At Flowers West Harrow, we are firmly committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout West Harrow, we recognise our responsibility to act with integrity and diligence, ensuring our business operations and supply chains remain free from exploitation. This commitment is consistent with our values and community standards, reflecting our genuine care for the individuals, families, and organisations we serve.
Modern slavery—encompassing forced labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking—has no place at Flowers West Harrow. We have a strict zero tolerance policy and are resolute in maintaining high ethical standards throughout all tiers of our operations. Our policy is communicated clearly to employees, suppliers, and partners, reinforcing our unwavering stance against all forms of modern slavery and exploitation.
We recognise the importance of transparency in sourcing our products, from fresh flowers to sundries. Flowers West Harrow undertakes diligent assessments of suppliers and business partners, seeking assurances that they uphold robust practices to prevent forced labour and human trafficking. We prioritise working with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical conduct, ensuring they operate in compliance with international labour standards and local laws.
We reserve the right to audit suppliers, request evidence of their own anti-slavery measures, and, where necessary, terminate relationships with those found to be in breach of our ethical standards.
Ongoing training is provided to all staff members to increase awareness of modern slavery and equip them with the knowledge to identify potential indicators of exploitation in the workplace and supply chain. We ensure that our employees are familiar with the risks and understand their responsibility to report any concerns or suspected instances of modern slavery.
Education on this topic is an essential part of our onboarding process and is regularly reinforced through training sessions and updates, ensuring our team remains vigilant and informed.
We encourage a culture of openness and accountability. All employees, suppliers, and stakeholders are urged to report any suspicion of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Anonymous reporting mechanisms are available, and all disclosures are treated with strict confidentiality. We take every report seriously, investigating promptly and taking appropriate corrective action when necessary.
Flowers West Harrow is dedicated to continual improvement in our approach to preventing modern slavery. We conduct an annual review of our policies, procedures, and supply chain practices to identify risks and implement improvements where required. We also keep abreast of legislative updates and recommended best practices, adapting our measures accordingly.
This annual review process ensures that our efforts remain effective and relevant, underpinning our role as a responsible and trusted local florist striving to protect human rights within our business and the broader community.
As a longstanding presence in West Harrow, we take our social responsibilities seriously. By adopting these robust measures, Flowers West Harrow seeks to guarantee that every customer—whether a household or a local business—can trust our commitment to ethical standards and community well-being. We thank our customers and partners for supporting our vision for a transparent, accountable, and slavery-free business.
