Flower Delivery South Hackney Modern Slavery Statement

Our Approach to Preventing Modern Slavery

As a respected flower delivery service in South Hackney, Flower Delivery South Hackney recognises its essential role in upholding the highest ethical standards within our business and across our supply chain. We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in any form and strive to maintain an environment where fairness, dignity, and respect are paramount—reflecting our responsibility to the households and businesses we serve in the local community.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate with a strict zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. This commitment extends to all areas of our business, including direct employees, agency workers, and all parties in our supply chain. Any identified breaches of this policy result in immediate investigation and appropriate action, including, but not limited to, termination of contracts or legal recourse where necessary.

Supplier Due Diligence

Flower Delivery South Hackney acknowledges the importance of ethical sourcing and responsible supplier management. We perform regular due diligence on all suppliers, particularly those involved in the growth, transport, and handling of our flowers and associated goods. Suppliers are required to confirm that they share our stance on modern slavery and meet all relevant labour standards. Contracts reflect these expectations, and we reserve the right to audit suppliers or request evidence of compliance at any time. Any supplier failing to meet our standards faces immediate review and possible cessation of our business relationship.

Staff Training and Awareness

All our team members—from florists to delivery drivers—receive regular training regarding the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking, both in the UK and abroad. Training covers the signs of exploitation, the importance of speaking up, and how to respond appropriately if issues arise. This helps build a collective culture of vigilance and accountability, empowering our team to act with confidence while safeguarding themselves and others.

Reporting Channels

We encourage open communication across every level of Flower Delivery South Hackney. Any concerns, suspicions, or incidents related to modern slavery can be reported confidentially through our internal channels. All reported matters are handled with integrity and sensitivity, in line with our whistleblowing and grievance procedures. We are committed to supporting staff and partners who raise genuine concerns, ensuring no retaliation against those who speak out in good faith.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our stance on modern slavery is subject to annual review by senior management. Through these reviews, we assess the ongoing effectiveness of our policies, adapt them to reflect new risks or external guidance, and reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement. This process includes reviewing supplier relationships, staff training effectiveness, and the adequacy of our reporting mechanisms. We welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement from employees, customers, and suppliers alike.
