Flowers Pentonville recognises the grave global issue of modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted florist serving the Pentonville community, including local households and businesses, we understand our responsibility in promoting ethical business practices. We are committed to combatting all forms of modern slavery in our operations and throughout our supply chains.
We operate with a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This policy applies to our own business practices as well as those of our partners and suppliers. We expect the same high standards of all who work with Flowers Pentonville. Appropriate action is taken where there is suspicion or evidence of non-compliance with these principles.
Understanding the risk posed by the supply chain, we have implemented a rigorous supplier due diligence process. All suppliers are assessed to ensure they operate ethically and lawfully. As part of our process, we request relevant information from suppliers about their employment practices, compliance with modern slavery laws, and their own supply chain assurances. Where necessary, checks and audits are conducted to uphold our standards and address any identified risks.
We believe education is a key tool in preventing modern slavery. All Flowers Pentonville employees receive training to identify the warning signs of modern slavery and forced labour. Staff are advised on the proper protocols if they suspect exploitation within our business or supply chain. This training is refreshed annually and updated whenever there are significant changes in legislation or internal processes.
We have embedded clear and confidential reporting channels for all staff. Any individual who suspects or becomes aware of any form of modern slavery, either within our operation or in the supply chain, is encouraged to report their concerns without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly by management. Appropriate measures are then taken to address and resolve the issue.
Flowers Pentonville is committed to regular review of our Modern Slavery Statement and related practices. Each year, we reassess our policies, supplier relationships, training programs, and reporting channels to ensure they remain robust and effective. We also consider industry best practice and regulatory developments, making necessary adjustments to strengthen our stance against modern slavery.
As a florist with deep roots in the Pentonville community, serving the needs of both households and local businesses, we place great emphasis on upholding ethical responsibilities. Our stance against modern slavery reflects the trust our customers place in us to operate with integrity and social responsibility at all times.
This statement was reviewed and approved by the management of Flowers Pentonville and will be reviewed annually to ensure it continues to reflect our values and legal obligations.
