As a trusted florist serving Highgate’s households and businesses, Florist Highgate is dedicated to upholding ethical standards and human rights in every aspect of our operations. We recognise our responsibility to combat all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, both within our business and across our supply chains. This statement details the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery, reflecting our duty to our customers and the wider Highgate community.
Florist Highgate operates a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to conducting all business with integrity and fairness, rejecting any practices that exploit or abuse vulnerable individuals. Our policy applies to all employees, suppliers, contractors, and business partners associated with Florist Highgate.
We understand that our responsibility extends beyond our immediate business to those who supply us with goods and services. Florist Highgate conducts thorough due diligence before establishing new relationships with suppliers. This process includes requiring confirmation from suppliers regarding their own compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws, as well as their adoption of ethical labor practices.
Regular assessments are carried out to ensure ongoing compliance. We will not hesitate to discontinue our relationship with any supplier who fails to meet our ethical standards or is found to be involved in any form of modern slavery.
Our team is central to our efforts to prevent modern slavery. All employees receive training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, both within our business and in wider supply chains. This training is updated regularly, ensuring our staff remain aware of their responsibilities and understand the appropriate steps to take if they identify any concerns.
Florist Highgate encourages a culture of openness and accountability. We have established accessible internal reporting channels, enabling employees and supply chain partners to raise any concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices in confidence, without fear of reprisal. All reported concerns are treated with the utmost seriousness and are investigated promptly by senior management. We are committed to taking appropriate action, including reporting to the relevant authorities where necessary.
Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is an ongoing priority. This statement, together with our policies and procedures, is reviewed at least annually to ensure its continued effectiveness. We monitor changes in legislation, best practices, and community expectations, adapting our approach wherever necessary. Our goal is to continually strengthen our ability to identify and mitigate risks associated with modern slavery and human trafficking.
As a longstanding florist serving the Highgate community, we acknowledge the trust placed in us by our customers. Our approach to preventing modern slavery is not only a legal and moral imperative, but a reflection of our commitment to ethical responsibility and care. Florist Highgate remains dedicated to playing a proactive role in preserving human dignity and ensuring our business practices positively impact our local neighbourhood, as well as the wider world.
