Our Commitment: Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement

Flowers Primrose Hill is committed to conducting all aspects of our business with the highest ethical standards. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Primrose Hill, we recognize our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking play no part in our operations or our supply chain. This statement outlines the actions we take to uphold this commitment and our ongoing dedication to social responsibility.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation. This principle is embedded within the culture of Flowers Primrose Hill and extends to all employees, suppliers, and business partners. We expect the same high standards from everyone we work with and we are prepared to discontinue relationships with anyone who fails to meet them.

Supplier Due Diligence

We're aware that the supply chain, particularly in the global floristry sector, can be vulnerable to modern slavery risks. As such, we perform due diligence checks on all new and existing suppliers. These checks include requesting information about their own anti-slavery policies, labour practices, and the provenance of products. Any supplier found to be breaching our expectations and values in relation to human rights is subject to immediate review and possible termination of our business relationship.

Staff Training

Staff at Flowers Primrose Hill undergo regular training to recognize the signs of modern slavery and understand the actions necessary for prevention. We make sure all employees are aware of our policy, as well as the risks modern slavery presents in both everyday work and the floristry industry as a whole. This training ensures our staff are equipped to make informed decisions and take appropriate action.

Reporting Channels

Maintaining open and accessible reporting channels is vital in the fight against modern slavery. We encourage staff, customers, suppliers, and the wider community to report any concerns or suspected incidents in confidence. Reports can be made directly to the management team. All concerns are treated with seriousness, investigated thoroughly, and acted upon as necessary, with appropriate protection provided for whistleblowers.

Annual Review

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect changes in legislation, industry best practices, and our own ongoing assessments. Our aim is continual improvement, ensuring our policies and procedures remain robust, effective, and relevant in addressing the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking.

Our Local Responsibility

As an established presence in Primrose Hill, serving local households and businesses, it is our earnest responsibility to set an example of integrity, transparency, and care. We understand that our customers trust us not only for the quality of our flowers and services, but also for the principles we uphold. Our stand against modern slavery is a core aspect of that trust, and we are committed to leading by example within our community and across our industry.
