Flowers Belsize Park stands as a trusted florist for local households and businesses, and we are dedicated to conducting business responsibly with unwavering ethical standards. Our Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility not only as an employer but also as a key member of the Belsize Park community.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour. This commitment applies to everyone working for us, with us, or on our behalf, in any capacity. We expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers, and business partners.
Our commitment extends beyond our direct activities, reaching all those involved in our supply chains. Flowers Belsize Park conducts rigorous due diligence before entering into contracts with suppliers. This includes requests for evidence of anti-slavery and human trafficking policies, auditing for ethical conduct, and ensuring that suppliers meet or exceed statutory obligations regarding labour practices.
Wherever possible, we prefer to work with suppliers who clearly demonstrate shared values, robust employment practices, and respect for human rights. If concerns arise, we investigate thoroughly and take swift remedial action, including the possibility of terminating business relationships if necessary.
All staff are provided with appropriate training to recognise, prevent, and report signs of modern slavery and unethical practices. New and existing employees are regularly updated on our company policy, their personal responsibilities, and the correct procedures to follow should they suspect any breach. We strive to cultivate an open culture where questions and concerns can be expressed freely and acted upon quickly.
Ensuring an effective mechanism for raising concerns is central to our approach. All team members, contractors, and third parties are encouraged to report any suspicions of unethical behaviour or modern slavery in our business or supply chain. We guarantee that reports will be treated with sensitivity and confidentiality. No person will suffer any detriment for raising genuine concerns in good faith. Management investigates each case, taking corrective steps where necessary and reviewing procedures to prevent recurrence.
Flowers Belsize Park is committed to reviewing, evaluating, and improving its strategies to combat modern slavery on an annual basis. We update this statement and related policies every year. The annual review ensures our business continues to operate responsibly and in accordance with best practices, reflecting changes in legislation, risk assessments, and lessons learned from the previous period.
As a dedicated florist in Belsize Park, we hold a position of trust within the community. Our efforts to prevent modern slavery are a core part of maintaining that trust and upholding our responsibility as an ethical local business. We are committed to transparency, accountability, and continual improvement in the way we protect the welfare and rights of people in every facet of our operations.
