Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery East Finchley
Our Approach to Modern Slavery
Flower Delivery East Finchley is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all areas of our business. We recognise modern slavery and human trafficking as serious issues that can impact individuals and communities worldwide. As a trusted florist serving East Finchley households and businesses, we accept our responsibility to actively work against all forms of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery. This means we do not tolerate the use of forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, or any activity that deprives individuals of their liberty for personal or commercial gain. Our commitment extends to all areas of our business — from sourcing flowers and products to delivering bouquets to our valued customers.
Supplier Due Diligence
Our suppliers are vital to the quality and integrity of our service. We work only with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical standards. During the selection process, we conduct due diligence which includes:
- Assessing supplier policies on labour and human rights
- Requesting evidence of compliance with modern slavery laws
- Monitoring supply chain transparency through regular communication and, where possible, supplier audits
If a supplier is found to have violated our standards, we take immediate action, including terminating the business relationship if necessary. Our goal is to build responsible partnerships and foster ongoing improvement throughout our supply chain.
Staff Training and Awareness
All members of our team receive ongoing training on identifying, preventing, and reporting modern slavery risks. This training ensures they understand the signs of exploitation and know how to act should a concern arise. By empowering our staff, we strengthen our collective ability to uphold our values and prevent modern slavery from occurring within our operations or supply network.
Reporting Channels
Flower Delivery East Finchley encourages a culture of openness and accountability. We provide clear, confidential channels for staff and suppliers to raise any concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical practices. All reports are taken seriously and are investigated thoroughly, with appropriate steps taken to address any verified issues.
Annual Statement Review
We conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement to ensure it remains relevant and effective. As laws, risks, and best practices evolve, we update our procedures and policies accordingly. This commitment enables us to proactively address challenges and continue protecting vulnerable individuals within our sphere of influence.
Our Responsibility as a Community Florist
Serving the East Finchley community brings with it a significant duty of care. We are committed not only to delivering beautiful flowers but also to conducting business in a way that safeguards human rights and values. Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects the seriousness with which we embrace this responsibility, both for our customers and for those who work within our supply chain.
