Islington Flowers is firmly committed to conducting our business responsibly, ethically, and in full compliance with the law. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses in Islington, we recognize our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of integrity and to take active steps to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operation and supply chains.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation. This stance extends to every level of our business and to all our suppliers and business partners. We will not tolerate or condone any form of forced labour, servitude, child labour, or any kind of exploitation in our organisation or those with whom we do business.
Islington Flowers recognises the importance of thorough and ongoing supplier due diligence in the fight against modern slavery. Before engaging with new suppliers, we assess their compliance with anti-slavery principles and require assurances about their own supply chains. This includes requesting relevant documentation, understanding their labour practices, and evaluating their policies. We prioritise suppliers who can demonstrate a clear commitment to ethical conduct and transparency.
Existing supplier relationships are reviewed periodically to ensure continued compliance. Should any evidence of modern slavery or human trafficking arise, we act swiftly to address the issue, which may include suspension or termination of the business relationship.
All members of Islington Flowers, from management to front-line staff, receive training to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking risks. Training sessions equip our team with the knowledge to recognise warning signs, understand company policies, and understand the actions they should take if concerns emerge. We are dedicated to fostering a workplace environment where all staff feel empowered and responsible for contributing to the eradication of modern slavery.
We encourage and empower employees, suppliers, and partners to report any concerns or suspicions about modern slavery. Clear, confidential channels are in place for staff to raise issues safely, without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and appropriate action is taken in line with our policies and legal obligations. We will always support those who in good faith report potential wrongdoing.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to assess our progress, address any emerging risks, and continually improve our practices. We actively seek to enhance our understanding of modern slavery and adapt our procedures where necessary, taking into account feedback from stakeholders, updates to legislation, and evolving best practice in our industry.
Our commitment to preventing modern slavery reflects our values and our responsibility as a trusted Islington florist serving local households and businesses. We believe that ethical trading and respect for human rights underpin long-term trust, the wellbeing of our community, and the sustainable growth of our business. We thank our customers, employees, and partners for supporting our stand against modern slavery and our efforts to create a fair, responsible local supply chain.
