As a respected and trusted florist in Harrow, Harrow Florist recognises its responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards, both within our business and throughout our supply chain. Modern slavery, including human trafficking and forced labour, is a heinous crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. At Harrow Florist, we are committed to acting with integrity and transparency, ensuring that modern slavery has no place in any aspect of our operations.
Harrow Florist enforces a strict zero tolerance policy regarding all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This stance applies unequivocally to our own team as well as to all suppliers, contractors, and business partners. We stand firmly against exploitation and are proactive in ensuring that our values are shared by those with whom we do business. Where we have reasonable cause for concern, we take decisive action, including the review or termination of business relationships where appropriate.
As an integral part of the Harrow community, our duty extends to the careful selection and oversight of our suppliers. We conduct rigorous due diligence before establishing new supplier relationships, examining policies, practices, and records to ensure compliance with anti-slavery standards. Existing suppliers are regularly reviewed for risk factors, with priority scrutiny given to those operating in sectors or countries with a higher risk of labour exploitation. We expect all our suppliers to sign up to our supplier code of conduct and to cooperate fully in our ongoing monitoring.
We believe vigilance among our own staff is a vital line of defence against modern slavery. All team members receive comprehensive training to understand the signs of exploitation and forced labour and are informed about our reporting processes. Training is regularly updated to reflect latest guidance and best practice. We create a working environment where ethical behaviour is expected, and where staff feel empowered to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.
Harrow Florist has clear and accessible channels for reporting any concerns about modern slavery or unethical conduct, whether such concerns relate to our business or to our suppliers. Staff are encouraged to report issues in confidence to management, assured that any disclosures will be taken seriously and handled sensitively. We do not tolerate victimisation of those who report concerns in good faith.
We review this Modern Slavery Statement annually to ensure that our approach remains robust, relevant, and responsive to evolving risks and practices. This review process includes analysing feedback, incidents, and changes in legal requirements. Where appropriate, we update policies, strengthen supplier checks, and enhance training to improve our prevention and response strategies.
As a florist providing trusted services to Harrow households and businesses, we understand the importance of maintaining the confidence placed in us by our community. Our approach to combatting modern slavery reflects not just compliance with the law, but our deep commitment to fairness, respect, and ethical conduct. Thank you for supporting a business that takes these responsibilities seriously as we continue our dedication to the welfare of all people connected to our flowers, our staff, and the wider community we are proud to serve.
