Florist Barbican is fully committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity in our business. We serve households and businesses throughout Barbican, and as a trusted florist at the heart of our community, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. Our approach is shaped by zero tolerance, transparency, and proactive engagement at every level.
We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. This policy applies to all Florist Barbican employees, suppliers, and business partners. We expect everyone working with or on behalf of us to share this uncompromising commitment and to uphold human rights and dignity at all times. Any breach of this policy is treated with the utmost seriousness and may result in termination of contracts or disciplinary action.
Florist Barbican carefully selects suppliers based not only on product quality and value but also on their ethical practices and respect for human rights. As part of our supplier due diligence, we conduct risk assessments and evaluate suppliers’ own modern slavery policies and procedures. We require suppliers to provide confirmation that they do not engage in modern slavery or human trafficking and to notify us of any instances should they arise. Our aim is to foster transparent and accountable relationships with all members of our supply chain.
We believe that awareness and education are vital in the prevention of modern slavery. Florist Barbican ensures staff at every level receive training on the signs of modern slavery and how to respond should concerns arise. By empowering our team with knowledge and resources, we help create a vigilant workplace culture where unethical practices are quickly identified and addressed.
All staff, suppliers, and business partners are encouraged to report any suspicions, incidents, or risks relating to modern slavery. We provide clear internal reporting mechanisms in a safe and confidential environment, ensuring there are no barriers to raising concerns. All reports are thoroughly investigated by management and handled sensitively, with support available for those who speak out.
Florist Barbican reviews this Modern Slavery Statement annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and relevance. As legislation, industry best practice, and community expectations evolve, so too does our approach to tackling modern slavery. The annual review will assess the impact of our policies, the robustness of our due diligence, effectiveness of staff training, and supplier compliance, with updates made where necessary.
Our commitment to combatting modern slavery is an intrinsic part of our wider responsibility as a trusted Barbican florist. By taking clear, proactive steps, we help ensure that the flowers, plants, and services we provide to local households and businesses come from a supply chain founded on fairness, respect, and transparency. We remain dedicated to continuous improvement and to setting a positive example for ethical conduct within the floral industry and our local community.
