At Harrow on the Hill Florist, we are deeply committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings. Serving the households and businesses of Harrow on the Hill, it is our responsibility as a trusted local florist to ensure that modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation, has no place within our organisation or supply chains.
Harrow on the Hill Florist operates a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery in any form. We do not condone or permit slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking in any part of our business or our supply chains. Our strict policies apply to all staff, suppliers, and contractors to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct.
We recognise that our supply chain comprises local growers, national wholesalers, and a variety of service providers. As such, we expect all our suppliers to share our commitment to tackling modern slavery. Our due diligence process involves assessing potential and existing suppliers for risks related to modern slavery, including reviewing their own policies and practices and seeking information about their ethical standards. We reserve the right to terminate relationships where suppliers are found not to uphold these principles.
We believe that empowering our staff is vital in identifying and reporting signs of modern slavery. All staff members receive training to gain an understanding of modern slavery risks related to our sector and supply chains. Training covers how to spot potential indicators of exploitation and the importance of maintaining vigilance at all stages of our work — from sourcing flowers to delivering arrangements to our customers.
Harrow on the Hill Florist encourages all staff, suppliers, and customers to report any suspicion of modern slavery or unethical practice. Our reporting channels are straightforward and strictly confidential, enabling concerns to be raised without fear of discrimination or reprisal. All information received is promptly and thoroughly investigated, with appropriate actions taken in response to any findings.
To ensure our Modern Slavery Statement remains effective and aligned with best practices, we review our policy and procedures annually. As part of this review, we monitor emerging risks, assess the effectiveness of our training and due diligence, and incorporate feedback from staff and stakeholders. Where required, we make improvements and adjustments to strengthen our approach.
As a florist at the heart of Harrow on the Hill, serving both private and corporate clients, we understand the importance of earning and maintaining the trust of our community. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our core values and underlines our dedication to upholding human rights, social responsibility, and ethical business. By making this commitment public, we aim to assure our customers, colleagues, and partners that we are resolute in our fight against modern slavery in all its forms.
