Hampstead Florist takes its role as a trusted provider to households and businesses in the Hampstead community seriously. We firmly uphold a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking both within our business and throughout our supply chain. Our commitment stems from a core belief in dignity, respect, and fair treatment for every individual involved in the journey from grower to customer. This statement outlines our ongoing measures to prevent modern slavery and human rights abuses in accordance with our ethical responsibilities.
We acknowledge that supply chains within the floristry industry can be complex and global, often involving multiple intermediaries. To ensure the highest ethical standards, Hampstead Florist conducts careful due diligence on all suppliers and business partners before entering into agreements. We require suppliers to confirm that their own practices and those of their subcontractors meet our standards against modern slavery. We assess the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain, prioritising suppliers and regions where risks may be higher, and seek to work only with those who demonstrate transparency and ethical practices in sourcing and employment.
Our commitment extends to every member of the Hampstead Florist team. All staff receive training on modern slavery risks, recognising indicators of exploitation, and understanding the appropriate course of action should concerns arise. Training ensures that everyone is aware of the ethical standards expected by the business and the significance of their role in upholding those standards. It reinforces our collective responsibility to safeguard human rights within both our own operations and those of our suppliers.
To promote an open and supportive internal culture, we have established secure channels through which staff, suppliers, or any associated parties may raise concerns about possible instances of slavery or human trafficking. All reports are treated with seriousness, discretion, and without fear of reprisal. Management investigates all concerns thoroughly and, where necessary, takes decisive action to address any breaches of our standards. We encourage a proactive approach, recognising the importance of vigilance and speaking up for the welfare of others.
This statement and our related anti-slavery practices are reviewed every year to ensure our approach remains robust, fit for purpose, and aligned with best practices. We reflect on the effectiveness of our policies, staff understanding, supplier compliance, and any reported incidents. Where risks or improvement areas are identified, we adjust our practices to protect vulnerable individuals and further strengthen our stance against modern slavery in all its forms. This annual review process is part of our commitment to continuous ethical improvement and accountability as a respected service provider in Hampstead.
Hampstead Florist recognises that our position in the local community carries the responsibility of ensuring trust, integrity, and social responsibility in all our dealings. By adopting a proactive approach to the prevention of modern slavery, we seek to set an example not just for the industry, but for other businesses that serve the residents and companies of Hampstead. This Modern Slavery Statement symbolises our deep commitment to ethical practice, respect for human rights, and the welfare of every individual throughout our supply chain and working environment.
