Cricklewood Florist is dedicated to conducting all aspects of our business ethically and responsibly, reflecting our values as a trusted and prominent florist for households and businesses across Cricklewood. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in both our own operations and throughout our supply chains.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance approach towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. Our commitment is enshrined in our company policies and forms an essential foundation of our business practice. Any breach of these principles by employees, suppliers, or business partners is a cause for immediate action, including termination of contracts and notification of authorities where required.
As a florist, our supply chain encompasses growers, wholesalers, logistics providers, and support services. We conduct thorough checks and ongoing due diligence to ensure our suppliers and partners adhere to legal and ethical standards. This includes requiring written assurances from our primary suppliers regarding their own anti-slavery measures, as well as periodic reviews. We seek to build relationships with suppliers who demonstrate transparency and a clear commitment to human rights and fair labour practices.
All members of the Cricklewood Florist team receive training to recognise signs of modern slavery and to understand the importance of ethical conduct in our daily operations. This training is refreshed annually and highlights our company policies, legal obligations, and the roles staff play in upholding our standards. By ensuring our team is informed and vigilant, we reinforce a culture that prioritises human rights and combats exploitation.
We encourage all employees, suppliers, and customers to voice concerns or suspicions of improper practice confidentially. Any reports of potential modern slavery or unethical behaviour are treated seriously and investigated promptly, in line with our whistleblowing policy. Our staff are empowered and supported to raise issues without fear of retaliation, ensuring that breaches are detected, addressed, and prevented from recurring.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed each year as part of our corporate governance processes. We monitor the effectiveness of our controls through internal audits, engagement with suppliers, and feedback from staff and customers. As legislation evolves and best practices develop, we update our policies and training to ensure continued compliance and real-world impact.
Serving the Cricklewood community means holding ourselves to the highest standards. We recognise our unique position and responsibility as a local florist trusted by families and businesses. Our vigilance against modern slavery forms one part of our broader commitment to creating a safe, ethical, and sustainable supply chain that benefits everyone involved.
This statement is made in accordance with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and relates to the financial year ending 2024. We remain steadfast in our mission to deliver beautiful flowers with honest, responsible, and principled business practices.
