Modern Slavery Statement – Florist Brondesbury

Our Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery

At Florist Brondesbury, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards as a trusted provider of beautiful floral arrangements to households and businesses throughout Brondesbury. Our responsibility extends beyond delivering exceptional customer service and quality products—we are dedicated to playing our part in eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from our business and wider supply chain.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Florist Brondesbury upholds a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation in any form. We expect the same unwavering commitment from all those with whom we do business—our suppliers, contractors, and service providers. Should an occurrence of modern slavery be detected within our operations or supply chain, we will take immediate action to address and remediate the situation in line with UK legislation.

Supplier Due Diligence and Responsible Sourcing

As a florist, our supply chain includes growers, wholesalers, logistics partners, and service providers, both locally and internationally. We are acutely aware that some sectors—and countries—may be at greater risk of modern slavery practices. We conduct thorough due diligence on all new and existing suppliers where we:

• Assess the risk of modern slavery within their business and sourcing locations
• Require suppliers to provide assurances on their own modern slavery policies and practices
• Review supplier adherence to ethical trading standards and compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015
• Promote transparency, monitoring, and continuous improvement through ongoing engagement

Staff Training and Awareness

Our employees are fundamental to our efforts in combatting modern slavery. To this end, we provide regular training to all team members, ensuring they are able to:

• Understand the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking
• Recognise risk factors within our supply chain and daily operations
• Make informed, ethical decisions when sourcing products and selecting suppliers
• Follow internal escalation and reporting processes if any concerns arise

Reporting Channels and Protecting Whistleblowers

Florist Brondesbury is committed to maintaining open communication and a culture in which staff, suppliers, and stakeholders can safely raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices without fear of reprisal. We encourage all concerns—however small—to be reported promptly through established internal channels. Each concern will be treated seriously, investigated with confidentiality, and appropriate remedial action will be taken wherever necessary. The wellbeing and protection of all whistleblowers is our priority.

Annual Statement Review and Continuous Improvement

We understand that addressing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Florist Brondesbury reviews this statement and our procedures every year, adapting our approach in light of regulatory updates, operational changes, and lessons learned. These efforts are fundamental to our ongoing mission to embed ethical practices throughout our business and supply chain.

Reflecting Our Responsibility to the Brondesbury Community

As a local florist, we know our customers trust us not only with their important occasions but also to act responsibly and ethically. This Modern Slavery Statement demonstrates our ongoing pledge to act with integrity, protect human rights, and foster transparency—values that underpin every bouquet we craft for Brondesbury households and businesses.
