As a leading florist in Canning Town, Flowers Canning Town is committed to upholding human rights and promoting ethical practices throughout our operations and supply chain. Modern slavery, which encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced labour, has no place in our business or among our suppliers. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent and address modern slavery in accordance with our responsibilities as a reputable business serving Canning Town households and enterprises.
Flowers Canning Town maintains a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery. We are steadfast in ensuring that all aspects of our business, and those of our supply chain partners, are free from practices associated with modern slavery. Any suspicion or evidence of such activities is met with immediate action, including reviewing supplier relationships or reporting to the proper authorities where appropriate.
We recognise that the majority of the risk relating to modern slavery resides within our supply chain. To mitigate this, we undertake thorough due diligence when onboarding new suppliers and conducting regular checks of existing partners. Our procedures include evaluating suppliers’ policies on labour standards, reviewing their compliance with local and international laws, and assessing their supply chain transparency. Suppliers are asked to confirm in writing their adherence to these standards as a condition of doing business with Flowers Canning Town.
Educating our staff is a key element in our fight against modern slavery. Team members working in procurement, management, and operations receive ongoing training to recognise signs of modern slavery and to understand the actions required if concerns arise. Regular briefings ensure our staff remain vigilant and informed about new developments in ethical procurement and relevant legislation.
We encourage a culture of openness and responsibility among staff, suppliers, and others working in our supply chain. Any concerns regarding potential modern slavery or human trafficking can be reported through established internal channels on a confidential basis. All reports are treated seriously and investigated swiftly, with appropriate action taken where necessary.
Our commitment to combating modern slavery is an ongoing process. We review our policies, procedures, and the effectiveness of our actions against modern slavery at least annually. Each review allows us to incorporate lessons learned, adapt to new risks, and update our processes where needed. We remain vigilant and proactive in our efforts to strengthen our stance against modern slavery in every aspect of our business.
Flowers Canning Town recognises the trust that local households and businesses place in us, not only for our floral products and services but also for our ethical values. We are proud to play our part in upholding these values and promoting a supply chain rooted in respect, fairness, and dignity for all. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our determination to be a reliable and responsible florist for the Canning Town community.
