At Flowers Chalk Farm, we firmly acknowledge our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. As a trusted florist supporting households and businesses throughout the Chalk Farm community, we are committed to ensuring that all members of our supply chain and workforce are treated with dignity and respect. This statement outlines the steps we are taking to uphold that commitment and supports our dedication to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships.
We operate a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. This principle underpins everything we do, from sourcing fresh flowers to the delivery of our floral arrangements. We expect the same unwavering commitment from our suppliers and business partners, and we will not engage with any organisation or individual that is found to be in breach of anti-slavery principles.
Flowers Chalk Farm recognises that floral supply chains, including domestic and international growers, can be complex and sometimes present risks of unethical practices. To mitigate these risks, we undertake thorough due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers. Our process involves:
All Flowers Chalk Farm staff, regardless of role or seniority, receive guidance and training to help them recognise signs of modern slavery and understand our expectations. This equips our team to identify potential risks within both our own operations and wider supply chain. We reinforce the importance of maintaining vigilance and encourage continuous improvement in our practices.
We promote an open culture where concerns related to modern slavery can be raised freely, and we ensure that all reports are taken seriously. Staff, suppliers, and members of the public may report concerns through company-designated channels. All reports are treated in strict confidence and reviewed thoroughly. Protecting those who speak up is a priority, and we do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation of any kind.
This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure it reflects current laws, best practices, and operational realities. Each year, we evaluate our progress and make recommendations for improvement, adjusting our due diligence, training, and response mechanisms as necessary. We remain committed to continual improvement in identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery risks.
As a local Chalk Farm florist, we recognise our role in setting high ethical standards within our community. Our robust approach to modern slavery reflects our desire to foster trust among local households and businesses who rely on us. We are dedicated to doing our part to eradicate modern slavery and uphold the values of fairness, dignity, and respect that are central to our business.
