Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery

Mayfair Florist is committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation in our operations and across our supply chains. As a trusted florist serving Mayfair’s households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to act with integrity and transparency in all our practices. We value the welfare of all individuals connected to our business and are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate with a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery. Any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour is entirely unacceptable and incompatible with our values. This principle underpins every aspect of our work, from employment practices at Mayfair Florist to the ethical sourcing of the flowers and materials we use. We extend this commitment to all business partners, suppliers, and contractors, ensuring they share and uphold these values throughout their operations.

Supplier Due Diligence and Ethical Sourcing

Mayfair Florist conducts robust supplier due diligence procedures to identify and address risks of modern slavery. We prioritise working with reputable growers, wholesalers, and logistics providers who demonstrate visible commitment to ethical practices. As part of our onboarding and ongoing evaluation processes, suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery policies. Where possible, we favour suppliers with traceable supply chains and independently audited labour standards. We regularly review and update our supplier assessments to reflect the evolving risks within the floral industry and supply networks.

Staff Training and Awareness

We provide training to all team members, from florists to administrative staff, ensuring they are aware of the risks associated with modern slavery and equipped to identify any red flags. Training is included in the induction process and reinforced through periodic refreshers. All staff are encouraged to stay informed regarding labour rights, ethical sourcing, and the importance of vigilance in upholding our zero-tolerance policy. By fostering a well-informed workplace, we empower every employee to take an active role in our ongoing commitment to eradicating modern slavery.

Clear Reporting Channels

Mayfair Florist upholds a transparent culture where staff, suppliers, and third parties are encouraged to report concerns about potential or suspected cases of modern slavery. We have established confidential internal channels through which individuals may raise concerns anonymously if they so wish, without fear of reprisal. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and appropriate action is taken in line with our procedures. We believe open communication is vital to identifying and eradicating unethical practices in our business and throughout our supply chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its relevance and effectiveness. We assess our progress, monitor developments in the industry, and update our policies to better address emerging risks. Through regular evaluation, ongoing staff engagement, and proactive supplier management, we are committed to continuous improvement in our fight against modern slavery.

Responsibility as a Trusted Mayfair Florist

As a longtime member of the Mayfair community, serving local households and businesses, we know our standards reflect upon our reputation and the trust placed in us. Mayfair Florist considers the prevention of modern slavery not only a legal obligation but a core aspect of our values and our service to the community. We remain dedicated to maintaining an environment where human rights are respected and safeguarded, within our business and throughout our supply chain.
