At Notting Hill Florist, we recognize the critical importance of ethical business conduct in every area of our operations. As a well-established florist serving local households and businesses, we are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and our supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to ensure that our work is conducted in accordance with the highest standards of integrity and responsibility.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery. This includes forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking, and any exploitation of vulnerable individuals. We do not engage in or condone any practices that compromise the freedom or wellbeing of individuals, whether they are directly employed by us or are part of our wider supply network.
Notting Hill Florist works with a range of suppliers to source flowers, plants, and complementary products. We conduct thorough due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. Suppliers are required to demonstrate compliance with applicable laws relating to slavery and human trafficking wherever they operate. We regularly request documentation and, where appropriate, seek further evidence to ensure compliance. Contracts with suppliers include clear clauses prohibiting modern slavery and ensuring alignment with our values.
We consider it essential that all our staff understand the risks and indicators of modern slavery within the supply chain and the workplace. Practical training is provided to our team, empowering them to identify, prevent, and address potential instances of modern slavery. We encourage open dialogue about ethics, responsibility, and vigilance across all roles within the business. Training materials and awareness sessions are updated and reinforced regularly to ensure all employees remain informed and alert.
Notting Hill Florist maintains a straightforward and confidential process for reporting concerns. Any employee, supplier, or stakeholder who suspects or becomes aware of possible modern slavery or unethical practices is encouraged to report these concerns. We ensure that individuals can come forward without fear of retribution. All reports are promptly investigated and appropriate action is taken where required, including involving relevant authorities if necessary.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed on an annual basis by the senior management team to assess its effectiveness and adapt to evolving legal requirements, best practices, and societal expectations. Our commitment extends beyond annual reviews, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and accountability throughout the organisation and our supply relationships.
As a trusted Notting Hill florist, we acknowledge our broader responsibility to the community we serve. Our customers, whether households or businesses, expect high ethical standards and transparency in how we source and deliver our products. By taking proactive measures to identify and prevent modern slavery, we uphold our promise to operate as a responsible and trusted local business. We remain steadfastly committed to the ongoing eradication of modern slavery in all its forms from our business and supply chain.
