Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

As a trusted florist serving the Kensal Green community, Kensal Green Florist recognises our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our business. We are dedicated to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or in any part of our supply chain. We are committed to promoting a fair, transparent, and responsible working environment, reflecting our values as a service provider to local households and businesses.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Kensal Green Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. This stance applies to our own workforce as well as all relationships with suppliers and business partners. Any suspicion or confirmation of such practices triggers immediate action to remedy and prevent further occurrences.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise that our commitment extends beyond our direct business and into our supply chain. In our sourcing and procurement, we conduct thorough due diligence on all suppliers. This process includes seeking information regarding compliance with anti-slavery laws, evaluating labour practices, and expecting our suppliers to uphold the same high standards. Where possible, we obtain written assurances that suppliers and their subcontractors do not engage in any form of slavery or forced labour.

If we identify any supplier that does not meet our standards, we reserve the right to review, suspend, or terminate our relationship with them until corrective actions are taken and verified.

Staff Training and Awareness

Staff awareness and education are critical to our modern slavery prevention efforts. We provide training to all employees, so they understand how to recognise the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. Training covers risk factors, reporting mechanisms, and our internal policies, empowering everyone at Kensal Green Florist to be vigilant and proactive in upholding our values.

Reporting Channels

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and local partners to raise any concerns about suspected modern slavery, breaches of policy, or unethical practices without fear of reprisal. Clear internal channels are in place for confidential reporting, and every report is taken seriously and investigated promptly. Our management team is committed to ensuring that all concerns receive appropriate action and follow-up.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and our associated policies are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and aligned with our values and legal obligations. We evaluate our procedures, supply chain management, and staff training regularly, striving for continuous improvement. We remain responsive to developments in legislation and best practices in tackling modern slavery.

Our Responsibility to the Kensal Green Community

As an integral part of Kensal Green, we believe it is our duty to foster a business environment where integrity and respect for human rights are paramount. We are committed to conducting all aspects of our business ethically, responsibly, and transparently, providing peace of mind to the households and businesses that rely on our services.

This Modern Slavery Statement demonstrates our ongoing dedication to eradicating modern slavery and confirms our role as a responsible, valued member of the local community.
