Flower Delivery Harold Hill Modern Slavery Statement

Our Policy on Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Harold Hill, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring that slavery and human trafficking have no place within our business or supply chains. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Harold Hill, we recognise our responsibility to foster transparency, dignity, and respect throughout all aspects of our operations. We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in all its forms, including forced labour, human trafficking, and child exploitation.

Zero Tolerance Commitment

We maintain a clear and unequivocal stance: there will be no acceptance of any form of modern slavery or forced labour within our company or among our suppliers. Any supplier, contractor, or partner found to be in breach of this policy will have their relationship with Flower Delivery Harold Hill reviewed and may have their contracts terminated. Our ethical standards guide every procurement and employment decision, ensuring we protect the rights of those who make it possible for us to deliver exceptional floral arrangements throughout our community.

Supplier Due Diligence

To uphold our standards, we have established a robust supplier due diligence process. Before engaging with any supplier, we assess their labour practices, ethical policies, and working conditions. Preference is given to suppliers who can demonstrate compliance with internationally recognised labour laws and ethical practices, particularly in relation to preventing slavery and human trafficking. We regularly review and monitor our existing suppliers and require contractual commitments to ethical conduct as a condition of continued partnership.

Staff Training and Awareness

Our employees are at the heart of our commitment to ethical business practices. We invest in regular training and educational programmes to ensure that all staff members understand the signs of modern slavery and know their responsibilities in reporting concerns. Training workshops, resources, and ongoing communications support staff in identifying, reporting, and tackling any form of exploitation they may become aware of during the course of their work.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and business partners to speak out if they have any concerns about possible modern slavery within Flower Delivery Harold Hill or our supply chain. Clear and confidential reporting mechanisms are in place, and staff are made aware of how to escalate suspicions without fear of retaliation or recrimination. Every report is treated with the utmost seriousness and investigated promptly and thoroughly, with appropriate actions taken as required.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and reflects best practice guidance. As part of this review, we consult staff, evaluate our training and reporting effectiveness, and engage with suppliers regarding new or evolving risks. This continuous improvement approach enables us to adjust our policies and practices as required and ensures Flower Delivery Harold Hill remains a safe, ethical, and trusted business in our community.

Reflecting Our Community Responsibility

As a well-established florist in Harold Hill, we take our social responsibilities seriously. Our ongoing efforts to combat modern slavery are not only a reflection of legal compliance, but of our core values and our promise to the households and businesses who depend on us.
