Our Commitment to Tackling Modern Slavery

Modern Slavery Statement

At Flowers Tufnell Park, we recognise our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. As a reputable florist proudly serving local households and businesses in the Tufnell Park area, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards across every aspect of our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery within our business and among our suppliers.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We have a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking. We do not condone or tolerate any form of exploitation, whether direct or indirect. Our staff, partners, and suppliers are expected to adhere to the same unwavering standards, ensuring that dignity and respect are embedded throughout our dealings.

Supplier Due Diligence

Flowers Tufnell Park engages with a range of suppliers for our products and services, from growers and wholesalers to logistics partners. We conduct thorough due diligence before establishing new supplier relationships, seeking assurances that their practices comply with anti-slavery laws and best practices. We request relevant information and may conduct checks on suppliers to confirm their commitment against modern slavery. Should any concerns arise, we investigate and take appropriate action—up to and including terminating the business relationship.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe that informed staff are essential in identifying and preventing modern slavery. All team members receive training to recognise the signs of exploitation and understand our policies. This ongoing programme ensures that everyone working at Flowers Tufnell Park is equipped to uphold our ethical values and knows their role in preventing and reporting possible issues.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage our staff, suppliers, and customers to voice any concerns related to slavery or human trafficking within our business or supply chain. Clear and accessible reporting channels are available, and all information received is treated with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality. We ensure that anyone raising a genuine concern will not face retaliation or disadvantage as a result of speaking out. Rapid and thorough investigations are conducted, with corrective measures taken in line with our zero tolerance stance.
