West Hampstead Flowers is steadfastly committed to operating within the highest ethical standards. We recognise that modern slavery, in all its forms – including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation – is a grave violation of basic human rights. We maintain a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, ensuring that it has no place in any part of our business or supply chains. Our commitment reflects our responsibility as a trusted West Hampstead florist serving households and businesses in our local community.
As a business that sources products, materials, and services from various suppliers, we actively conduct rigorous due diligence when forming and maintaining relationships with suppliers. We seek assurance that every supplier upholds ethical employment practices and does not participate in, or condone, any form of modern slavery or exploitation. Documentation, declarations, and, where necessary, audits are essential components of our supplier evaluation process. We expect our partners to share our zero tolerance stance and to proactively monitor their own supply chains for any risk of modern slavery.
Empowering our staff is vital in ensuring that anti-slavery measures are upheld daily. West Hampstead Flowers provides regular training and guidance, equipping every team member – whether front-of-house or behind the scenes – with the knowledge to recognise, address, and report potential warning signs of modern slavery. Training sessions cover awareness of issues related to labour rights, spotting unethical practices, and understanding our policies.
We have implemented straightforward, confidential channels for staff, suppliers, and members of the public to report any suspicions or concerns related to modern slavery within our operations or supply chain. All reports are investigated promptly and thoroughly. We ensure that anyone who raises concerns is protected from retaliation and that allegations are addressed decisively and confidentially.
Our Modern Slavery Statement is more than a declaration; it is a living document that guides our practices. We conduct an annual review to assess the effectiveness of our policies, response mechanisms, and due diligence processes. If issues or risks come to light, we are prepared to enhance our controls and provide updated training for staff. We also monitor legal and best practice developments to ensure our approach remains robust and current.
As a trusted florist in West Hampstead, we acknowledge our responsibilities extend beyond beautiful arrangements and reliable service. Upholding human rights and ethical values is integral to who we are and how we serve our neighbours, local businesses, and organisations. We thank our team, suppliers, and customers for their shared commitment to a fair and just community.
This statement will be reviewed and refreshed annually to reflect our ongoing commitment to eradicating modern slavery in all its forms.
