At Flowers Stoke Newington, we recognise the responsibility we bear as an established local florist serving households and businesses within our community. As a trusted supplier of floral arrangements and related services, we are fully committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all parts of our business and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the measures we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and all forms of exploitation within our business and among those with whom we work.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies equally to all our operations and extends to any individuals, organisations or suppliers with whom we engage. We expect our suppliers and partners to uphold the same commitment and to maintain labour standards in line with legal requirements and best practice.
Flowers Stoke Newington is dedicated to sourcing flowers, plants and associated products from reputable suppliers who demonstrate ethical working practices. Our supplier selection and evaluation processes include checks for compliance with labour laws and a commitment to eradicating exploitation. We regularly review supply chain practices and request declarations from our suppliers to ensure that workers are employed freely and undertake their duties in a safe environment with fair compensation.
Ensuring our employees understand the risks and signs of modern slavery is central to our approach. All members of our team receive training upon induction and through periodic refreshers, equipping them to identify and report any concerns. Our training covers how to spot potential indicators of exploitation, the importance of due diligence, and the steps to take if a suspicion or incident arises.
Flowers Stoke Newington encourages a culture of openness and accountability. Any employee, supplier or stakeholder is encouraged to raise concerns or suspicions of modern slavery, free from fear of reprisal. Reporting channels include direct reporting to line managers or senior management. All communications are handled with discretion and any allegations are investigated promptly and thoroughly.
We recognise that combating modern slavery and human trafficking requires vigilance and ongoing effort. Therefore, our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually. This review assesses the effectiveness of our policies, training, supplier management and reporting mechanisms, and considers ways we can strengthen our approach in line with evolving best practices. Updates or necessary action points identified are implemented and communicated throughout the business.
Our fight against modern slavery forms a vital part of our wider commitment to the Stoke Newington community. We take pride in being a trusted florist and believe that providing beautiful products must never come at the cost of human rights or dignity. We thank our customers, suppliers, and staff for supporting our ethical values and invite you to join us in maintaining vigilance together.
