Florist Hither Green Modern Slavery Statement

Our Zero Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

At Florist Hither Green, we are committed to playing our part in eradicating modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour from our business and supply chains. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Hither Green, we recognise our responsibility to act with integrity and transparency at every stage of our operations. Our zero tolerance policy applies not only to our direct workforce but also extends to every supplier and business partner with whom we collaborate.

Supplier Due Diligence and Responsibility

Our supply chain is carefully managed to ensure compliance with our strict standards for ethics and human rights. We select our suppliers based on a clear understanding of our expectations, making it explicit that we do not tolerate any form of exploitation or abuse. As part of our onboarding process, we require suppliers to confirm their commitment to the principles set out in the Modern Slavery Act and to demonstrate ongoing due diligence within their own operations and supply chains. Regular reviews and open dialogue with suppliers help us monitor compliance and identify any areas of concern.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe that empowering our team with knowledge is crucial in the fight against modern slavery. All Florist Hither Green staff members receive training to recognise the signs of modern slavery, human trafficking, and exploitative practices, both within our business and among our partners. Training sessions are updated as guidance evolves, ensuring our staff remain alert and informed about the tools and processes available to prevent abuse.

Clear and Confidential Reporting Channels

Florist Hither Green encourages a culture where concerns about modern slavery can be reported without fear of recrimination. All employees and stakeholders are made aware of confidential reporting channels to raise any suspicions or evidence of unethical activity, either within our operations or across our supply chain. We take each report seriously and will investigate swiftly, taking appropriate action if any non-compliance or exploitation is identified.

Ongoing Review and Annual Assessment

Our commitment to tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Each year, Florist Hither Green undertakes an annual review of our policies, supplier relationships, and training effectiveness relating to modern slavery and human rights. This review allows us to analyse our performance, make improvements where necessary, and reaffirm our dedication to ethical best practices. By reviewing our approach annually, we strive to stay abreast of developments and continually enhance the standards to which we and our partners are held.

Our Commitment to the Hither Green Community

As a business firmly rooted in the Hither Green community, serving both local households and businesses, we understand the trust placed in us. Our Modern Slavery Statement is not just a policy—it's a reflection of our values and the ethical standards we uphold in every bouquet we create and every partnership we forge. We remain committed to conducting business in a way that protects the dignity and rights of all individuals connected to our work, ensuring Florist Hither Green is a name synonymous with trust, care, and social responsibility.
