As a proud and established florist in the heart of Chalk Farm, we at Chalk Farm Florist are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our business operations. We recognise that modern slavery—including slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking—continues to pose significant issues globally. This statement outlines the measures and controls we have in place to ensure that none of these practices has a place within our business or among those we work with.
Chalk Farm Florist enforces a strict zero tolerance policy when it comes to modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept any form of exploitation in our direct operations or within our supply chain. This unambiguous stance applies to all team members, contractors, and partners, regardless of their role or location. Any breach of this policy is regarded as a serious offence and will result in immediate action, including reporting to appropriate authorities as necessary.
We take active steps to ensure that all our suppliers and business partners uphold similar ethical values. As part of our due diligence process, we conduct ongoing assessments of new and existing suppliers, requiring them to confirm adherence to anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. Where possible, our procurement team demands written assurances, conducts periodic reviews, and maintains open communication with our suppliers to ensure transparency at every stage of our supply chain. Should concerns arise, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate our relationship with any supplier found not to comply.
Recognising the importance of awareness, we provide targeted staff training to help our team identify signs of modern slavery and understand the steps to take if they suspect wrongdoing. Our training includes guidance on recognising high-risk situations, understanding reporting protocols, and appreciating the impact of modern slavery within our industry. By fostering a knowledgeable, vigilant workforce, we strengthen our ability to prevent exploitation both within our business and throughout our supply chain.
We encourage all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to raise any concerns regarding potential breaches of our anti-slavery policy, knowing these will be taken seriously and investigated fully. Our internal processes include clearly defined channels for confidential reporting and escalation, ensuring individuals feel safe and supported when voicing suspicions or grievances. Any reports received are handled sensitively, with steps taken to protect whistleblowers from retaliation or disadvantage.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness. Our management team evaluates the procedures, training, and outcomes from previous years, seeking opportunities to strengthen our controls and respond to emerging risks. Regular reviews ensure Chalk Farm Florist remains proactive in combatting modern slavery and promoting ethical practices in our community and industry.
As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in Chalk Farm, we believe that tackling modern slavery is not just a legal requirement, but a moral responsibility. This statement represents our ongoing commitment to transparency, ethical conduct, and the well-being of everyone connected to our work. Through vigilance, education, and open collaboration with our partners, we strive to play our part in building a safer, fairer community for all.
