At Flowers Brent Cross, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity throughout every aspect of our business operations. As a trusted florist serving the Brent Cross community—supporting local households and businesses alike—we recognise our vital responsibility to eliminate risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within both our organisation and supply chains.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, servitude, or human trafficking. No employee, supplier, or business partner is permitted to engage in practices that contravene the Modern Slavery Act 2015 or our own strong internal policies. Any breach of these principles by employees or third-party partners will prompt immediate investigation and corrective action.
Flowers Brent Cross is committed to working only with reputable suppliers who share our dedication to ethical trading. We conduct thorough due diligence of all new and existing suppliers to assess their labour practices and confirm compliance with both legal requirements and our standards. Key checks involve requesting information about suppliers’ own anti-slavery policies, employment procedures, and workforce conditions. Where required, we further review supplier declarations and, where appropriate, carry out additional audits, especially for high-risk sectors or geographies.
Ensuring that our team members are informed and vigilant is crucial in our fight against modern slavery. We deliver regular training sessions for staff at all levels, designed to improve understanding of modern slavery risks, recognise warning signs, and reinforce the importance of ethical behaviour. These programs empower staff to identify situations of concern and understand how to escalate such issues safely and appropriately.
Flowers Brent Cross encourages all employees, suppliers, and customers to report any suspicions or incidents related to modern slavery or unethical conduct. We have established secure and confidential reporting mechanisms so that concerns can be raised without fear of reprisal. Every report will be logged, assessed, and investigated thoroughly. The safeguarding of whistleblowers and swift response to all allegations underline our commitment to transparency and accountability.
To maintain the highest ethical standards, this Modern Slavery Statement and our supporting policies are reviewed annually by senior management. We evaluate the effectiveness of our controls, update staff training as needed, and adapt our due diligence processes to reflect evolving risks and best practices. Feedback from staff, customers, and partner organisations informs these updates, ensuring our approach remains robust and relevant.
As a cornerstone of the Brent Cross community, serving both residents and businesses, Flowers Brent Cross understands the trust placed in us. Demonstrating respect for human rights and ensuring an ethical supply chain are central to our values. We believe that a beautiful bouquet must not come at the cost of another person's freedom or dignity. Through diligence and ongoing commitment, we strive to deliver both satisfaction and peace of mind to everyone we serve.
