Florist Belsize Park is firmly committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses throughout Belsize Park, we recognize our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to eliminate risks and uphold our zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery.
Modern slavery, encompassing slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking, is a crime and fundamental violation of human rights. Florist Belsize Park operates a strict zero tolerance policy against all forms of modern slavery. We expect the same standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any evidence of non-compliance will result in immediate action, including cancelling contracts or reporting to authorities where required.
Supplier relationships are at the heart of our day-to-day operations, from sourcing flowers and materials to purchasing packaging and logistics. We conduct due diligence when bringing new suppliers on board and regularly reassess our existing supplier base. Our due diligence process includes:
We also expect suppliers to cascade our standards further down their own supply chains, fostering a culture of compliance and responsibility.
We provide training to all employees to help them understand the risks of modern slavery, spot warning signs, and know how best to respond if they have concerns. Training is incorporated into the onboarding process for new staff and is refreshed annually for existing team members. In addition, we encourage open dialogue and create a supportive environment where colleagues feel empowered to raise issues related to modern slavery and unethical practices.
Florist Belsize Park maintains clear channels for reporting any instances or suspicions of modern slavery. Staff are encouraged to raise concerns, anonymously if they prefer, without fear of retaliation or reprisal. We thoroughly investigate all reports and act swiftly where violations are substantiated. Our leadership team is responsible for ensuring these policies and channels remain effective and accessible to both employees and suppliers.
This statement undergoes review and, where necessary, is updated every year to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, and our own operations. We are dedicated to continuous improvement, and feedback from staff, customers, and suppliers is welcome and valued. Our annual review covers the effectiveness of our training, supplier assessments, and reporting procedures so we can further strengthen our approach.
As a longstanding florist in Belsize Park, we take our position seriously – both in supporting our local community and upholding the values our customers expect. We know our responsibilities extend beyond beautiful arrangements, reaching into the ethical foundations of our business. By embedding respect for human rights throughout our daily work, we reinforce trust with the households and businesses who choose us.
This Modern Slavery Statement demonstrates Florist Belsize Park’s ongoing commitment to tackling modern slavery, protecting vulnerable individuals, and championing ethical practices in all that we do.
