Flower Delivery Hatch End Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Hatch End, we understand our responsibility as a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Hatch End. As a valued member of our community, we are committed to ensuring that our operations and supply chains are free from any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. We take seriously the welfare of everyone involved in bringing our products and services to local customers, and we rigorously uphold our duty to conduct our business ethically and with integrity.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Flower Delivery Hatch End enforces a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We categorically prohibit forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, and we do not accept or engage with suppliers who fail to uphold these same ethical standards. Our culture is built on respect, dignity, and fair treatment for all individuals, whether they are employees, contractors, or members of our extended supply network.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise that our ethical responsibility extends beyond the boundaries of our business and into our entire supply chain. To safeguard against slavery and human trafficking, we conduct comprehensive due diligence checks on all our suppliers and partners. Each supplier is required to confirm their adherence to our ethical code of conduct, and we actively seek assurances that their own suppliers and subcontractors operate within the same standards. Periodic reviews are carried out to ensure ongoing compliance, and any supplier found not conforming to our anti-slavery expectations will have the relationship terminated.

Staff Training

Training is an essential component of our commitment to combating modern slavery. All staff members receive training to heighten their awareness of modern slavery, including how to recognise potential signs and what actions to take should concerns arise. This education extends to team leaders and managers, reinforcing the importance of vigilance throughout our operations. We encourage employees to act without hesitation if they suspect any wrongdoing, providing them with the knowledge and confidence to do so responsibly.

Reporting Channels

We have established clear and confidential reporting channels for employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to raise any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices. Reports can be made without fear of reprisal, and all allegations will be investigated promptly and thoroughly. We are committed to protecting whistle-blowers and ensuring that any form of retaliation is strictly prohibited. Transparency and accountability are integral to our approach.

Annual Review

We are dedicated to continuous improvement in our efforts to prevent modern slavery. Our policies, procedures, and training materials are reviewed every year to reflect legislative updates, industry advancements, and learnings from within our business and wider community. We also monitor the effectiveness of our due diligence and reporting systems to ensure they remain robust and effective.

Our Social Responsibility

As a florist serving the Hatch End community, our commitment to ethical business practices is at the heart of everything we do. Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects our wider dedication to supporting social justice, human rights, and the wellbeing of everyone in our value chain. By prioritising transparency and integrity, we aim to inspire trust and confidence in all households and businesses we are privileged to serve.
