Flowers Fitzrovia is committed to operating as a trusted and responsible florist, serving Fitzrovia households and businesses with integrity and respect. Our reputation is built not only on the quality of our flowers and service, but also on our unwavering commitment to upholding human rights and preventing modern slavery in all its forms. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we take to combat forced labour, exploitation, and human trafficking throughout our business operations and supply chain.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. This applies to all our direct operations as well as within our network of suppliers, growers, and business partners. Any form of modern slavery is in direct contradiction to our values and is wholly unacceptable. We are committed to taking appropriate action—including the immediate termination of business relationships—wherever a violation is identified.
We recognise the complex, global nature of floristry supply chains and take due diligence seriously in our sourcing practices. Flowers Fitzrovia scrutinises our suppliers to ensure alignment with our ethical standards. Before engaging with any supplier, we seek assurances of compliance with relevant laws and our own minimum standards regarding labour and human rights. We request transparency regarding suppliers’ employment practices, working conditions, and subcontracting procedures, and reserve the right to review or audit supplier activities as needed. Where areas for improvement are identified, we encourage cooperation and corrective action—reserving the right to review or terminate relationships if modern slavery risks cannot be sufficiently addressed.
Our staff are the cornerstone of our commitment to ethical practice. We provide relevant training to our team members so they can recognise the signs of modern slavery, know how to respond responsibly, and understand our policies in this area. Staff are kept informed of legislative obligations and best practices to ensure any risk—however small—is promptly reported and addressed. New employees receive induction on our modern slavery policy, and refresher sessions are provided to maintain vigilance.
We foster a culture of openness that encourages employees, suppliers, and partners to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Flowers Fitzrovia has established clear channels for reporting suspected or actual instances of modern slavery. Reports made in good faith will be treated in strict confidence and appropriately investigated. Prompt action is taken to protect the rights and wellbeing of potential victims, and all findings are reviewed by senior management to ensure consistent responses and continuous policy improvement.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it captures new legal requirements, industry developments, and feedback from staff, suppliers, and the community. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our approaches and seek new ways to strengthen our zero tolerance culture. Where areas for improvement are identified, we commit to taking robust corrective measures and communicating progress internally and externally, in keeping with the trust placed in us by the Fitzrovia community.
As a local florist, our responsibility extends beyond our business to the wider community. Our vigilance against modern slavery reflects our role as a trusted Fitzrovia florist, dedicated to ethical standards that respect those who grow our flowers, deliver our services, and welcome us into their homes and businesses. Flowers Fitzrovia stands with our neighbours and partners in upholding human dignity and fairness at every stage of our work.
