At Flowers Shoreditch, we stand firmly against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We recognise the profound responsibility we hold as trusted florists serving households and businesses throughout Shoreditch. This Modern Slavery Statement articulates our unwavering commitment to ethical practices across our business operations and wider supply chains. We adopt a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, aligning our values with both the letter and spirit of legal and ethical standards.
We have a robust, zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery and forced labour. All staff, from management to new recruits, are made explicitly aware that any involvement in— or connection to— practices that enable human trafficking, forced labour, or exploitation will result in decisive action. We refuse to knowingly work with any business, supplier, or individual found to participate in or facilitate such practices.
Flowers Shoreditch understands that ethical sourcing is essential in the floristry industry, given the complex supply chains often involved in procuring flowers and associated products. To this end, we conduct supplier due diligence by requesting transparency in sourcing practices and contractual compliance with anti-slavery legislation. Our supplier onboarding process includes risk assessments and a requirement for suppliers to confirm adherence to our anti-slavery principles. We seek to foster long-term partnerships only with those suppliers who share our commitment to eradicating slavery and exploitation at every level of the supply chain.
All Flowers Shoreditch employees receive training on modern slavery risks and our anti-slavery policy. Training sessions ensure staff are equipped to recognise potential signs of modern slavery, both within our own workplace and among suppliers. We further reinforce our zero tolerance culture through ongoing communications and visible signage in staff common areas to maintain constant awareness and vigilance on the issue.
We ensure all staff feel safe and supported in raising any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices. Complaint and whistleblowing procedures are in place, allowing employees and contractors to confidentially report suspicions about possible occurrence of modern slavery. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed with utmost sensitivity.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually, or when significant changes occur within our business or supply chain. The review process involves assessing the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures and identifying areas for improvement. We do not view compliance as a one-off exercise; rather, it is part of a continuous effort to adapt and enhance our standards in line with best practice and evolving legislation.
Flowers Shoreditch is proud to be part of a vibrant local community, serving both households and businesses with integrity and care. Our commitment to combatting modern slavery is not only a legal obligation but also a reflection of our ethical responsibility as a trusted neighbourhood florist. We believe that transparency, vigilance, and collaboration are the cornerstones of building a community free from exploitation.
