At Hatton Florist, we recognise the critical importance of acting responsibly and ethically in everything we do. As a trusted florist serving Hatton’s homes and businesses, we value transparency, respect, and fairness, standing firmly against any forms of modern slavery or human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the measures we take to prevent slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chain.
We maintain a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. No employee, contractor, supplier, or other individual connected with Hatton Florist is permitted to engage in or support any activity related to modern slavery. We are committed to upholding the rights and dignity of every individual, and to protecting those who may be vulnerable to exploitation.
Given our reliance on a broad network of suppliers, particularly in the sourcing of flowers and associated products, we conduct thorough due diligence to ensure our partners uphold equivalent ethical standards. All new suppliers are assessed for their compliance with anti-slavery legislation and are required to confirm their commitment to preventing modern slavery in their own practices and supply chains. We regularly review and, where necessary, audit our suppliers to ensure their continued alignment with these standards. Any supplier found to be in breach of our policy is subject to immediate action, up to and including termination of the business relationship.
Educating our team is critical to the prevention of modern slavery. All new and existing Hatton Florist staff receive training tailored to recognising the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, both in the workplace and across our supply chain. We empower our team to ask questions and seek guidance if they suspect unethical practices, ensuring they understand their responsibilities and the appropriate actions to take should any concern arise.
Hatton Florist provides a safe, confidential means for staff and partners to report any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery. We guarantee that all reports are treated seriously and investigated thoroughly, with no risk of retaliation against those who raise genuine concerns in good faith. We also encourage suppliers and business partners to engage with us should they identify potential risks or issues, emphasizing a collaborative approach to the elimination of modern slavery.
This statement, and our broader approach to tackling modern slavery, is reviewed each year to ensure it remains effective and up-to-date. We assess our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships on an ongoing basis, striving to strengthen our approach and respond to emerging risks. Feedback from our staff, customers, and partners is a vital part of this process, and we welcome suggestions that support our ethical aims.
As a proud Hatton florist, we acknowledge the trust placed in us by local households and commercial clients. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery extends beyond compliance—it reflects our core values and our dedication to doing what is right. We believe ethical trade and strong communities go hand in hand, and we thank our customers and partners for supporting our efforts to promote fairness and dignity for all.
