At Harlington Florist, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our business. We operate with a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted florist serving Harlington’s households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to prevent exploitation and abusive practices within our operations and throughout our supply chain.
Our supply chain is integral to our success and reputation. To safeguard against modern slavery, we undertake rigorous due diligence when selecting suppliers. We aim to build relationships only with those who share our commitment to fair labour practices and ethical sourcing. Potential and current suppliers are required to confirm compliance with applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. Where appropriate, we seek assurances and statements from our suppliers affirming their own efforts to combat forced labour at every level of production.
The foundation of an ethical business starts with an informed team. All staff at Harlington Florist receive tailored training to recognise indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. This educational programme ensures our employees understand the legal definitions, risks, and signs that may point to someone experiencing exploitation. By fostering awareness, we empower our staff to act responsibly and uphold our zero tolerance policy on a daily basis.
In our ongoing fight against modern slavery, creating open channels for reporting any concerns is vital. We encourage all employees, as well as our suppliers and community partners, to raise any suspicions or knowledge of unethical practices confidentially and without fear of reprisal. These channels support the prompt investigation of all reported issues, and we are committed to taking decisive action where any form of modern slavery is identified. Our leadership team oversees these procedures to ensure concerns are appropriately escalated and resolved.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies are subject to annual review, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation or our business. We evaluate the effectiveness of our processes through internal monitoring, dialogue with suppliers, and staff feedback. Each year, we assess risks, identify areas for improvement, and adapt our approach to strengthen our ability to prevent modern slavery. Our goal is to create a transparent and constantly improving framework that protects people across every link of our supply chain.
As Harlington Florist, we are proud to serve our local community with integrity and care. We understand the trust placed in us by local households and businesses, and this statement reflects our commitment to conducting our business ethically and responsibly. We will continue to do our utmost to lead by example, ensuring our flowers and services are delivered free from exploitation, and upholding our duty to respect human rights in every interaction.
