Flower Delivery Highbury Modern Slavery Statement

Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Highbury, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and responsibility as a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Highbury. We recognize that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation, remains a global and local issue. Our commitment is unwavering: we have a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We categorically reject any practices connected to modern slavery or human exploitation. We are dedicated to ensuring that our workplace is free from such activities, and we expect the same high standards from our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any breach of this policy will not be tolerated and may result in the termination of business relationships and, if appropriate, involvement of relevant authorities.

Supplier Due Diligence

Flower Delivery Highbury sources flowers and ancillary products from reputable suppliers. As part of our ongoing due diligence, we assess our direct suppliers and, where possible, their supply chains, to identify and address potential risks relating to modern slavery. Before entering into any agreements, we require suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery laws. Our contracts include clear obligations that forbid the use of forced, involuntary, or child labour. We reserve the right to audit or request evidence from suppliers to ensure adherence to these strict standards.

Training and Awareness for Staff

We believe that raising awareness among our team plays a key role in preventing modern slavery. All staff, including management and frontline employees, receive training on identifying potential signs of modern slavery and understanding our procedures for handling concerns. Training is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect new legislation, best practices, and any identified risks relevant to the flower industry.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

An open culture is fundamental to our operations. Any staff member or stakeholder with concerns about modern slavery, whether within our business or throughout our suppliers’ chains, is encouraged to raise their concern without fear of retaliation. We provide secure, accessible reporting channels, and all disclosures are treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly. Whistleblowers are supported throughout the process to ensure their wellbeing and protection.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We are committed to reviewing our Modern Slavery Statement, policies, and procedures at least annually. This review enables us to identify areas for improvement, reflect on the effectiveness of our controls, update staff training programs, and adapt supplier checks based on emerging risks or changes within the industry. Our commitment to transparency means this statement is made available to our customers and suppliers, reaffirming our dedication to an ethical and responsible business.

Our Responsibility as a Trusted Florist

Flower Delivery Highbury is proud to serve the people and businesses of Highbury. We believe that this responsibility extends beyond delivering beautiful flowers—it requires that we uphold the values of dignity, respect, and fairness in all our undertakings. By maintaining robust measures to prevent modern slavery, we reinforce our role as a business you can trust.
