As a respected florist serving households and businesses across the Isle of Dogs, Flower Delivery Isle of Dogs recognises our vital responsibility in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and wider supply chain. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and to ensuring that every aspect of our business reflects these values.
Flower Delivery Isle of Dogs has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking. This includes any form of exploitation of children, adults, or vulnerable people. We are dedicated to acting with integrity and transparency in all our business dealings, implementing robust controls to remove any risk of modern slavery within our operations and those of our suppliers.
We understand that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any point along the supply chain. As such, we only work with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices. All potential and existing suppliers are subject to a comprehensive due diligence process, which includes the requirement for written confirmation that they comply with anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking legislation. Any concerns or findings raised during this process are fully investigated before a supplier relationship is commenced or continued. Should evidence of non-compliance arise, immediate action is taken, including the potential termination of supply agreements.
Our team is fundamental to delivering on our ethical commitments. Flower Delivery Isle of Dogs provides regular training and awareness to all staff, ensuring they understand what modern slavery is, how to recognise the signs, and what actions to take should they encounter anything suspicious. This training reinforces our policies and fosters a culture where ethical conduct is second nature.
We encourage openness and support any member of staff, supplier, or other stakeholder in reporting genuine concerns related to modern slavery. This can be done confidentially through our internal reporting channels. We commit to investigating all raised complaints thoroughly, responding appropriately, and ensuring that anyone reporting concerns in good faith suffers no retaliation or disadvantage.
Flower Delivery Isle of Dogs conducts an annual review of our modern slavery policy and procedures. This review takes into account any changes in legislation, best practice guidance, the results of supplier audits, and feedback from staff and stakeholders. We are committed to continually improving our processes to mitigate any risks, strengthening our defences against modern slavery in all its forms.
This statement articulates the steps Flower Delivery Isle of Dogs takes to identify, prevent, and address instances of modern slavery and human trafficking. It reflects our responsibility as a trusted local florist to the Isle of Dogs community. We will continue to review and enhance our measures to ensure that the values of respect, dignity, and ethical conduct remain at the heart of our business, for the benefit of our customers, our people, and the wider community.
