At Flowers Hackney Wick, we recognise the importance of conducting our business with integrity and transparency. As a trusted florist serving the diverse households and businesses of Hackney Wick, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards across all areas of our operations. We have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking, and we are committed to preventing these crimes within our own activities and throughout our supply chains.
Flowers Hackney Wick has implemented a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We do not engage in or condone any practices that exploit vulnerable individuals, either directly or indirectly, and we expect the same high standards from all suppliers, partners, and contractors. Our commitment is built into company policies, codes of conduct, and ongoing business practices, ensuring ethical behaviour at every level.
We understand that the greatest risk of modern slavery may occur within complex supply chains. Flowers Hackney Wick conducts thorough due diligence on all suppliers before entering into business relationships. This due diligence process includes assessing supplier policies on human rights and labour, evaluating their working practices, and seeking evidence that they operate free from exploitation. Suppliers are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which emphasizes our prohibition of modern slavery and highlights our commitment to fair, safe, and respectful working conditions. Regular reviews of our suppliers and their operations are undertaken to ensure ongoing compliance with these values.
Education is central to ensuring all staff at Flowers Hackney Wick understand their responsibilities. We provide training to new and existing staff so they can identify signs of modern slavery and are fully aware of the risks that may arise within floristry and supply chains. By raising awareness, sharing best practices, and staying informed about developments in legislation and guidance, we equip our team to contribute actively to our anti-slavery efforts.
We encourage openness and support anyone who wishes to raise genuine concerns regarding suspected modern slavery practices. Staff, suppliers, and members of the public are encouraged to report suspicions, without fear of retaliation. Clear and confidential channels for reporting concerns are in place with information made available in-store and in staff trainings. Every report received is investigated promptly by management, and necessary actions are taken in line with our zero tolerance approach.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our associated practices are reviewed annually by Flowers Hackney Wick’s management. This review ensures our approach remains effective and up-to-date with legal, ethical, and industry developments. Where improvement opportunities are identified, we take action to bolster our response and further minimise risks of modern slavery across our operations and supply chains.
Our stance against modern slavery reflects our ongoing responsibility as an integral part of the Hackney Wick community. We value the trust households and local businesses place in us and are committed to upholding ethical standards that support human rights, dignity, and fairness in everything we do. Flowers Hackney Wick will continue to work diligently, together with our staff and suppliers, to prevent exploitation and support an inclusive, safe environment for all.
