At Flower Delivery Islington, we recognise our responsibility in combating modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and throughout our supply chains. As a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in Islington, we are committed to upholding ethical standards and ensuring that our products and services are delivered free from exploitation.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. This policy applies to all directors, staff, and contractors working with or on behalf of Flower Delivery Islington. We remain vigilant against any practices that could lead to exploitation, and we take all reports of suspected modern slavery or labour abuses seriously.
We understand that the risks of modern slavery can exist at multiple points within the floriculture supply chain, from the sourcing of flowers and materials to their final delivery. To reduce these risks, we conduct diligent assessments of our suppliers, prioritising those who share our values and commitment to human rights. As part of our due diligence process, we seek written confirmation from our suppliers that they do not tolerate modern slavery within their operations or those of their subcontractors. When entering or renewing commercial relationships, we evaluate suppliers based on their compliance with anti-slavery regulations, labour standards, and ethical business practices.
Ensuring that our employees understand the risks and signs of modern slavery is essential to strengthening our protections. All team members at Flower Delivery Islington receive regular training on recognising and reporting concerns related to labour exploitation, human trafficking, or unethical practices within our operations or among our suppliers. This training is refreshed annually to ensure that our staff remain alert to any emerging risks or changes in relevant legislation.
We encourage all staff, suppliers, and third parties to raise concerns about potential or actual instances of modern slavery or human trafficking. Reports made in good faith will always be treated with discretion and respect. Any concerns raised are thoroughly investigated and acted upon without delay, in partnership with the appropriate authorities where required. Our open-door policy ensures that everyone feels empowered to speak out without fear of retaliation.
Modern slavery risks can evolve over time. To maintain the effectiveness of our approach, we formally review this statement and all associated procedures each year, or more frequently if needed. We consider feedback from staff, audits of our processes, and developments in best practice to improve our systems. These reviews ensure we remain at the forefront of ethical business conduct within the Islington community.
Flower Delivery Islington is committed to creating a safe, fair, and transparent supply chain, serving households and businesses with integrity. We believe that our zero tolerance approach to modern slavery not only protects our people but also strengthens the trust our customers place in us. Together, we can contribute to a community and industry where exploitation has no place.
