At Hendon Florist, we pride ourselves on being a trusted supplier of flowers and arrangements to households and businesses across Hendon. Our enduring commitment to ethical conduct extends beyond exceptional products and services to the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. As such, we adopt a rigorous approach in tackling modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chains.
Hendon Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate, condone, or engage in any practices that constitute slavery, forced labour, servitude, or human trafficking. This approach underpins all company policies, procedures, and operations, as we place the greatest importance on respecting and protecting the rights of every individual involved in our business operations.
To ensure our flowers and supporting products are sourced ethically, we conduct thorough due diligence on all suppliers and service providers. This includes requesting information on their own anti-slavery policies and ethics, checking that they comply with applicable laws, and where appropriate, seeking written confirmation of their commitment to eradicating modern slavery. We routinely monitor supply chain relationships and reserve the right to suspend or terminate agreements with suppliers found to be in breach of our modern slavery requirements.
All staff at Hendon Florist receive training on modern slavery and human trafficking risks relevant to their roles. This training covers recognising warning signs, understanding our policy, and the steps to take when concerns arise. By equipping our team with this knowledge, we empower every employee—whether in sales, management, customer service, or delivery—to contribute actively to upholding our ethical standards both within our shop and beyond.
We encourage everyone at Hendon Florist, as well as third parties working alongside us, to speak out against potential incidences of modern slavery. Our reporting channels are open, accessible, and confidential, enabling staff to discuss concerns directly with management or through anonymous suggestions. Every report is treated with utmost seriousness and is investigated promptly, without fear of retaliation or detriment. We are committed to acting on any concerns raised and taking appropriate corrective action where necessary.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our related procedures are reviewed regularly—at least once annually—to assess their effectiveness, relevance, and compliance with current legislation and best practices. As part of this review, we consider feedback from staff, changes in law, and developments in guidance from relevant authorities. Updates may be made to better address emerging risks or to strengthen our approach.
As a well-respected florist serving the greater Hendon area, our responsibility extends into upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our operations. Our customers, staff, and suppliers trust us to act with integrity and care. By maintaining a robust stance against modern slavery, we aim to foster an environment that respects human rights and sets an example within our local community and industry.
Hendon Florist is fully committed to ensuring modern slavery plays no part in our business or supply chains. We will continue to act responsibly, review our policies regularly, and encourage transparent conversation to combat all forms of exploitation. This statement represents our unwavering dedication to being a business our community can be proud to support.
