Flower Delivery Stoke Newington Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

Flower Delivery Stoke Newington is firmly committed to operating as an ethical and responsible local florist. We are acutely aware of the risks associated with modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking within the global supply chain. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Stoke Newington, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that every element of our operations is conducted with respect for human rights.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We uphold a zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies across our business and supply chain, regardless of location. We do not condone, support, or knowingly participate in any practices which violate fundamental human and labour rights. Our leadership, management, and staff are all thoroughly briefed on this commitment, and we expect the same unwavering standards from every supplier and business partner.

Supplier Due Diligence

We understand that the floral industry can be complex, involving growers, transporters, and various intermediaries. We take active steps to prevent exploitation within these links. Our supplier onboarding process includes rigorous due diligence, with an emphasis on ethical sourcing. We require all suppliers to confirm that they operate in full compliance with relevant labour laws, including prevention of child labour, forced labour, and unsafe working conditions. Where possible, we request transparency about sourcing, labour practices, and standards certification as a prerequisite for ongoing business relationships. Regular reviews help ensure that any concerns can be addressed promptly, and any partner found in violation will have their contract terminated.

Staff Training and Awareness

Education forms a cornerstone of our approach to combating modern slavery. All team members, from management to shop-floor staff, receive training tailored to identifying potential risks both within the workplace and the broader supply chain. Training includes information on the signs of modern slavery and guidance on our reporting procedures. This ensures that awareness permeates our business at every level, empowering staff to act promptly if they encounter any issues or suspicions relating to exploitation.

Reporting Channels

We provide accessible and confidential channels for staff, customers, and stakeholders to report concerns related to modern slavery. All reported matters are treated seriously and investigated promptly by appointed members of our management team. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Our open-door culture encourages people to come forward without fear.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to evaluate its effectiveness and to identify opportunities to strengthen our approach. The review considers updates to legislation, feedback from staff, and changes within our supplier network. Should corrective action be necessary, we will apply lessons promptly and transparently to improve our systems and procedures.

Our Responsibility as a Stoke Newington Florist

As a business rooted in the Stoke Newington community, we believe that social responsibility forms an integral part of our identity as a florist. We are committed not just to delivering beautiful flowers, but to conducting business in a way that supports the well-being of everyone touched by our supply chain. Our customers can have confidence knowing that their chosen florist takes a principled stand against modern slavery, and we remain dedicated to upholding these values each and every day.
