As a trusted Brent florist dedicated to serving our local households and businesses, Brent Florist is fully committed to conducting all aspects of our operations with the highest regard for ethical standards and human rights. We recognise our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery in all its forms—including slavery, servitude, forced and bonded labour, and human trafficking—has no place in our business or our supply chains.
Brent Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery. We are resolute in our stance that any form of exploitation or abuse of human rights is entirely unacceptable. Our commitment is clearly communicated to all employees and business partners, and we expect the highest standards of integrity and transparency from everyone who works with us or on our behalf.
We source flowers, plants, and related products from reputable suppliers who share our values regarding the treatment of workers. Our supplier selection process includes a robust due diligence procedure, whereby we assess potential and existing suppliers against criteria for ethical employment practices, compliance with legislation, and a demonstrated commitment to eradicating modern slavery. Should concerns about a supplier's compliance arise, we reserve the right to terminate the relationship without hesitation. We regularly review our supply chain processes to ensure continuous adherence to these standards.
At Brent Florist, equipping our staff with the knowledge to identify and address instances of modern slavery is a priority. We provide regular training to ensure all staff understand what modern slavery is, how to recognise signs of it both within our premises and throughout our supply network, and the steps to be taken if suspicions arise. Creating an informed and alert workforce is a vital part of our prevention strategy.
We are committed to fostering a culture of openness in which staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders feel empowered to voice concerns without fear of reprisal. We maintain formal channels through which individuals can confidentially report suspected cases of modern slavery. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly and thoroughly. We follow clear escalation procedures and ensure that any necessary corrective actions are implemented swiftly and fairly.
To ensure the ongoing effectiveness of our efforts, Brent Florist reviews this Modern Slavery Statement and the associated policies and processes on an annual basis. Through these reviews, we strive to identify areas where we can improve our practices, respond to emerging risks, and strengthen our capacity to combat modern slavery throughout our organisation and supply chain. We remain vigilant and adaptable in our approach.
We understand that our reputation within Brent is built on trust and responsibility. By taking meaningful steps to prevent and address modern slavery, we honour the confidence placed in us by local families, businesses, and partners. Brent Florist reaffirms its commitment to upholding the dignity and rights of all individuals touched by our operations, and we continue to work tirelessly to ensure our business is a force for good within the community we cherish.
