Highgate Florist is firmly committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. We maintain a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. As a trusted florist serving the homes and businesses of Highgate, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our operations and supply chains, safeguarding the rights and wellbeing of all individuals involved.
Understanding the risks associated with complex supply chains, Highgate Florist proactively screens and monitors all our suppliers. Before engaging new suppliers, we undertake a thorough due diligence process to assess their compliance with legal and ethical standards, including their own approaches to preventing modern slavery. Suppliers are required to confirm their adherence to applicable laws and our specific expectations concerning labour practices. If non-compliance or concerns are identified, we take appropriate steps to address the issue, which may include corrective action or, where necessary, terminating the business relationship.
To ensure our team upholds our zero tolerance policy, Highgate Florist provides regular training for all staff. This training covers the identification of potential signs of modern slavery, ethical sourcing procedures, and our reporting channels. Staff are also informed of the wider impact of modern slavery, empowering them to act confidently and responsibly. Through education and awareness, we maintain a culture of vigilance and responsiveness towards any potential risks or suspicious activity.
Highgate Florist encourages staff and stakeholders to report any concerns regarding modern slavery or unethical labour practices in our business or supply chain. We provide clear and accessible internal channels for reporting suspicions, guaranteeing that individuals can raise issues confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Every report is treated seriously and investigated promptly. We are committed to taking swift and appropriate action in response to any substantiated complaint.
To ensure the effectiveness of our anti-slavery efforts, this Modern Slavery Statement and all related policies undergo an annual review by our management. We monitor evolving best practices, legal developments, and feedback from staff or stakeholders with the aim of strengthening our controls and due diligence procedures. Any lessons learned inform enhancements to our policy and training, ensuring that our approach remains robust, relevant, and effective.
We recognise that as a florist serving households and businesses across Highgate, our community looks to us not just for beautiful arrangements, but for ethical leadership and trust. Upholding our responsibilities in combating modern slavery protects not only those within our supply chains but also maintains the confidence of our customers, partners, and the public. Highgate Florist will continue to reflect these responsibilities in every aspect of our business as we strive to deliver quality, integrity, and care to our community.
