Flowers Tottenham Modern Slavery Statement
Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
At Flowers Tottenham, we believe that everyone deserves to work in an environment free from exploitation, coercion, or abuse. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Tottenham, our responsibility extends beyond delivering beautiful flowers. We are committed to conducting our operations with absolute integrity, ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking play no part in our business or supply chains.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Flowers Tottenham operates under a strict zero tolerance approach towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy is upheld throughout our company operations and extends to all individuals, suppliers, and business partners associated with us. We expect the same unwavering commitment to ethical practices from everyone in our sphere of operation, and any evidence of such unethical behaviour will lead to immediate and decisive action.
Supplier Due Diligence
As a business reliant on a network of local and national suppliers, we take thorough steps to vet each partner for compliance with anti-slavery laws and responsible employment practices. We conduct careful risk assessments and request confirmations from suppliers that their own practices—and those of any subcontractors—are free from slavery, human trafficking, forced, or child labour. If concern arises about a supplier's conduct, we act swiftly to investigate and, when necessary, discontinue the partnership.
Staff Training and Awareness
Recognising the importance of vigilance, Flowers Tottenham provides regular training to all staff. These sessions inform team members about the signs of modern slavery, legislative requirements, and how to respond to potential concerns. By fostering a culture of awareness and responsibility, we empower staff to identify and prevent any unethical activity within our business operations or those of our suppliers.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Creating an open environment is critical to our efforts against modern slavery. Staff and stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicions or incidents, assured that any information provided will be treated in full confidence. We have established clear internal channels for raising concerns and are committed to protecting whistleblowers from retaliation. Prompt investigation and remedial action follow any credible report to ensure an immediate and appropriate response.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
To maintain the effectiveness of our modern slavery prevention measures, Flowers Tottenham reviews this statement each year. We assess our policies, procedures, supplier relationships, and staff training to ensure all activities align with current best practices and legal responsibilities. Should circumstances change or new risks emerge, we adapt our approach accordingly to maintain robust safeguards across our business.
Our Responsibility to the Community
As an established florist serving the Tottenham community, integrity is at the heart of our work. Our approach to modern slavery reflects the trust that households and businesses place in us every day. We remain committed to transparency, ethical sourcing, and continual improvement in our practices, ensuring our customers can have full confidence in choosing Flowers Tottenham for their floral needs.
