As a trusted florist in Notting Hill, Flowers Notting Hill recognises the growing importance of addressing modern slavery and human trafficking within our supply chains and operations. Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced or compulsory labour. We are firmly committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in all our business activities and that of our supply chain, reflecting both our ethical responsibility and our role within the local community.
Flowers Notting Hill maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in all its forms. We do not engage with or support any supplier, organisation, or individual involved in human trafficking, forced labour, or exploitative practices. This policy is integral to our business ethos and is communicated clearly to all staff, partners, and suppliers.
We recognise the potential risks of modern slavery, particularly within global supply chains in the horticultural and floristry industries. Our supplier due diligence processes are designed to identify and mitigate these risks. We work exclusively with reputable suppliers who are committed to ethical sourcing and who can demonstrate adherence to labour laws and international human rights standards. As part of our procurement process, we require suppliers to confirm that they and their own supply chains are free from modern slavery and comply with applicable legislation. We regularly review our supplier relationships, prioritising transparency and accountability at every stage.
Training is a fundamental part of our prevention strategy. All Flowers Notting Hill staff receive regular training to understand the signs of modern slavery and the importance of ethical sourcing. This empowers our team to make informed decisions, to spot potential warning signs, and act appropriately. Promoting a culture of awareness and vigilance helps safeguard the welfare of vulnerable groups and uphold our values as a local business.
It is crucial that staff, suppliers, and members of the local community feel empowered to report any concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices. Employees are encouraged to raise concerns in confidence and without fear of reprisal. Our management team is trained to respond appropriately and conduct timely investigations into any allegations, with clear procedures in place for escalating any confirmed breaches of our zero tolerance policy. Where necessary, we will involve the relevant authorities to ensure any issues are addressed effectively.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure that our policies and procedures remain robust, effective, and up-to-date with evolving legal requirements and industry best practice. We strive for continuous improvement in our approach, including refining staff training, enhancing supplier vetting processes, and staying informed about emerging risks and trends within the flower sector.
As a florist serving households and businesses throughout Notting Hill, we take our responsibility to the community seriously. Upholding strong ethical standards and protecting human rights not only underpins our business integrity but also reflects our commitment to building trust and supporting a safe, fair local economy. We want our customers, partners, and neighbours to have confidence in our dedication to ethical practices at every level of our work.
This statement represents our ongoing pledge to prevent modern slavery and demonstrates how Flowers Notting Hill plays its part in fostering a transparent, ethical, and just supply chain in the flower industry.
