Florist Holborn Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment

Florist Holborn is committed to playing our part in the eradication of modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms, both within our business operations and throughout our supply chain. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Holborn, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and treat people with respect and dignity.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. This means that we will not knowingly engage with or support any business, supplier, or operative involved in such activities. Our stance is unequivocal: modern slavery of any kind is unacceptable, and we are committed to taking positive action to prevent it within our sphere of influence.

Supplier Due Diligence

Mindful of the risks that can exist within supply chains, Florist Holborn undertakes rigorous checks when selecting suppliers and partners. We require our fresh flower, plant, product, and sundries suppliers to comply with all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. Our due diligence process includes reviewing supplier policies, checking their commitments to ethical labour practices, and reserving the right to conduct spot checks or seek written assurances regarding their compliance. Should evidence of modern slavery arise, we will take decisive action—including terminating contracts where necessary.

Staff Training and Awareness

All Florist Holborn staff, including florists, delivery drivers, and support staff, receive training to help them understand the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes guidance on identifying possible risks in our supply chain and workplace, and clear instructions on how to report any concerns. By building awareness, we empower our employees to play an active role in safeguarding vulnerable individuals and upholding our company’s values.

Reporting Channels

We are committed to fostering an environment where staff, suppliers, and customers feel comfortable reporting suspicions or instances of modern slavery. All concerns will be taken seriously and investigated promptly and confidentially. We have established internal channels to ensure that reports are managed responsibly and sensitively. Any confirmed incident will be addressed in line with our zero tolerance policy, and reported to the appropriate authorities if required.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Florist Holborn reviews this Modern Slavery Statement annually, ensuring its content remains relevant and effective as circumstances and best practices evolve. We update our procedures, training materials, and supplier agreements to reflect new risks and insights, and assess the impact of our efforts regularly. Our ongoing commitment to improvement helps ensure we act not only in compliance with legislation, but also in accordance with the ethical expectations of our staff, suppliers, and the wider Holborn community.
