Canonbury Florist is dedicated to promoting ethical and transparent business practices across all aspects of our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the Canonbury community, we recognise our responsibility to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our own business and through our supply chains. We are committed to ensuring that slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking have no place in our business or that of our suppliers.
Canonbury Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. All staff, suppliers, contractors, and partners are expected to uphold this commitment. We clearly communicate our policy both internally and externally, making it clear that we will not knowingly work with any party who engages in or condones such practices. If evidence of modern slavery or trafficking is discovered, we will take immediate and decisive action, which may include severing business relationships.
We work closely with our supply chain partners to ensure ethical sourcing of flowers, plants, and all related products. As part of our due diligence process, we seek assurances from our suppliers and request information about their own policies and practices regarding labour rights and ethical conduct. Where possible, we prioritise working with suppliers who share our values and demonstrate robust commitments to preventing exploitation. This includes reviewing contracts, conducting discussions with suppliers, and checking compliance with relevant laws and international standards.
Education is essential in addressing modern slavery risks. We provide training and guidance to all our staff, raising awareness of the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. This training covers how to identify potential warning signs, our internal policies, and what actions to take if concerns arise. By equipping our team with this knowledge, we empower them to take an active role in maintaining our ethical standards and creating a safe workplace.
Canonbury Florist encourages all employees, suppliers, and contractors to raise any concerns they may have regarding modern slavery or unethical practices. Internal channels are available for confidential reporting, and we regularly remind our team of these resources. Any reported concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and appropriate action is taken. By facilitating open communication, we help create a culture of transparency and accountability.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure its relevance and effectiveness. We monitor developments in legislation and industry best practice, updating our policies and due diligence processes as necessary. Continuous improvement is a core value of our business, and we strive to enhance our efforts in combating modern slavery with each review cycle. We are always seeking better ways to support the wellbeing of people in our business and supply chain.
As a local florist, Canonbury Florist recognises that our actions impact the community we serve. Upholding ethical business practices not only fulfils our legal and moral responsibilities but also reinforces the trust placed in us by local households and businesses. We are devoted to maintaining high standards of integrity and to being a force for positive change within our industry.
