Hillingdon Florist is committed to conducting its business ethically, transparently, and with integrity. As a trusted florist serving both local households and businesses in Hillingdon, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement illustrates the steps we take each year to uphold this commitment and maintain the trust of our community.
At Hillingdon Florist, we have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any form of forced labour, child labour, or exploitation—in our business activities or in any part of our supply chain. Our staff, suppliers, and partners are required to share and support these values, which are integral to our reputation as a reputable and responsible business in Hillingdon.
We recognise that our primary exposure to the risk of modern slavery lies within our supply chains. As such, we have implemented a diligent supplier assessment process. We only work with suppliers who demonstrate their adherence to legal and ethical labour practices. We require all suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. Periodic reviews and checks are carried out to ensure continued conformity, and any supplier found to be in breach of our standards faces immediate review and potential termination of our business relationship.
Our team members are trained to identify signs of modern slavery, understand potential risks, and know how to respond appropriately to concerns. By equipping our staff with up-to-date guidance, we ensure vigilance throughout our operations. Ongoing education forms a core part of our strategy to keep modern slavery at bay and to reinforce the importance of ethical conduct at every level of our business.
We actively encourage an open culture in which staff can safely raise concerns about potential instances of modern slavery or unethical practices. Any member of the team or partner can confidentially voice their concerns to the management. All reports are taken seriously, investigated swiftly, and addressed in accordance with our stringent protocols. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation, ensuring a supportive and transparent reporting environment.
This statement is reviewed annually to assess its effectiveness and reflect our ongoing commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking. As our business grows and as risks evolve, we continually update our practices to ensure the highest standards of ethical responsibility. Recommendations and improvements are incorporated as part of our dedication to best practice.
As a florist rooted in the Hillingdon community, our standards reflect the trust placed in us by local households and businesses. Upholding human rights and dignity is not just a legal requirement but a core part of what it means to serve and support our community responsibly. We remain committed to safeguarding every individual impacted by our business, directly or indirectly, and to playing our part in ending all forms of modern slavery.
