At Flowers Clerkenwell, we recognise the profound impact that modern slavery and human trafficking can have on individuals, families, and communities. As a trusted florist in Clerkenwell, serving the needs of local households and businesses, we uphold a strict zero tolerance policy for all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, servitude, bonded labour, and human trafficking. We are fully committed to ensuring that our operations and supply chains remain free from any activities which could enable, support, or tolerate such practices, directly or indirectly.
We understand that floristry, like all industries, relies on complex supply chains that may be vulnerable to unethical practices. Flowers Clerkenwell remains vigilant in our supplier selection and ongoing relationships. We conduct thorough due diligence when engaging with suppliers, florists, and service providers. This process includes verifying their commitment to anti-slavery and human trafficking principles, assessing their workplace standards, and ensuring their compliance with relevant labour laws and ethical sourcing standards. Where possible, we request statements or confirmation of ethical practices from our key partners before establishing or renewing agreements.
We believe that building awareness within our team is critical for preventing modern slavery. Flowers Clerkenwell offers training and information sessions to all staff members, ensuring they understand the signs of modern slavery and know how to respond if any concerns arise. Our training programmes are reviewed regularly and updated to reflect legislative changes, industry guidance, and real-world case studies. Employees are also provided with clear protocols for escalating any concerns related to vulnerable persons or unethical supplier behaviour.
To support a culture of openness and accountability, Flowers Clerkenwell maintains straightforward and confidential channels for reporting any suspicions of modern slavery or related unethical conduct. Staff members are actively encouraged to report concerns promptly and without fear of retaliation or negative consequences. All reports are carefully investigated and, where appropriate, passed on to the relevant authorities. We also assure any affected persons that their safety and wellbeing are treated as our highest priorities throughout this process.
We are committed to the ongoing review and improvement of our policies and practices in relation to modern slavery. Flowers Clerkenwell formally reviews the effectiveness of this statement and all related procedures at least once per year. We take into account feedback from staff, supplier audit outcomes, and wider industry developments. Where enhancements or corrective action are needed, we act swiftly to address them and communicate changes to all staff. Our aim is to create lasting, positive impact and set a high standard of ethical practice within the Clerkenwell community.
Protecting human rights and promoting ethical business conduct are fundamental to our identity as a local florist. By embedding anti-slavery practices and maintaining vigilance across all aspects of our operations, Flowers Clerkenwell reaffirms our responsibility to our customers, staff, and business partners alike. We are proud to play our part in building a fairer, safer community and invite our stakeholders to share in this ongoing commitment.
