Flowers New Barnet is committed to conducting our business in a lawful, ethical, and responsible manner. As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in New Barnet, we recognise our responsibility to take a stand against modern slavery and human trafficking, both within our direct operations and throughout our supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we take to ensure our business activities are free from all forms of modern slavery.
We adopt a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. No form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation is tolerated in any aspect of our operations. This principle is embedded in our company values and guides every decision we make, from sourcing our flowers to delivering our arrangements to customers. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers and partners.
We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can extend through complex supply chains. As such, we conduct careful due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This includes assessing their ethical practices, checking for their compliance with relevant legislation, and ensuring they have policies and procedures in place to prevent modern slavery. Where possible, we prioritise working with suppliers who can demonstrate a commitment to fair labour practices, transparency, and worker welfare. We perform periodic reviews to strengthen these efforts and address any areas for improvement.
Our staff stand at the frontline in upholding ethical standards. As such, we provide regular training to all employees on the risks, signs, and responsibilities related to modern slavery and human trafficking. This empowers our team to identify potential concerns, understand the importance of due diligence in their roles, and act in accordance with our strict policies. Staff are encouraged to be vigilant, ask questions, and seek clarification whenever they are unsure about the ethical circumstances of any supplier or service provider.
To foster a culture of openness and accountability, we have clear and accessible channels for reporting any concerns related to modern slavery. Each report is taken seriously and investigated promptly. Employees, suppliers, and other third parties are encouraged to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. We are committed to safeguarding the identity of any person making a report and to taking appropriate corrective action whenever issues are found.
We are dedicated to continuous improvement in combating modern slavery. This statement and our related policies are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and reflect evolving best practices and legal requirements. We also monitor developments in our sector and the wider supply chain landscape, making adjustments to our processes when necessary to stay at the forefront of ethical practice.
As an integral part of the New Barnet community, we understand that the trust placed in us by our customers is a privilege. Upholding strong ethical standards not only safeguards our business and staff but also contributes to a fairer, safer society. Flowers New Barnet will continue to champion transparency, respect, and integrity in every bouquet we deliver and every relationship we build.
