Barnsbury Florist recognises the ongoing and global issue of modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout the Barnsbury community, we firmly believe in upholding ethical, fair, and lawful practices at every level of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains.
Barnsbury Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and expect the same high standards from everyone associated with our business, including suppliers, sub-contractors, and business partners. Any breach of this policy is taken very seriously and will result in immediate review and appropriate action.
We understand that our supply chain is a critical area of risk. As such, Barnsbury Florist has implemented a robust due diligence process to assess, evaluate, and monitor potential risks of modern slavery within our supply chain. All prospective and existing suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with relevant laws and do not engage in or facilitate forced, bonded, or involuntary labour. Where appropriate, we request evidence of compliance and regularly review supplier practices to ensure ongoing adherence to our values and legal requirements.
Our staff are key to identifying and preventing exploitation. Barnsbury Florist provides comprehensive training to employees, ensuring they understand what modern slavery is, how it may manifest, and the signs to look for. Training is refreshed regularly and integrated as part of our onboarding process for new team members. By equipping our staff with knowledge and awareness, we foster a vigilant culture where unethical practices have no place.
We encourage all staff, suppliers, and customers to raise any concerns relating to modern slavery directly with management. All reports are treated seriously and investigated thoroughly in a confidential and supportive manner. Our open reporting channels are essential for the early detection and prevention of unethical practices. Retaliation against anybody raising genuine concerns is strictly prohibited.
Barnsbury Florist is committed to continuously improving our approach to combating modern slavery. This statement and our procedures are reviewed annually to reflect current best practices, legislative updates, and any lessons learned through our due diligence and reporting activities. By regularly monitoring our performance, we ensure that our commitment to ethical conduct remains robust and effective.
Operating from the heart of Barnsbury, we recognise our duty to set high standards and protect the rights and welfare of all people connected to our business and supply chain. As a valued and trusted service provider to local households and businesses, Barnsbury Florist is resolute in our pledge to prevent any form of modern slavery, ensuring our floristry is built on dignity, respect, and integrity.
