Highbury maintains a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We make it clear to all business partners and employees that the exploitation or mistreatment of individuals for personal or commercial gain is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply with our policy will result in termination of business relationships and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.
We understand that one of the greatest risks of modern slavery is in the supply chain. Our due diligence process includes assessing and reassuring ourselves that the growers, wholesalers, packaging suppliers, and service companies we work with comply with all relevant anti-slavery laws. New and existing suppliers must confirm their commitment to ethical standards, and we review supplier practices periodically, especially when sourcing from regions considered high risk. If concerns are identified, prompt investigation and appropriate actions are taken to protect vulnerable individuals.
Key to preventing modern slavery is equipping our team with the knowledge to identify risks and take appropriate action. All employees, whether permanent, temporary, or agency staff, receive training to understand what constitutes modern slavery, the signs to look for, and how to escalate any concerns they may encounter in the course of their work. We foster an open culture where every team member knows their voice will be heard and respected.
Florist Highbury is committed to providing safe and accessible channels for staff and partners to report concerns about possible modern slavery or unethical practices in our operations or supply chain. All concerns raised will be handled confidentially and thoroughly investigated by senior management. Retaliation against whistleblowers is not tolerated, ensuring anyone can come forward without fear.
We treat modern slavery prevention as an ongoing priority, not a one-off exercise. This statement and our anti-slavery approach are reviewed annually to ensure they remain robust and effective. We look for ways to build on our efforts, adapting our training, updating supplier questionnaires, and enhancing our monitoring in line with recognised best practice and legal obligations.
As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Highbury, we believe it is our duty to champion ethical conduct, set an example for others, and help protect those who may be at risk. We are dedicated to maintaining your trust – not only in the quality of our flowers and service, but in the integrity of our business as a whole.
