Florist West Hampstead is dedicated to the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. Serving the local households and businesses of West Hampstead, we recognise our responsibility to contribute positively to the wider community and uphold human rights. As part of this commitment, we operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in our own operations and throughout our supply chain.
Modern slavery takes many forms, including forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and servitude. At Florist West Hampstead, we do not tolerate any form of exploitation or unethical conduct. We are resolute in our stance that everyone who works for us, either directly or indirectly, deserves to do so freely, safely, and with respect and dignity. This zero tolerance policy is at the core of all our business relationships and practices.
We are acutely aware that our business relies on a complex supply chain, from growers and wholesalers to local service providers. To mitigate risks associated with modern slavery, we conduct regular due diligence assessments before entering into any supplier agreements. This process includes evaluating ethical standards, compliance with anti-slavery laws, and a review of working conditions. We require all our suppliers to confirm their adherence to anti-slavery principles and communicate our expectations clearly at the outset of every partnership. Where possible, we favour working with suppliers who demonstrate active commitment to ethical labour practices.
To help prevent modern slavery within our business and extended network, we deliver thorough training to all team members. This ensures staff can identify indicators of modern slavery, understand their role in reporting concerns, and take action if necessary. Training forms an ongoing part of our staff development and is regularly updated to reflect changes in legislation and emerging best practices.
Florist West Hampstead maintains open, confidential channels for raising concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical conduct. Employees, suppliers, and contractors are encouraged to speak up if they encounter practices that are not aligned with our policies. We take any reports seriously and undertake prompt investigations, ensuring protection from retaliation for individuals who report in good faith. We also review all feedback to strengthen our procedures where necessary.
Our modern slavery policy is reviewed annually to ensure ongoing effectiveness and relevance. We assess the performance of our due diligence activities, training programmes, and reporting mechanisms, implementing improvements wherever we identify gaps or new risks. Updates to our policy are shared transparently with staff and suppliers, reinforcing our collective responsibility to keep modern slavery out of our business and the local community.
Florist West Hampstead is deeply rooted in the community we serve. We believe that our actions set an example for others and have a direct impact on the wellbeing of our neighbours, customers, and industry partners. By upholding the highest ethical standards and actively working against modern slavery, we honour our role as a trusted florist for West Hampstead’s households and businesses.
