As a leading florist serving households and businesses in the Elmers End community, Flower Delivery Elmers End recognises its responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our operations. We are fully committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent exploitation and affirms our zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour. This policy is central to our ethos and applies to every aspect of our business, whether it's sourcing flowers, working with suppliers, or employing staff. We are clear that such practices will not be tolerated at Flower Delivery Elmers End, and we expect the same high standards of all those with whom we do business.
Recognising that our supply chain is a critical area of focus, we conduct careful due diligence checks when choosing suppliers and partners. We work closely with our flower growers, wholesalers, and logistics providers to ensure their operations are free from modern slavery. Our due diligence process includes:
We reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier or partner found to be in breach of our anti-slavery standards.
We believe that equipping our staff with the knowledge and tools to identify and report potential risks is vital in our fight against modern slavery. All relevant team members undergo annual training to recognise signs of exploitation, understand our anti-slavery policies, and learn the appropriate reporting procedures. Our training is regularly updated and tailored to reflect developments in legislation and best practice.
Flower Delivery Elmers End provides clear, confidential reporting channels for employees and contractors to raise any concerns regarding modern slavery or human trafficking. All reports are taken seriously, thoroughly investigated, and followed up in line with our whistleblowing policy. No one who raises a concern in good faith will ever face retaliation or discrimination for doing so.
We undertake a full annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our related procedures. Any areas for improvement are addressed rapidly and embedded into our wider business processes. Our commitment is ongoing, and we are always looking to strengthen our approach, learning from industry developments and stakeholder feedback.
As a trusted Elmers End florist, we recognise that our actions impact both our community and the broader supply chain. By promoting ethical practices and transparency in all we do, we aim to inspire confidence among our customers while contributing to the global fight against modern slavery. Our responsibility extends beyond flowers – we are committed to ensuring respect, dignity, and fairness for all across our business.
