Florist Harringay Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment to Combatting Modern Slavery

As a trusted florist serving Harringay's households and businesses, Florist Harringay is dedicated to acting ethically and with integrity in all aspects of our operations. We recognise the serious global issue of modern slavery and human trafficking, and we are fully committed to playing our role in preventing and tackling these abuses within our business operations and our supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take—both internally and externally—to ensure our services reflect the highest possible ethical standards.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Florist Harringay operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not condone, facilitate, or engage in any practices that comprise forced labour, involuntary servitude, or exploitation of any individual. Our zero tolerance extends to all areas of our business and applies to employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners with whom we work. Any breaches of this policy are viewed with utmost seriousness and will be dealt with accordingly, up to and including termination of contracts and/or legal action.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise the importance of ensuring that modern slavery does not exist within our supply chains. As part of our ongoing due diligence, Florist Harringay takes steps to assess and address risks by:

• Evaluating the practices and reputation of new and existing suppliers to ensure compliance with our standards.
• Requiring suppliers to provide assurances that their own operations and supply chains are free of modern slavery and human trafficking.
• Conducting risk assessments periodically, particularly when engaging with suppliers in higher-risk categories or regions.
• Maintaining the right to request further information or conduct site visits where concerns are identified.

We will not knowingly engage with any supplier or partner who does not share our values and commitment to eradicating modern slavery.

Staff Training

We believe that awareness and vigilance are key in the fight against modern slavery. All staff at Florist Harringay receive appropriate training as part of their induction and through regular updates. This training equips our team to:

• Identify signs and risks associated with modern slavery and human trafficking.
• Understand the reporting procedures if they suspect any wrongdoing.
• Recognise the critical importance of ethical behaviour and vigilance in daily operations.

Reporting Channels

Florist Harringay encourages a culture of openness and accountability. Any member of staff, supplier, or customer who has concerns or evidence regarding possible modern slavery can raise these concerns through designated internal channels. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly. There are clear, documented procedures in place to ensure swift response and protection for those making disclosures in good faith.

Annual Review

Our approach to combatting modern slavery is subject to regular review and improvement. We conduct a formal annual review of our statement, associated policies, and practices, to ensure continued effectiveness and compliance with legal and ethical standards. Adjustments or enhancements are made as necessary to address emerging risks or changing circumstances within the industry or our supply chain.

Our Social Responsibility

Florist Harringay considers this statement and our actions as a reflection of our responsibility as a longstanding and trustworthy service provider to the Harringay community. Our ongoing efforts to prevent modern slavery support not just our business integrity, but also the wellbeing of the individuals and organisations we serve, reinforcing our reputation as a respected, community-focused business.
