Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment Against Modern Slavery

Florist North Kensington, a trusted provider of floral arrangements and gifts to the local community and businesses, is fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. As part of our responsibility to our customers, staff, and community, we take a firm stance against any form of forced labour, child labour, or human exploitation in our supply chain and business practices.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery. This commitment applies not only to our direct employees, but also to all third-party partners and suppliers. Any evidence or suspicion of modern slavery is acted upon swiftly and decisively, and we will not hesitate to terminate relationships with any supplier or contractor found to be in violation of our policy.

Supplier Due Diligence

Recognising the complexities of the global supply chain, Florist North Kensington implements rigorous due diligence procedures with all suppliers and service providers. Before entering into business with any new supplier, we conduct a thorough assessment of their labour practices and ethical standards. We require suppliers to confirm their own commitment to eliminating modern slavery and to provide evidence of compliance with all relevant laws and ethical standards. Ongoing audits and reviews are conducted to ensure continued adherence to these requirements.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe that proper education is key to identifying and preventing modern slavery. All members of our team receive regular training on identifying the signs of slavery, trafficking, and exploitation, both within our operations and throughout the supply chain. This training is updated annually or as necessary to reflect new risks, regulations, or industry practices.

Reporting Channels

We actively encourage everyone associated with Florist North Kensington, including staff, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders, to report any concerns related to modern slavery. These concerns can be raised through established internal reporting channels, which ensure confidentiality and the protection of whistleblowers. We respond promptly to all reports, conducting thorough investigations and taking corrective action when required.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Our approach to preventing modern slavery is subject to review and continuous improvement. Each year, we undertake a comprehensive review of our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships to ensure their effectiveness. We remain vigilant to emerging risks in the floristry industry and broader supply chains. This annual review allows us to adapt and enhance our practices, ensuring ongoing alignment with legal requirements and ethical best practices.

Our Responsibility to North Kensington

Abiding by these principles is part of our commitment to the North Kensington community. We are proud to serve local households and businesses and recognise our influence in promoting fair and just practices throughout our operations and partnerships. We remain dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards for the benefit and trust of all who rely on Florist North Kensington.
