Modern Slavery Statement from Flower Delivery Tulse Hill
Statement of Commitment
At Flower Delivery Tulse Hill, we are dedicated to conducting our business with integrity and maintaining the highest ethical standards. As a trusted local florist serving both Tulse Hill households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to prevent slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This statement describes our ongoing commitment and steps to address and mitigate the risks of modern slavery in line with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We enforce a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This policy applies across every aspect of our business, including our shop, staff, logistics, and—crucially—our suppliers. We expect that anyone acting on behalf of Flower Delivery Tulse Hill shares these values and complies fully with relevant legislation and ethical standards.
Supplier Due Diligence
Flowers and materials that we source must originate from ethical, responsible suppliers who themselves operate a zero tolerance stance on modern slavery. To uphold this mandate, we conduct thorough risk assessments and due diligence on all new suppliers prior to engagement. This includes obtaining details on employment practices, compliance with labour laws, and supply chain transparency. We regularly review relationships with existing suppliers, and require assurances that they operate in full accordance with our ethical expectations. If any supplier fails to meet our standards, we take immediate steps—which may include terminating agreements—to ensure compliance throughout our supply chain.
Staff Training and Awareness
We provide ongoing training to all our staff to help them identify potential signs of modern slavery and understand the importance of vigilance. Training includes recognizing indicators of forced or unethical labour, as well as familiarisation with our reporting procedures. This empowers our team to maintain high ethical awareness during every stage of our day-to-day activities and interactions with suppliers or third parties.
Reporting Channels
To ensure issues can be reported swiftly and with confidence, we have clear internal procedures in place. All staff and business partners are encouraged to raise suspicions or concerns, no matter how small or uncertain. These reports are handled sensitively and without fear of reprisal, with information treated in the strictest confidence. All concerns are investigated thoroughly and appropriate action is taken if needed. Our open reporting culture is central to our proactive stance on preventing modern slavery.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We review our modern slavery policy and procedures annually to ensure that they remain robust and effective. These reviews take into account legal updates, risks identified, and industry best practice improvements. The latest review outcomes are shared across our team and inform our continuous improvement approach to tackling modern slavery risks.
Our Local Responsibility
Our dedication to preventing modern slavery reflects our responsibility as a trusted Tulse Hill florist serving the local community. We are proud to deliver not only beautiful floral arrangements but also assurance that our products are the result of fair, ethical, and legal employment practices. We remain vigilant and committed to upholding these values for the benefit of our customers, staff, and the wider community.
