Highbury Flowers recognises our ethical responsibility as a prominent florist serving both households and businesses in Highbury. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and transparency, ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in any part of our business or our supply chains. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to uphold these values and sets out the steps we take to guard against such practices.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery in any form, including forced or compulsory labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour. Highbury Flowers is unequivocally committed to ensuring there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our own operations or within the suppliers and partners we work with. Our leadership team is responsible for ensuring this policy is actively implemented and periodically reviewed.
As part of our approach to identifying and mitigating risk, we carry out due diligence on all our existing and new suppliers. We expect our suppliers to share our values and commitment to preventing modern slavery. Our processes include asking suppliers to confirm their compliance with all relevant laws and regulations concerning modern slavery and labour practices. In addition, we assess our supply chains for potential risks and, where necessary, request further information to verify adherence to ethical standards. Any supplier found not meeting our requirements is subject to remedial action or, if necessary, removal from our supply chain.
We believe that awareness is key to identifying and preventing modern slavery. All staff members at Highbury Flowers are provided with regular training on recognising signs of modern slavery and understanding the procedures for reporting concerns. This training is an essential part of our induction process for new team members and is revisited annually to ensure that all staff remain vigilant and informed.
We have established confidential reporting channels to ensure that employees, suppliers, and stakeholders can raise any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices without fear of retaliation. All reported concerns are treated seriously and investigated thoroughly by our management team. Maintaining a culture of openness and accountability helps us address issues promptly and take necessary corrective action.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to assess its effectiveness and adapt our procedures in line with evolving best practices and legislative requirements. We are committed to continually improving our approach, drawing on guidance from relevant authorities, and engaging with industry initiatives dedicated to eradicating modern slavery.
As a well-respected business in Highbury, providing floral services to local homes and organisations, Highbury Flowers understands the importance of public trust and social responsibility. We are determined to play our part in fostering a fair, ethical, and transparent floral industry. This statement embodies that commitment, ensuring our customers, staff, and communities can be confident in our unwavering stance against modern slavery and human trafficking.
