Flowers Whitechapel stands firmly against all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitative work practices. As a trusted florist serving Whitechapel’s households and businesses, we understand the importance of upholding the highest ethical standards throughout every aspect of our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the actions we are taking to prevent and address modern slavery risks.
We maintain a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This principle underpins all of our business activities and forms the foundation of our relationships with staff, suppliers, and service providers. Flowers Whitechapel will not knowingly engage or continue business relationships with any organisation or individual complicit in slavery or unethical labour practices. Our team is committed to acting with integrity and in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
Flowers Whitechapel sources products and services from trusted suppliers who align with our ethical values. We conduct thorough due diligence on all our suppliers, especially those involved in high-risk sectors or countries. Our supplier assessments include requesting information on their own practices and policies regarding modern slavery, and we review evidence of their compliance where appropriate. We expect our suppliers to share our zero tolerance stance and require them to implement similar measures within their own supply chains.
We believe that awareness and education are vital tools in the fight against modern slavery. All Flowers Whitechapel staff receive training on identifying red flags and understanding their responsibilities in preventing exploitation. Regular refreshers and updates ensure our team is equipped to recognise, report, and respond effectively to any concerns. By promoting an open culture and informed workforce, we aim to ensure everyone within our organisation feels empowered to speak up if they notice something amiss.
We provide clear and confidential channels for staff, suppliers, or third parties to report any suspicions or evidence of slavery, human trafficking, or unethical labour practices related to our business. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly, in line with our company policies and applicable legal requirements. We foster a no-retaliation policy that protects those who raise concerns in good faith.
The effectiveness of our policies and procedures is reviewed annually, or more frequently where required. This statement is updated each year to reflect any changes in risks, legislation, or our operational practices. Flowers Whitechapel is dedicated to continually enhancing our methods and working with partners who share our dedication to eradicating modern slavery from the entire floral supply chain.
As a local florist serving the diverse households and businesses across Whitechapel, we recognise our influence and responsibility in promoting ethical conduct. Our Modern Slavery Statement is more than a formal requirement—it is an expression of our broader commitment to the wellbeing and rights of all people involved in bringing our products and services to our valued customers. We are proud to be part of a community that expects and deserves safe, transparent, and ethical business practices.
