Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Wapping

Statement of Commitment

At Flower Delivery Wapping, we are resolutely committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chains. As a trusted Wapping florist serving both households and local businesses, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and ensure that all aspects of our business reflect respect for human rights and fair working conditions.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate with a strict zero-tolerance approach towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. Our position is clear: any instance or suspicion of such unethical practices within our operations, or those of our suppliers, will not be tolerated. This principle is at the heart of our policies and underpins our commitment to protecting the welfare of everyone in our supply chain.

Supplier Due Diligence

Our flowers and packaging are sourced from reputable and trusted suppliers. Before entering into partnerships, we conduct detailed due diligence to assess each supplier's own modern slavery policies and practices. This review includes an evaluation of their adherence to labour laws, workplace conditions, and commitment to ethical standards. We request compliance statements from suppliers and, where necessary, may carry out audits or seek additional proof of responsible behaviour. Any supplier failing to meet our standards is subject to remedial action or, if necessary, termination of the business relationship.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe that empowering our staff with knowledge is vital to preventing and detecting modern slavery. Comprehensive training is provided to all employees, covering the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, responsibilities under our policy, and guidance on how to respond to concerns. Training is refreshed regularly to ensure ongoing awareness, and updates are provided whenever there are changes to relevant legislation or our internal policies.

Reporting Channels

To ensure transparency and foster a proactive reporting culture, Flower Delivery Wapping has established clear channels for employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to raise concerns confidentially. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly, with strict protection against victimisation or retaliation for whistleblowers. We are committed to acting swiftly to investigate and address any issues that are flagged.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to reflect any changes in our business activities, supplier relationships, or relevant legislation. The annual review process allows us to measure the effectiveness of our actions, identify areas for further improvement, and reinforce our ongoing dedication to eradicating slavery and exploitation from our supply chain. Progress and new developments are shared with our team and, where appropriate, our suppliers.

Our Responsibility to the Wapping Community

As a dedicated florist in Wapping, Flower Delivery Wapping embraces our wider responsibility to act with integrity for our customers, staff, and partners. We strive to ensure that the flowers, gifts, and services we provide are sourced and delivered without exploitation, supporting a fair, ethical, and just environment for all. Our ongoing efforts are part of our promise to operate as a florist that the Wapping community can trust.
