At Flower Delivery Aldgate, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted florist serving local households and businesses in Aldgate. Ensuring ethical practices and respecting fundamental human rights is at the heart of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking across our business and supply chains.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. Every member of Flower Delivery Aldgate is expected to uphold the highest ethical standards. Our position is clear: we do not, under any circumstances, condone any form of exploitation. Any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery within our operations or those of our suppliers will prompt immediate action to investigate and rectify.
As we source our flowers, materials, and associated products, we only partner with reputable suppliers who share our values. Before beginning any new supplier relationship, we conduct rigorous due diligence to assess each supplier’s employment practices, ethical commitments, and compliance with anti-slavery laws. This includes requesting evidence of their policies, conducting risk assessments, and, where appropriate, seeking confirmation of their own Modern Slavery Statements. Ongoing relationships are reviewed regularly, and any concerns are swiftly addressed.
Flower Delivery Aldgate believes that properly informed staff are crucial in tackling the risks of modern slavery. We ensure that all relevant employees, from management to those involved in procurement and deliveries, receive comprehensive training on recognising signs of exploitation and understanding our policies. Annual refresher sessions keep staff updated on changes in legislation and our internal procedures, empowering them to act in line with best practices.
We provide clear, accessible internal reporting channels to help staff, suppliers, or customers raise any concerns or suspicions about slavery or unethical practices. All reports are treated seriously, confidentially, and are thoroughly investigated by senior management. We encourage a culture of openness and responsibility, reassuring individuals they can report concerns without fear of retaliation.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by Flower Delivery Aldgate’s management team. Through these reviews, we evaluate the effectiveness of our policies and supply chain due diligence procedures, identifying further opportunities to strengthen our stance. We stay informed of relevant legal developments and sector best practices, aiming to lead by example in our community.
Being a prominent florist in the Aldgate area, we take our ethical obligations seriously. We are committed to not only meeting but exceeding legal requirements in order to preserve the trust placed in us by our customers, employees, suppliers, and the wider community. This statement reflects our unwavering stance against modern slavery in any form and our dedication to continuous improvement in safeguarding human rights.
