As a trusted florist in Canonbury, Flowers Canonbury is dedicated to conducting business responsibly and ethically. We acknowledge the continuing prevalence of modern slavery and human trafficking in global supply chains and take seriously our role in preventing these crimes. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to address and minimise the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain, reflecting our commitment to acting with integrity and upholding our role within the local community of households and businesses we serve.
Flowers Canonbury maintains a zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. We condemn all practices that exploit individuals or their labour and are committed to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our direct business, supply chain, or the broader floral industry. Our policy is communicated to all staff, suppliers, and business partners, leaving no doubt about our standards and expectations.
As part of our procurement process, Flowers Canonbury conducts rigorous due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. We select partners who demonstrate ethical labour practices and compliance with labour laws. Suppliers are required to confirm their own commitment to preventing modern slavery and may be asked to provide evidence of their policies and procedures. We prioritise transparency and reserve the right to conduct site visits or terminate agreements where breaches or concerns about modern slavery practices are identified.
We believe education and awareness are crucial in the fight against modern slavery. All staff receive regular training to help them recognise the signs of exploitation and understand the responsibilities outlined in our anti-slavery policy. Key topics include the definition of modern slavery, risk factors within the flower supply chain, and procedures to follow should a concern be identified. Our goal is to empower all team members with the knowledge and resources needed to safeguard themselves and others.
Flowers Canonbury encourages all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report suspected instances of modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Clear, confidential reporting channels are in place to ensure concerns can be raised safely and appropriately. Every report is taken seriously, investigated promptly, and, where necessary, appropriate action is taken, including notifying relevant authorities and supporting affected individuals. We continually assess and refine our reporting mechanisms to ensure their effectiveness and accessibility for all involved.
Our Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies undergo annual review by management to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness. We strive for continuous improvement by regularly assessing our practices in light of emerging risks, legal developments, and feedback from stakeholders. This process allows us to adapt our approach and strengthen our efforts in combatting modern slavery year on year.
At Flowers Canonbury, we pride ourselves on providing honest, ethical service to the Canonbury community and surrounding areas. We recognise our responsibility not only as a local business but as a participant in global supply chains. Our proactive stance against modern slavery is a core part of how we earn and maintain the trust of the households and businesses we serve. We remain steadfast in our efforts to foster a working environment and supply chain where human rights are respected and protected.
