At Flower Delivery Barnsbury, we recognise our vital responsibility as a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Barnsbury. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and social responsibility throughout our operations and supply chain, including a zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. The following statement sets out the steps we are taking to ensure our services and products are delivered in a manner consistent with our values and responsibilities.
Flower Delivery Barnsbury operates with a clear and unequivocal zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking. We prohibit any form of exploitation within our own operations and expect our suppliers, contractors, and business partners to do the same. Everyone representing our company is held to this standard, and any breach is treated with utmost seriousness. We continually seek to strengthen our policy through regular assessments and updates, ensuring it reflects the latest legal requirements and best practices.
The flowers and floral products we offer are sourced according to strict supplier due diligence protocols. We assess existing and new suppliers to verify their ethical standards and require clear evidence of their own anti-slavery and human trafficking policies. As part of our selection process, we review their employment practices, audit results, and relevant certifications. For ongoing relationships, we maintain regular contact and conduct periodic reviews to ensure continued compliance. Where suppliers fall short of our standards, we act decisively, up to and including terminating the relationship.
An essential element of our anti-slavery commitment is training. All members of staff, from florists to delivery drivers and administrative colleagues, receive training that enables them to identify potential signs of modern slavery and forced labour both within our own business and further along our supply chain. This training is refreshed annually and also offered when any significant changes to slavery legislation or known risks arise. Our staff are encouraged to champion our ethical culture and are empowered to raise concerns without fear of reprisal.
We are dedicated to transparency and foster an open environment where staff, suppliers, and even customers can report concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Multiple reporting channels are in place to ensure concerns can be raised confidentially and sensitively. All reports are investigated and dealt with appropriately, with steps taken to remedy any confirmed malpractice or abuse. We continue to strengthen our support for whistleblowers, recognising their invaluable role in protecting vulnerable individuals and upholding our standards.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by the Flower Delivery Barnsbury management team to ensure it remains robust and effective. Any changes in legislation, best practice guidance, or the broader risk landscape are factored into our review process. We are committed to ongoing improvement, seeking new ways to reduce risk, strengthen supplier engagement, and better educate our team and partners.
We recognise that our reputation as a trusted local florist serving Barnsbury’s residents and businesses is built on ethical practice and accountability. By actively addressing and preventing modern slavery, we reinforce our commitment to our community, customers, and the broader environment we operate in. Flower Delivery Barnsbury pledges to continue taking every possible step to ensure our work is free from exploitation and always upholds the dignity of every individual involved.
