Colney Hatch Florist recognises its responsibility in ensuring that modern slavery, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation have no place in our operations or supply chains. As a trusted local business serving households and enterprises throughout Colney Hatch, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards and promoting human rights. This statement outlines our approach for identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery risks across our business activities.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our business. This stance applies to our direct employees, contractors, and all individuals and organisations with whom we work—including suppliers, growers, and service providers. We expect every person connected to Colney Hatch Florist to share and support this commitment to eradicating forced labour and exploitation in any form.
Our supply chain, from floriculture farms to local delivery contractors, is central to our operations. We carefully select our suppliers and subject them to rigorous due diligence checks. This process involves assessing their ethical standards, ensuring compliance with relevant anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation, and requiring declarations that their own supply chains are free from exploitative practices. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier who fails to demonstrate a commitment to these standards.
Colney Hatch Florist provides regular training to all staff, ensuring they understand the signs of modern slavery and the importance of upholding ethical standards in the workplace. Training sessions cover legal obligations, how to recognise indicators of exploitation, and the proper reporting procedures. We encourage our team members to raise concerns without fear of retaliation, and we equip them with the knowledge needed to act responsibly and alertly.
We believe in fostering an open and transparent environment where concerns about modern slavery can be raised in confidence. Any staff member, supplier, or customer who suspects instances of exploitation or unethical practices may report their concerns via our established internal channels. All reports will be treated with sensitivity, rigorously investigated, and, where appropriate, escalated to relevant authorities. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and taking swift action whenever necessary.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed on an annual basis by senior management to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we regularly evaluate our procedures, update staff training, and strengthen supplier vetting processes. We welcome feedback from our staff, customers, and suppliers as an important part of our review process and an opportunity to enhance our anti-slavery measures.
Our clients and communities place their trust in Colney Hatch Florist, not just for quality flowers and service but also for our integrity and ethical standards. As we serve local households and businesses, we are dedicated to ensuring that our practices reflect respect for human rights, dignity, and social responsibility. This statement reflects our ongoing pledge to be vigilant, accountable, and proactive in combating modern slavery at every level of our operations.
