Florist Harefield recognises that modern slavery is a serious crime and violation of fundamental human rights, encompassing slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking. As a trusted florist proudly serving the Harefield community, including households and local businesses, we acknowledge our responsibility to prevent modern slavery within our operations and throughout our supply chain.
Florist Harefield maintains a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are unequivocally opposed to all forms of exploitation, forced labour, and child labour. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers, contractors, and business partners, and will not knowingly work with organisations found to be engaging in modern slavery practices.
We thoroughly review and assess our suppliers and service providers to ensure alignment with our ethical values. Before entering supplier relationships, we perform due diligence checks to evaluate their compliance with anti-slavery laws and standards. Where relevant, we review suppliers’ modern slavery statements, seek clarification on their labour practices, and reserve the right to inspect or audit supply chain partners. Any indication of non-compliance results in prompt investigation and, if necessary, discontinuation of the relationship.
Our staff members are essential to identifying and preventing modern slavery. We provide regular training and guidance to ensure our team understands what modern slavery is, how to recognise the warning signs, and what action to take if they suspect it is occurring. Awareness sessions and briefings form part of our ongoing commitment to equipping staff with the necessary confidence and knowledge to uphold our standards.
Florist Harefield encourages anyone within or connected to our organisation to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of our business or supply chain. We have clear internal reporting processes, and issues raised will be addressed confidentially and promptly by management. Whistleblowers are protected and we ensure there are no repercussions for speaking out in good faith. We regularly remind staff of the reporting channels available and foster an open culture in which concerns can be shared without fear.
This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and relevance. The review considers changes in legislation, our supply chain, and best practices in anti-slavery prevention. Amendments will be made as necessary to strengthen our approach and adapt to evolving risks.
As part of the Harefield community, we serve both households and businesses who place their trust in us not only for high-quality floral arrangements, but also for responsible business practices. This statement reflects our dedication to ethical standards and social responsibility, underlining our commitment to operating transparently and with integrity for the benefit of our customers, employees, and wider community.
