At Florist Marylebone, we take our responsibility as a trusted local florist serving households and businesses in the Marylebone community extremely seriously. As part of our ongoing commitment to ethical business practices, we are dedicated to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within every aspect of our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out the policies and measures we have adopted to promote transparency and uphold our values.
Florist Marylebone maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, and servitude. We expect all our staff, suppliers, and business partners to share this commitment, and we do not tolerate any practices that undermine the dignity or human rights of any person.
We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any stage of the supply chain. As such, Florist Marylebone adopts a robust supplier vetting process, particularly for those who provide flowers, plants, packaging, and other products. We seek written confirmation from key suppliers that they operate in compliance with anti-slavery laws and ethical standards. Where appropriate, we assess supplier policies and request evidence of their own anti-slavery procedures.
We believe that working closely with reliable and responsible suppliers allows us to offer our customers quality products while ensuring our supply chain remains free from exploitation and abuse.
The education and empowerment of our staff are vital in the fight against modern slavery. All Florist Marylebone team members receive training to help them identify signs of forced labour or exploitation and understand the risks associated with modern slavery in our sector. Staff are encouraged to remain vigilant and are supported in raising any concerns they may encounter in the course of their work.
Maintaining open and effective communication channels forms a key part of our anti-slavery efforts. All staff, suppliers, and other business partners are encouraged to voice concerns related to suspected modern slavery. Reports may be made in confidence through internal communication channels to enable prompt investigation. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and to ensuring that all concerns are examined sensitively and thoroughly, with appropriate action taken in each case.
Florist Marylebone’s commitment to combating modern slavery is reviewed annually. This process considers the effectiveness of existing policies, staff training outcomes, and supplier engagement strategies. Lessons learned from investigations or industry developments are used to refine our procedures and strengthen our approach year after year.
By adhering to these principles, we aim to create a positive impact throughout our operations and supply chain. Our modern slavery statement reflects our wider responsibility as a valued Marylebone florist, serving the community with integrity and respect for human rights. We continually strive to act as a trustworthy partner to local households, businesses, and suppliers alike.
