As a highly trusted local florist serving households and businesses throughout Finsbury, we recognise our responsibility to tackle modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. We appreciate the seriousness of these global challenges, and are dedicated to ensuring that all aspects of our operations and supply chains remain free from any exploitation or abuse.

We are committed to fair treatment, respect, and dignity for every individual who contributes to our business, whether directly or through our supply network.

Supplier Due Diligence

Maintaining ethical standards in our supply chain is paramount. We conduct due diligence to assess, monitor, and manage the risk of modern slavery within our supplier relationships. Prior to engaging with new suppliers, we request an understanding of their own labour practices and ethical policies.

We continue to review supplier operations regularly to ensure ongoing adherence to our ethical standards.

This knowledge empowers our staff to responsibly report and respond to any concerns that may arise during their daily work and supplier interactions.

We treat all reports seriously and undertake thorough internal investigations. Where necessary, we are prepared to cooperate with relevant authorities and agencies to address any identified risks or issues.
