Finsbury Park Flowers Modern Slavery Statement
Our Approach to Modern Slavery
Finsbury Park Flowers is dedicated to upholding the highest human rights standards, both within our business operations and throughout our supply chains. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in the Finsbury Park area, we understand our responsibility extends beyond providing beautiful flowers. We are absolutely committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in any form, and we strive to act ethically and with integrity in all our relationships.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We operate a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. No form of exploitation, coercion, or abuse is accepted anywhere in our business or supply network. This commitment is enshrined in our internal policies and forms a central part of our organisational culture. We expect everyone connected to Finsbury Park Flowers, including our suppliers and business partners, to uphold the same high standards and ethical principles.
Supplier Due Diligence
Our reputation is built on trust, and that means being vigilant about who we work with. When choosing suppliers and partners, we conduct thorough due diligence to ensure they share our stance against modern slavery. This includes:
- Requiring suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery laws and ethical working practices.
- Reviewing supplier policies, procedures, and publicly available information regarding their commitment to preventing exploitation and trafficking.
- Terminating business relationships if we suspect or identify any violations in relation to modern slavery risks.
Staff Training and Awareness
We recognise that our staff play a vital role in identifying and preventing modern slavery. All employees undergo regular training to raise awareness of the issues related to forced labour and human trafficking. Training covers recognising warning signs, how to respond appropriately, and understanding the importance of ethical sourcing. By fostering a culture of responsibility and vigilance, we empower our team to contribute actively to our anti-slavery agenda.
Reporting Channels
We are committed to providing clear, safe reporting channels for anyone who suspects instances of modern slavery linked to our business or supply chain. Staff and suppliers are encouraged to voice concerns, confident that all reports will be handled promptly, sensitively, and confidentially. No one will ever experience retaliation or discrimination for raising legitimate concerns about modern slavery risks or unethical practices.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to fighting modern slavery does not stand still. Each year, we review and update our policies, procedures, and training programmes to ensure maximum effectiveness. This includes evaluating feedback, monitoring changes in regulation, and benchmarking against industry best practice. Where necessary, we adapt our practices to further reduce the risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chain.

As a leading local florist in Finsbury Park, we understand that ethical business practices are integral to the trust our customers place in us. This Modern Slavery Statement is a reflection of our values and the responsibility we hold to neighbours, clients, and the wider community. Finsbury Park Flowers remains vigilant, proactive, and transparent in working towards eradicating modern slavery and fostering respect for human rights at every level.
