At Flower Delivery Walthamstow, we are deeply committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all areas of our business. As a trusted local florist providing quality arrangements to households and businesses throughout Walthamstow, we recognise our responsibility to actively oppose all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, servitude, and forced labour within our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines our approach and the steps we are taking to ensure modern slavery has no place in our business or the floral industry.
We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This unequivocal stance applies to every aspect of our business, from sourcing flowers and sundries to the delivery and sale of our products. We expect all employees, suppliers, and business partners to share our dedication to eradicating exploitative practices wherever they may occur.
Central to our anti-slavery efforts is a robust supplier due diligence programme. We work only with those suppliers who reflect our values and meet our high ethical standards. We require each supplier, whether local or international, to confirm their compliance with applicable modern slavery and human trafficking legislation. Furthermore, we carry out regular assessments and request evidence of transparent labour practices to minimise the risk of exploitation within our supply chain.
Our staff form the backbone of our ability to identify and respond to risks of modern slavery. All team members receive ongoing training to recognise possible indicators of labour exploitation and human trafficking. This includes learning about ethical sourcing, identifying red flags within the supply process, and understanding their personal and collective responsibilities under the law. Well-informed staff are empowered to uphold our values and take immediate action should concerns arise.
We actively encourage anyone who suspects modern slavery or unethical practices—whether within our business, our supplier network, or elsewhere—to report their concerns without fear of retaliation. Clear and confidential reporting channels are in place to ensure that all disclosures are treated seriously and investigated promptly. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and take swift and proportionate action against anyone found to be involved in exploitative practices.
To foster continuous improvement and remain vigilant to emerging risks, we review and update this statement and our associated practices annually. Our annual reviews consider changes in legislation, industry best practices, and feedback from staff, suppliers, and the wider Walthamstow community. Where areas for improvement are identified, we implement practical action plans aimed at strengthening our anti-slavery framework further.
As a proud and longstanding member of the Walthamstow business community, we recognise that our customers and neighbours place their trust in us not only for the beauty and quality of our flowers, but also for our integrity and responsibility as an employer and service provider. Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects our commitment to protecting human rights, promoting fair labour practices, and safeguarding the reputation of our much-loved local florist – today and for the future.
