Kentish Town Florist is committed to conducting our business with integrity, transparency, and respect for all individuals. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Kentish Town and the surrounding areas, we recognise our responsibility to take a proactive approach in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and our supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we are taking to uphold these commitments, in alignment with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and our values as a responsible local business.
Kentish Town Florist maintains a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, and servitude. We will not tolerate slavery or human trafficking in any part of our own operations or in the supply chains we rely on. This fundamental approach is continually communicated to everyone involved in our business, from our team members to our suppliers and associates.
We understand that risks of modern slavery can arise at various points in the flower and plant supply chains. To mitigate these risks, Kentish Town Florist performs due diligence on all existing and new suppliers. Our process includes:
Should any supplier be found to breach our standards or engage in unethical practices, we reserve the right to terminate our relationship immediately.
Kentish Town Florist recognises that ongoing education and vigilance are key to eradicating modern slavery. We provide regular training for our staff to help them recognise the signs of exploitation and to understand their role in maintaining ethical standards. This training covers relevant legislation, the importance of reporting concerns, and the procedures to follow if suspicious activity is identified. All of our employees are encouraged to foster a culture of openness so that any issues can be quickly and properly addressed.
We are dedicated to ensuring that everyone associated with Kentish Town Florist has a safe, confidential, and accessible way to report any suspicions or incidents related to modern slavery. Team members are informed about our internal reporting mechanisms and are encouraged to raise any concerns without fear of retaliation. Additionally, we welcome our suppliers and partners to notify us should they witness or suspect any unethical practices in our extended supply network.
Our approach to addressing modern slavery is dynamic and under continual review. At least once annually, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, procedures, and training. This process allows us to respond to emerging risks, adapt our practices, and set new goals for improvement. Any significant developments or updates to our statement will be reflected in subsequent versions and communicated to all relevant parties.
As a long-established florist in Kentish Town, we value the trust placed in us by local residents and businesses. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is a reflection of the care, respect, and integrity that define our business. We strive to ensure that every bouquet, arrangement, and service we provide is free from exploitation and upholds the highest ethical standards.
This statement is made on behalf of Kentish Town Florist for the financial year ending 2024 and will be reviewed and updated annually as part of our ongoing commitment to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking.
