At Flowers Seven Sisters, we firmly uphold the highest ethical standards in every area of our business operations. As a trusted florist serving the Seven Sisters community, we recognize our responsibility to act with integrity and contribute to the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. We are dedicated to ensuring that modern slavery is not present in any part of our supply chain or business activities. This statement outlines our practices and priorities aimed at preventing exploitation, and is reviewed annually to reflect our commitment to continual improvement.
We maintain a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. All employees, suppliers, contractors, and other business partners are required to comply with this policy. Any evidence or suspicion of non-compliance will be taken extremely seriously, with swift action taken to address and rectify the situation, including potential termination of the relationship with the offending party.
Flowers Seven Sisters recognises that the risk of modern slavery can occur at various stages in the floral supply chain. We conduct thorough due diligence when selecting suppliers, prioritising those who demonstrate strong ethical practices and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our supplier approval process includes assessments of labour practices, working conditions, and company policies relevant to modern slavery. We remain vigilant by encouraging transparency and requesting suppliers to evidence their own anti-slavery measures.
Actively monitoring our supplier base enables us to address concerns promptly. Should we have any reason to believe that a supplier is involved in or facilitating modern slavery, we reserve the right to investigate and end the business relationship promptly if necessary.
Our staff are fundamental to ensuring high ethical standards are maintained throughout the business. Flowers Seven Sisters provides regular training to all employees, raising awareness of modern slavery, its risks, and the steps required to identify and prevent it. This training ensures staff can recognise indicators of exploitation either within our own operations or the wider supply chain, and feel empowered to address concerns effectively.
We encourage a culture of openness, honesty, and accountability. Any staff member, supplier, or stakeholder who has concerns regarding potential modern slavery, either within our business or our supply chain, is actively encouraged to raise their concerns. We provide a secure and confidential reporting mechanism, and guarantee that every report will be investigated rigorously and fairly. There are no repercussions for reporting genuine concerns in good faith, and we treat all disclosures with the utmost seriousness and respect.
This Modern Slavery Statement reflects the ongoing responsibility of Flowers Seven Sisters to remain vigilant and proactive. We review the effectiveness of our policy and procedures on an annual basis, taking into consideration legislative updates, best practices, supplier feedback, and staff input. Any areas identified for improvement will be addressed with targeted action, and the statement will be updated to reflect progress and newly implemented measures.
As a long-standing Seven Sisters florist serving local households and businesses, we are committed not only to providing outstanding floral arrangements, but also doing so in a manner that respects and protects human rights. Our actions against modern slavery are part of our promise to the community and our valued customers. Flowers Seven Sisters is dedicated to ethical business as an indispensable part of our role in the neighbourhood.
