At Florist Hatch End, we recognise our responsibility in upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in Hatch End, we are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking anywhere within our operations or supply chains. This statement outlines the actions and policies we have in place to address these serious issues.
Florist Hatch End maintains a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking. We are dedicated to acting transparently and with integrity, ensuring that our business and our supply chains remain free from any form of modern slavery.
We carefully select suppliers and partners who share our values and ethical principles. Prior to engagement, suppliers are assessed for their compliance with anti-slavery regulations and wider ethical standards. Ongoing supplier reviews are periodically conducted, and any supplier failing to meet our requirements is removed from our approved list. Our procurement processes require suppliers to confirm their adherence to our standards, and to demonstrate that their own supply chains are also free from modern slavery or exploitation.
Florist Hatch End provides training for all staff to recognise the signs of modern slavery and to understand the importance of taking action if any concerns are identified. This training ensures that our team is equipped with the knowledge needed to support our commitment to eradicating these practices. Induction processes for new employees include guidance on ethical working standards and reporting protocols.
We foster an open and supportive environment, encouraging staff and business partners to report any suspicions or concerns related to modern slavery. Clear channels are in place for confidential disclosures without fear of retribution. All reported incidents are thoroughly investigated, and appropriate action is taken where necessary.
This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it reflects current legislation, best practice, and the standards expected by our customers and the wider community. We remain committed to improving our procedures and to raising awareness within our sphere of influence. Continuous improvement is part of our ethos at Florist Hatch End.
As a longstanding florist rooted in Hatch End, we recognise how trust is central to our relationship with local households and businesses. This statement expresses not only our legal duties but also our moral responsibility to contribute to an ethical, safe, and transparent business environment.
Florist Hatch End will continue to do all we can to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking, working together with staff, suppliers, and our community to ensure the dignity and rights of every individual are upheld.
