Our Commitment Against Modern Slavery

Modern Slavery Statement

Florist Harold Hill is proud to serve the Harold Hill community, offering floral arrangements to both households and businesses with integrity and trust. As a responsible local florist, we recognise our duty to help combat all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and child exploitation within our operations and throughout our supply chains. This statement sets out the actions and policies we uphold to prevent modern slavery in every part of our business.

Our Zero Tolerance Approach

We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. Florist Harold Hill will not conduct business with any company, supplier, or individual who is found to be involved in such practices. We make it explicit in all our agreements that adhering to ethical and lawful business operations is a non-negotiable requirement.

Supplier Due Diligence

Our responsibility extends beyond our immediate operations. We expect our supply partners—whether they provide flowers, materials, or support services—to uphold the highest ethical standards. Prior to onboarding any supplier, we conduct due diligence checks to verify adherence to anti-slavery policies and local labour laws. Periodic reviews and spot checks of our suppliers help to reinforce our standards and identify any potential risks. If non-compliance is suspected, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, including terminating the business relationship where necessary.

Staff Training and Awareness

All members of our team receive training on how to recognise signs of modern slavery, human trafficking, and unethical labour practices. This training is refreshed annually and tailored to highlight real-life scenarios relevant to our industry. By empowering our staff with knowledge, we help them make ethical choices and serve as vigilant stewards within our business and the wider community.

Reporting Channels

Florist Harold Hill fosters a culture where concerns around modern slavery can be safely raised and addressed. We have established confidential reporting channels for our staff, suppliers, and customers to report any concerns or observations related to unethical practices. Reports are reviewed promptly, and appropriate investigatory and remedial actions are taken.

Annual Statement Review

We understand that combatting modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains robust, practical, and aligned with best practices. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and the wider Harold Hill community informs this review process and helps us raise the standard of our operations year after year.

Our Role in the Community

As a trusted florist serving Harold Hill, we are committed to upholding the confidence of our community. Our actions reflect not only compliance with the law but a deeper commitment to integrity and fair treatment for all. By embedding ethical practices throughout our business and supply chains, we hope not only to protect our own standards but also inspire positive change in the floral industry at large.

This statement represents Florist Harold Hill’s dedication to transparency, ethical trading, and a safe, respectful working environment for everyone connected to our business.
