As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Upper Norwood, we recognise our responsibility to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in both our direct operations and our wider supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the actions we take to safeguard human rights, ensuring transparency, and accountability in our operations each year.

Upper Norwood Florist is committed to conducting business honestly and ethically, and we expect our suppliers, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same high standards. Any breach of these standards is grounds for immediate review and necessary action, up to and including termination of business relationships.
We understand that our commitment to combating modern slavery extends beyond our immediate team to the suppliers and businesses with whom we work. Upper Norwood Florist undertakes thorough due diligence before entering into relationships with new suppliers, particularly those involved in the sourcing of flowers, plants, and related products. Our review process includes:
Suppliers found not to comply with our standards will be subject to review and possible discontinuation of business.
We recognise the importance of ensuring that every team member at Upper Norwood Florist understands the risks and signs of modern slavery. Regular training sessions are provided to our staff to raise awareness of modern slavery, enabling them to identify and respond to potential concerns within our own business and our supply chain. Training covers recognizing signs of exploitation, the legal context, and our internal procedures for escalating concerns.
Upper Norwood Florist encourages a culture of openness and responsibility, and we provide clear channels for staff and partners to report any suspicion of modern slavery or unethical behaviour confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All concerns are taken seriously, reviewed swiftly, and acted upon where appropriate, in accordance with our policies and applicable regulations.

We monitor our performance, assess the effectiveness of our actions, and seek continuous improvement, amending our procedures in response to new guidance or findings. Any significant changes will be communicated wherever appropriate, to maintain transparency and uphold our reputation as a responsible Upper Norwood florist.
As we continue to provide flowers and floral services to local households and businesses, we do so with a firm sense of social responsibility.
