Flowers Cricklewood is committed to playing an active role in the global fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses throughout Cricklewood, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards not only within our own operations but also across our supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we are taking to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking do not occur in any part of our business or supply networks.
We operate under a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We are unequivocal in rejecting any form of forced labour, child labour, servitude or exploitation, and expect the same commitment from all who work with us or on our behalf. Our policies are regularly communicated to all staff, suppliers, and other business partners to reinforce this clear stance.
Flowers Cricklewood works with a network of reputable suppliers to source high-quality blooms and products for our customers. We undertake rigorous due diligence before partnering with any new supplier. This process includes vetting their employment practices, assessing their written commitments to anti-slavery standards, and seeking assurances of compliance with relevant laws and ethical codes. Periodic reviews and audits are conducted to monitor ongoing compliance, and relationships may be terminated if suppliers are found to breach our standards on modern slavery.
We believe that well-informed employees are essential in maintaining our vigilance against modern slavery. All Flowers Cricklewood staff receive training to identify signs of modern slavery and understand the appropriate actions to take if they suspect unethical labour practices. Training modules are updated annually and reflect current legislation, industry guidance, and best practices in ethical sourcing and employment standards.
We actively encourage our staff, suppliers, and anyone associated with Flowers Cricklewood to raise any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical practices in complete confidence. Robust reporting channels are in place, enabling concerns to be reported without fear of reprisal. Every report is taken seriously and investigated promptly. Employees are regularly reminded of their responsibility to be vigilant and the procedures for making a report are clearly communicated as part of our company culture.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed on an annual basis by Flowers Cricklewood’s management team to ensure our practices remain effective and up to date with legislative developments. We are committed to continual improvement and will refine our systems and processes as necessary to strengthen our commitment to eradicating modern slavery. Feedback from our colleagues, suppliers, and customers is welcomed and forms a vital part of our approach to addressing this important issue.
As a long-standing florist serving Cricklewood’s households and businesses, we understand the importance of acting with integrity and responsibility. Our actions reflect our commitment not only to international legal requirements, but also to the well-being of the local community we proudly serve. We remain steadfast in our dedication to promoting fairness, transparency, and respect for human rights at every level of our business and supply chains.
