Modern Slavery Statement 2024 – Flower Delivery Haringey
Our Approach to Eradicating Modern Slavery
Flower Delivery Haringey is committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity. We fully recognise the serious issue of modern slavery and human trafficking, and our responsibility to ensure it has no place in our operations or supply chains. As a leading Haringey florist trusted by local households and businesses, we strive not only for the highest standards in our products and customer service, but also in our commitment to human rights and social responsibility.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Modern slavery in all its forms—including forced labour, compulsory labour, servitude, and human trafficking—has no place in our business. We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery. All Flower Delivery Haringey employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to adhere to this position. Any breach of this policy results in immediate investigation and may lead to cessation of business relationships and referral to the appropriate authorities.
Supplier Due Diligence
Ensuring the integrity of our supply chain is critical to upholding our values. Flower Delivery Haringey undertakes thorough due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers, particularly those providing flowers, plants, packaging, and related goods. We seek confirmation from suppliers that they comply with all relevant labour laws and regulations, including those prohibiting slavery and human trafficking. Our process includes:
- Requesting all suppliers to confirm they share our stance against modern slavery and to provide information about their own supply chains.
- Giving preference to suppliers with robust ethical sourcing certifications or policies in place.
- Reserving the right to conduct spot checks or request additional information if concerns arise about potential risks or breaches.
Staff Training and Awareness
We believe all staff should understand the signs of modern slavery and know how to respond to concerns. Flower Delivery Haringey provides tailored training to ensure managers and employees:
- Recognise indicators of potential exploitation or unethical conduct within the workplace or supply chain.
- Understand their obligations to report any suspicions or breaches of our policy.
- Appreciate the impact of modern slavery on individuals and the wider community.
Reporting Channels and Support
We encourage openness and support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under our policy, regardless of whether they turn out to be unfounded. Employees and suppliers are encouraged to raise any concerns or suspicions promptly through our designated reporting channels. Senior management will investigate all reports swiftly, fairly, and sensitively. We are committed to protecting anyone who voices concerns from victimisation or detrimental treatment as a result of their disclosures.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed every year to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we update our procedures, training, and supplier assessment processes in line with current legislation, best practices, and stakeholder feedback. Senior management oversees implementation and regularly reviews our progress as part of our wider ethical and social responsibility commitments.
Our Local Responsibility
Serving the Haringey community means upholding the highest standards of trust and integrity. Flower Delivery Haringey recognises that our customers expect us to source products fairly and treat people ethically at every level of our operations. We are dedicated to transparency, vigilance, and accountability to help combat modern slavery in any form, wherever it may be found.
