At Florist Harlington, we are unwavering in our commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. As a trusted florist serving the Harlington community, providing floral arrangements for households and businesses alike, we recognise our responsibility to operate with integrity and uphold the highest ethical standards throughout our operations and supply chain. We have adopted a zero-tolerance approach to any form of slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking.
We understand that the prevention of modern slavery is a shared responsibility, extending beyond our direct employment practices to our suppliers and subcontractors. As part of our due diligence process when selecting suppliers, we require all suppliers to confirm their compliance with all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. This includes providing relevant documentation, company policies, and, when necessary, agreeing to site visits or audits.
Our supplier contracts contain clear clauses our zero-tolerance stance and our expectation that all partners share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery. We monitor ongoing relationships through regular communication and prompt investigation of any concerns that may arise about unethical practices.
Florist Harlington acknowledges that heightened awareness is a crucial part of prevention. We provide appropriate training to all employees, from florists to delivery staff, ensuring they understand what modern slavery is, how to identify possible indicators, and the actions to take if they suspect unethical practices at any stage of our supply chain. Training is revisited as necessary and updated to reflect legislative changes or emerging best practices. Employees are required to read and acknowledge this statement as part of their induction and annual compliance processes.
We actively encourage all our team members, as well as customers, suppliers, and members of the public, to raise concerns about any issue related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Florist Harlington provides clear internal and external channels for reporting concerns, guaranteeing that issues are handled sensitively and confidentially. Reports will always be fully investigated, with appropriate remedial action taken where necessary, and we are committed to ensuring that no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting a genuine concern in good faith.
We recognise that the risks associated with slavery and human trafficking can evolve. To ensure ongoing effectiveness, this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our management team. This review considers regulatory changes, feedback from stakeholders, audit results, and industry best practices. Necessary improvements are implemented promptly to strengthen our policies and procedures further.
Florist Harlington is proud to be a long-standing part of the Harlington community. We remain dedicated to operating in a manner that respects human rights and supports decent working conditions for all, both locally and in our broader network. Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery underpins the trust placed in us by Harlington households and businesses, reinforcing our role as a responsible and ethical local florist.
