As a long-standing florist in Edgware, serving local households and businesses, Edgware Flowers takes its responsibilities seriously in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. We are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we have undertaken during the last financial year to ensure that slavery and human trafficking do not take place within our business or across our supply chains.
At Edgware Flowers, we have a zero-tolerance approach towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. We are committed to operating honestly, transparently, and with full respect for human rights. This principle underpins our business and represents our ongoing pledge to our clients, suppliers, and staff.
We recognise that our suppliers play a crucial role within our business, and we expect them to share our opposition to modern slavery. All new and existing suppliers are subject to a robust due diligence process to assess their compliance with anti-slavery standards. This process includes risk assessments, reviewing their operations, and seeking information on their own policies relating to modern slavery and ethical trading.
We continuously monitor and review our supplier relationships and, where necessary, seek written confirmation from suppliers that they comply with applicable anti-slavery laws. Should any supplier be found to be in breach of such standards, we reserve the right to terminate our relationship with immediate effect.
Empowering our staff is vital in our fight against modern slavery. As part of our induction programme, employees are educated about what constitutes modern slavery and how it can occur in the floristry supply chain. Ongoing training initiatives are in place to raise awareness among all team members and ensure they remain vigilant to the risks and signs of exploitation, whether present internally or among our suppliers.
Edgware Flowers is committed to providing safe and accessible channels for staff and the wider community to raise any concerns related to modern slavery. We encourage all team members to report suspicions or evidence of unethical behaviour without fear of retaliation. All reported concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly, ensuring that appropriate action is taken where required.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to evaluate the effectiveness of our practices, address any emerging risks, and identify opportunities for improvement. We remain dedicated to strengthening our prevention measures and deepening our understanding of good practice in this area.
As a trusted florist in Edgware, we know our duty to our community extends beyond quality products and outstanding service. By maintaining rigorous standards around modern slavery, we strive to act responsibly, support ethical supply chains, and do our part in fostering a safe and fair society within both our local area and wider industry.
