At Flowers Docklands, we recognise our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking. Operating as a trusted florist in the Docklands, serving local households and businesses, we are committed to upholding ethical standards throughout our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the measures we have implemented to prevent any risks related to modern slavery, ensuring our business processes remain transparent, responsible, and accountable.
Flowers Docklands maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Our commitment is embedded within our core business values. We expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers, and business partners. We act decisively should any practices that contravene our commitment be identified, taking prompt and appropriate remedial action in every instance.
We understand that supply chain transparency is fundamental in combating modern slavery. Our due diligence process requires all suppliers to demonstrate compliance with legal and ethical practices regarding labour standards. This includes a review of our suppliers' own anti-slavery policies and procedures, site visits where appropriate, and ongoing monitoring of business relationships. New suppliers undergo rigorous vetting to assess risks, and established suppliers are regularly reviewed to ensure continued compliance.
Educating our team is vital in supporting our anti-slavery stance. All Flowers Docklands employees receive training to identify potential warning signs of modern slavery and understand their responsibility to prevent exploitative practices. Training is reviewed and updated annually to address evolving risks and changes in legislation. We promote a culture where ethical concerns are openly discussed, and everyone is empowered to act if they have doubts or concerns.
We provide clear channels for reporting any suspected incidents of modern slavery across our business or supply chain. Staff members, suppliers, and stakeholders are encouraged to bring forward concerns or information confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Flowers Docklands investigates allegations thoroughly, acting quickly to ensure appropriate measures are implemented. These robust measures help ensure any concerns are addressed proactively and transparently.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our management team to assess the effectiveness of our tools, processes, and training. We remain committed to continual improvement, striving to adapt and enhance our practices in response to new risks, legislation, and industry best practices. Our goal is to maintain a transparent, ethical business that acts as a role model for responsible floristry in the Docklands community.
Flowers Docklands understands that our reputation as a trusted provider for local households and commercial clients comes with a duty of care that extends beyond simply delivering beautiful arrangements. Our commitment to tackling modern slavery reflects our dedication not only to our customers, but also to the wellbeing of all those involved in our operations and supply chains. We take pride in promoting fairness, respect, and dignity at every stage of our business.
