At Flowers Edgware, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethical conduct and social responsibility. We proudly serve Edgware households and businesses, and we recognise our duty to safeguard human rights in our operations and within our sphere of influence. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in both our floral supply chain and operations.
Flowers Edgware maintains a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We categorically oppose any form of exploitation and seek to embody fairness, dignity, and respect throughout our business practices. Our policy prohibits engagement with any suppliers or partners who contravene these values. We expect all members of our team and those with whom we do business to uphold the same standards of integrity and human rights.
Because floriculture can involve complex, international supply chains, we conduct robust due diligence on suppliers to ensure ethical sourcing of flowers, foliage, and related products. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their employment practices, compliance with applicable laws, and adherence to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act. Suppliers are required to declare that their own practices, and those of their subcontractors, are free from modern slavery and forced labour. Supplier relationships are periodically reviewed to ensure ongoing compliance and transparency.
Our staff members are a vital line of defense in recognising and preventing exploitation within our business and supply chain. We invest in regular training focused on identifying indicators of modern slavery, understanding their responsibilities under relevant legislation, and knowing how to act if exploitation is suspected. By raising awareness, we embed ethical sourcing and respect for workers’ rights within our team culture.
At Flowers Edgware, we are committed to providing clear and confidential reporting channels for any concerns related to potential modern slavery or human trafficking within our business or supply chain. We foster a workplace environment where staff, suppliers, contractors, and stakeholders feel empowered to raise concerns in good faith—without fear of retaliation. All reports are thoroughly investigated and, where appropriate, remedial action is taken.
Our approach to modern slavery is dynamic and responsive. We conduct an annual review of this statement and related policies to ensure they remain effective against evolving risks and best practices. This review involves evaluating supplier performance, staff feedback, and changes to regulations or local context. Where improvements are identified, we are committed to implementing change promptly and transparently.
Flowers Edgware’s position as a trusted florist to local households and businesses means we have a responsibility not only to our customers but to the wider community. Our commitment to combating slavery and human trafficking reflects our values and our belief in supporting a just, ethical, and humane supply chain at every stage of our operations.
We are unwavering in our efforts to address the risks of modern slavery and set high standards for ourselves, our staff, and our suppliers. Through vigilance, open communication, and continuous improvement, Flowers Edgware strives to uphold its ethical responsibilities as a proud and trusted florist in the Edgware community.
