At Flowers Totteridge, we believe that every individual deserves respect, dignity, and freedom from exploitation. As a trusted florist serving Totteridge households and local businesses, we are resolutely committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all areas of our business. Modern slavery, encompassing slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced labour, has no place in our operations or supply chains. We have adopted a strict zero tolerance policy against all forms of modern slavery, reflecting our enduring responsibility to our customers and community.
Recognising the importance of ethical sourcing, Flowers Totteridge conducts thorough due diligence on all our suppliers. Our procurement processes are designed to identify, assess, and mitigate risks related to modern slavery. We expect all suppliers and business partners to share our values and uphold the same high standards. Prospective suppliers are assessed before engagement, including reviewing their own anti-slavery policies and requesting confirmations of compliance. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier found to violate our ethical standards or the rights of their workers.
Our team plays a vital role in upholding our stance on modern slavery. We provide regular training to all staff members on identifying the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking within our supply chain and workplace. Training sessions include current legislation, reporting mechanisms, and practical guidance on challenging situations. By empowering our employees with the necessary knowledge and resources, we create a vigilant workplace culture committed to combating modern slavery in all its forms.
Flowers Totteridge encourages a culture of openness and transparency. We have clear and accessible channels for reporting any concerns related to modern slavery, whether suspected or factual. Team members can raise issues confidentially without fear of reprisal or discrimination. All concerns are investigated thoroughly and appropriate actions are taken in response. We also encourage customers, contractors, and other individuals connected with our business to report any suspicions of unethical conduct via the same confidential channels.
We regularly review and update our modern slavery policies and procedures to ensure ongoing compliance with legal requirements and best practices. This statement and our supporting processes are subject to annual review, or more frequently if necessary, in light of evolving legal obligations or operational changes. Any necessary improvements are actioned promptly, with accountability at the highest levels of our organisation.
As a Totteridge florist, we recognise the trust placed in us by our neighbours and the wider local community. We are committed not only to delivering beautiful arrangements, but also to conducting our business in a way that respects the rights and freedoms of all individuals in our supply chain. Our modern slavery statement affirms our promise to uphold these values and be a responsible part of Totteridge’s vibrant community.
