Modern Slavery Statement for Tottenham Florist

Our Commitment to Combatting Modern Slavery

At Tottenham Florist, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of integrity and responsibility in every aspect of our business. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses throughout Tottenham, we understand our duty extends beyond the beautiful floral arrangements we create. We are firmly committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and extended supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Tantamount to our values is a zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Every member of our team, from management to part-time staff, is expected to share in this commitment and adhere to our ethical standards. We do not tolerate any form of exploitation, whether directly within our operations or indirectly through our suppliers and business partners.

Supplier Due Diligence

We procure flowers, sundries, packaging, and other materials from suppliers that share our dedication to ethical business practices. As part of our due diligence, we conduct risk assessments of both new and existing suppliers, focusing on countries, sectors, and individual businesses where the risks of modern slavery may exist. Our supplier vetting process includes obtaining written confirmations that they comply with all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation. Regular reviews are carried out to ensure ongoing compliance and to address any emerging risks or concerns.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe awareness is a vital tool in the fight against modern slavery. All Tottenham Florist staff receive training to help them understand the signs of modern slavery and how to respond appropriately. Training sessions are incorporated into our onboarding process and revisited as needed to reflect new guidance, legal requirements, or changes within our supply chain. We encourage our staff to remain vigilant, ask questions, and take responsibility for upholding our standards.

Reporting Channels

Tottenham Florist maintains clear, confidential reporting channels for any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery or human trafficking. Any staff member, supplier, or third party can raise genuine concerns without fear of retaliation. We are committed to investigating all reports thoroughly and taking decisive action where required. Our commitment to transparency ensures that anyone who raises concerns is listened to and protected.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to ongoing review and is formally assessed on at least an annual basis. The review ensures our policies, procedures, and practices remain effective and up-to-date in preventing and combatting modern slavery. Where improvement opportunities are identified, Tottenham Florist takes proactive measures to strengthen our existing controls, further develop our staff, and influence best practices within our network of suppliers.

Our Responsibility as a Community Florist

We take our role seriously as a community-focused florist serving families, individuals, and businesses across Tottenham. Our Modern Slavery Statement is a reflection of our values and ongoing responsibility to ensure ethical practices underpin every part of our operations. We thank our staff, suppliers, and customers for supporting our commitment to eradicate modern slavery and create a safer, fairer supply chain for everyone.
