At Flower Delivery Little Ilford, we believe that every person has the right to live and work in safety, dignity, and freedom. As a trusted florist supplying the Little Ilford community, both households and local businesses, it is our duty to ensure that no part of our operations or supply chain contributes to modern slavery or human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the measures we implement to prevent modern slavery in our business and represents our ongoing efforts to operate with integrity and accountability.
Flower Delivery Little Ilford has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. Our commitment to ethical business practices is non-negotiable and forms the foundation of our daily operations. We expect the same standards from all individuals and organisations we work with, including suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery is treated with the highest priority and will result in immediate corrective action, including the termination of business relationships if necessary.
Recognising that many risks of modern slavery can originate in supply chains, we conduct thorough due diligence before engaging with new suppliers or renewing existing contracts. Our process includes evaluating policies and operational practices, assessing supplier compliance with labour laws, and requesting evidence of anti-slavery measures where applicable. We favour suppliers who can demonstrate transparent and ethical sourcing, and we regularly review our supply chain for any potential red flags.
Our staff are integral in upholding our commitment against modern slavery. To equip our team members with the necessary knowledge and confidence, we provide regular training on recognising the signs of modern slavery, understanding risks within the floristry sector, and reporting procedures for any concerns. This training is mandatory for all employees and is updated annually to reflect current best practices and legislative changes. We foster a culture of openness where staff are encouraged to speak up in support of ethical and fair treatment for all.
Flower Delivery Little Ilford provides clear and secure channels for employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical practices. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly by senior management. We take every report seriously and ensure that whistleblowers are protected from any form of retaliation. Our goal is to provide a safe environment where issues can be raised, investigated, and addressed appropriately.
As part of our commitment to ongoing improvement, this Modern Slavery Statement and its associated procedures are reviewed on an annual basis. We take into account changes in legislation, industry standards, and feedback from staff or stakeholders to strengthen our response to the threat of modern slavery. Any findings and lessons learned from investigations and reviews are integrated into our future planning and staff training, ensuring that we remain vigilant and proactive.
Serving Little Ilford’s households and commercial clients means earning and upholding the trust of our community. We recognise that our responsibility reaches far beyond delivering beautiful flowers; it involves ensuring our business practices support ethical values and human rights. Flower Delivery Little Ilford will continually strive to set a positive example in the fight against modern slavery, reflecting our promise as an accountable and responsible local florist.
