Modern Slavery Statement – Flower Delivery Upton Park

Our Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Upton Park, we are steadfast in our commitment to operating with the utmost integrity and upholding human dignity in all aspects of our business. Modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour, has no place in our operations or in our supply chain. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Upton Park, we take seriously our responsibility to promote ethical practices and protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy extends to every branch of our business and supply chain. We expect the same uncompromising standards from all our suppliers, contractors, partners, and anyone acting on our behalf. Our approach is clear – any form of modern slavery or unethical labour practices will result in immediate action, including termination of business relationships where evidence is found.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise that the risk of modern slavery is greater where supply chains stretch across complex networks and borders. To address this, we implement robust due diligence processes designed to identify, prevent, and mitigate the risk of unethical labour practices. Before engaging with any new supplier, we assess their labour standards, workplace conditions, and compliance with relevant legislation. Ongoing reviews and audits are conducted to monitor existing suppliers. Should a supplier fall short of our ethical expectations, we work collaboratively with them to resolve issues, or, if necessary, reconsider our relationship.

Staff Training and Awareness

Our staff are central to our efforts in identifying and preventing modern slavery. All employees undergo regular training to raise awareness of modern slavery, its indicators, and the role everyone plays in prevention. Staff learn how to recognise the signs of exploitation, understand our company policies, and apply due diligence in their daily work, particularly when dealing with new suppliers or employment agencies. Training also reinforces the values of respect, fairness, and responsibility that underpin our work culture.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Flower Delivery Upton Park maintains open, confidential, and accessible reporting channels for staff and stakeholders who have concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical practices. We encourage our team and partners to speak up without fear of retaliation. Reports, whether anonymous or otherwise, are handled sensitively and investigated thoroughly. Appropriate remedial action is taken where necessary, ensuring that breaches are addressed promptly and decisively.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to the continuous oversight and improvement of our policies and procedures. Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with legal and ethical standards. Through regular assessment and adaptation, we strive to deepen our commitment and keep pace with best practices in combating modern slavery.

Our Responsibility to the Upton Park Community

As a longstanding florist in Upton Park, serving the needs of local households and businesses, we recognise that our reputation is built on trust. Upholding ethical standards is core to our identity and our mission. By driving out modern slavery from our business and supply chains, we not only protect vulnerable individuals but also reinforce our role as a responsible and trusted member of the Upton Park community.
