Flower Delivery Whitechapel is firmly dedicated to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our business. We believe that, as a leading florist serving the households and businesses of Whitechapel, it is our duty to uphold the highest ethical standards. Modern slavery, in all its forms including forced labour, child labour, and exploitation, has no place in our operations or in the wider floral supply chain.
We recognise that, as a business working with multiple suppliers, we have a direct responsibility to ensure that our supply chain is free of modern slavery and exploitative practices. Before engaging with any supplier or contractor, we implement robust due diligence procedures. These include pre-contract assessments, supplier self-disclosure questionnaires, and, where necessary, on-site visits. We require all our suppliers and partners to adhere strictly to legal and ethical standards regarding worker welfare. We expect them to maintain policies consistent with our own zero-tolerance approach and to undertake measures to identify and address any risks of modern slavery within their operations.
Our commitment to combating modern slavery is shared at every level of Flower Delivery Whitechapel. All staff, from florists and drivers to management, receive dedicated training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. We regularly provide refresher sessions and update training materials to reflect new developments and best practices. By equipping our team with the knowledge to identify risk factors, we reinforce our culture of vigilance and responsibility within the workplace.
We maintain clear internal channels for reporting concerns about possible instances of modern slavery, either within our own business or in our supply chain. Employees are encouraged to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Any reports are taken seriously and promptly investigated by appropriate management. Where external expertise or escalation is required, we follow through to ensure concerns are resolved appropriately in line with legal requirements.
Flower Delivery Whitechapel reviews its Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies on an annual basis, or more frequently if required. Each review evaluates the effectiveness of our processes for preventing modern slavery, identifies any areas for improvement, and incorporates advances in best practice. If concerns or incidents are identified, immediate actions and longer-term preventative steps are implemented to strengthen our controls. Our senior management retains ultimate responsibility for ensuring the ongoing integrity of our anti-slavery efforts.
Being a trusted florist in the Whitechapel community means more than simply providing quality flowers; it means conducting our business with care, transparency, and an ongoing commitment to ethical practice. By maintaining these standards and encouraging others in our sector to do the same, we strive to create a positive impact on all who interact with Flower Delivery Whitechapel, from growers and suppliers to the local households and businesses we serve. This statement represents a clear account of our values and actions, reaffirming that we will not tolerate exploitation in any form as part of our continued service to the community.
