At Flowers Colindale, we are steadfast in our role as a responsible and trusted florist serving the Colindale community. As a local business providing flowers and floral services to households and businesses, we recognise our duty to lead by example in upholding ethical standards. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains.
Flowers Colindale maintains a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We categorically do not accept, participate in, or condone any practices that exploit individuals for any form of unfair or illegal gain. Our commitment extends to proactively preventing any risk of such activities within our own operations and amongst our suppliers, partners, and contractors.
We acknowledge that the global nature of the floral supply chain can present risks related to modern slavery. To mitigate this, we implement thorough supplier due diligence procedures. All our direct suppliers are required to acknowledge and comply with our anti-slavery expectations as an essential condition of doing business with Flowers Colindale. We aim to work with suppliers who share our values of ethical sourcing and fair employment practices, and we are committed to regularly reviewing and, where necessary, improving our procurement processes.
Our team is at the heart of our business and vital to maintaining our ethical standards. All staff—regardless of their role—receive training to enhance their understanding of modern slavery, including how to identify potential signs and the importance of personal vigilance. This training ensures that everyone at Flowers Colindale is equipped to contribute to our anti-slavery aims and is aware of our policies and reporting channels.
We encourage a culture of openness and accountability. Flowers Colindale provides clear, confidential reporting mechanisms for staff members who may have concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices, whether observed within our operations or those of our suppliers. We take all reports seriously and will investigate all allegations thoroughly, treating complainants with respect and without fear of retaliation.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by Flowers Colindale’s leadership team to assess its effectiveness and ensure it reflects the latest legal requirements and best practices. We value feedback from staff, customers, and suppliers to strengthen our approach and incorporate lessons learned from past experience.
As a florist firmly rooted in the Colindale community, our reputation is built on trust, care, and social responsibility. This statement demonstrates our unwavering commitment to ethical conduct in all areas of our business. Flowers Colindale will continue to work diligently to uphold the highest standards in combating modern slavery and to honour our responsibilities to our customers, employees, suppliers, and community.
