At Edgware Florist, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity throughout our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the Edgware area, we recognise our responsibility to prevent all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, both within our own business and throughout our supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we have taken, and continue to take, to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in or connected to our business.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Edgware Florist will not knowingly engage with any supplier, contractor, or business partner who takes part in exploitative practices. We expect our employees, suppliers, and partners to share our commitment to treating individuals ethically and lawfully at all times.
Given our reliance on a global supply chain for fresh flowers, plants, packaging, and related products, we understand the importance of transparency and ethical sourcing. As part of our procurement process, Edgware Florist undertakes thorough due diligence on all new suppliers. We prioritise working with suppliers who demonstrate robust measures to combat modern slavery and adhere to fair labour practices.
We request information about suppliers’ own modern slavery policies and seek assurances that their businesses and supply chains operate in full compliance with relevant laws and ethical standards. Our supplier relationships are regularly reviewed to ensure ongoing adherence to these expectations. Should any concerns arise regarding modern slavery, we reserve the right to take appropriate action, including the reconsideration or termination of supplier contracts.
We believe that awareness is a key tool in the fight against modern slavery. All Edgware Florist employees receive training on how to identify potential signs of modern slavery and exploitation, both within our business and throughout our supply chain. Our training underscores the importance of vigilance, ethical responsibility, and prompt reporting of any concerns or suspicious activity.
We take all reports and suspicions of modern slavery extremely seriously. Employees, suppliers, and members of the public are encouraged to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices relating to Edgware Florist’s operations. Our reporting channels ensure that all disclosures will be handled sensitively, confidentially, and in accordance with established procedures. We protect whistleblowers and guarantee that no one will suffer repercussions for raising concerns in good faith.
Edgware Florist’s Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our management team to ensure that our policies, practices, and supplier relationships remain robust and effective. We are committed to continuously improving our procedures and adapting to evolving best practices in combating modern slavery. Key lessons learned and developments are communicated across our business to maintain strong vigilance at every level.
As a well-established Edgware florist, we understand the trust placed in us by our local customers—individual households and commercial clients alike. Our strong stance against modern slavery reflects our dedication not only to legal compliance but to our core values of respect, fairness, and community responsibility. We remain resolute in our vigilance and thank our community for supporting a business committed to ethical and transparent operations.
