At Flowers Crouch End, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted local florist providing beautiful arrangements for households and businesses across the community. In doing so, we are committed to conducting our operations lawfully, ethically, and with integrity. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to ensure modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labour have no place within our operations or supply chain.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in all its forms. Everyone at Flowers Crouch End—from our management team to our front-line staff—is expected to uphold this commitment. We will not knowingly engage with or support any supplier, contractor, or partner involved in slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking. This stance is non-negotiable and fundamental to our company values.
Recognising that our ethical responsibility extends beyond our own doors, we conduct thorough due diligence on all suppliers and business partners. Our process includes requesting detailed information regarding each supplier’s own policies, labour practices, and compliance measures regarding modern slavery. We prioritise working with suppliers who are transparent and committed to upholding the same high standards of ethical conduct as we do. Should credible concerns arise, we take prompt action, which may include ceasing relationships with non-compliant partners.
Empowering our people is central to our approach against modern slavery. We deliver regular training sessions for our staff to ensure they understand what modern slavery is, how to spot signs of exploitation, and the ways in which it might manifest within our sector. By raising awareness and building knowledge, we strengthen everyone’s ability to identify suspicious behaviours and escalate concerns appropriately. We foster a culture of vigilance and shared responsibility throughout the business.
We provide clear and confidential channels for our staff, suppliers, and the wider community to report any concerns related to modern slavery. Any individual who suspects wrongdoing is encouraged to bring it to our attention without fear of reprisals. All reports are treated seriously and handled sensitively, with a clear process for investigation and follow-up actions. By ensuring transparency and protection for whistleblowers, we strive to root out unethical practices swiftly and decisively.
This statement, and the policies and practices it underpins, is formally reviewed every year to evaluate its effectiveness. As a business, we are committed to continuous improvement, seeking feedback, monitoring industry developments, and updating our processes accordingly. We believe that remaining vigilant and proactive is essential to maintaining a supply chain free from exploitation and abuse.
As a proud part of the Crouch End community, Flowers Crouch End understands that our reputation depends not just on the quality of our flowers but the integrity of our business. Serving local households and enterprises means we are accountable to our neighbours, customers, and partners. We take this responsibility seriously and will always strive to ensure our business remains a safe and ethical environment for all.
