Flowers Canary Wharf is steadfast in our commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards and operating with absolute integrity. As a trusted florist in the Canary Wharf area, serving households and businesses alike, we take our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking seriously. We operate under a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and expect the same ethical stance from our suppliers, partners, and employees.
We recognise that the floral industry is part of a global supply chain that can be vulnerable to unethical practices. Therefore, we conduct rigorous due diligence on all new and existing suppliers, ensuring they share our values and adhere to national and international anti-slavery laws. Our due diligence process includes collecting evidence of compliance, requesting supplier policies on labour standards, and, when necessary, conducting on-site visits and audits. We expressly require all suppliers to confirm that they do not engage in or permit forced labour, bonded labour, or human trafficking in any form.
We also reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier found to be in breach of our ethical policies. We are committed to building long-lasting relationships only with those who demonstrate ongoing respect for fundamental human rights.
Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is underpinned by ensuring team-wide understanding. All employees at Flowers Canary Wharf receive training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. This training covers potential risks in our supply chains and day-to-day operations, and provides practical guidance on reporting suspicions or concerns.
By raising awareness among our staff, we aim to create a culture of vigilance, integrity, and responsibility that extends throughout our organisation and beyond.
Flowers Canary Wharf encourages staff, suppliers, and members of the public to raise concerns regarding any suspicion of modern slavery or human trafficking connected to our business. We have put in place clear and secure internal channels for the reporting of such concerns. Any report will be treated in strict confidence and investigated fully by appropriate senior management.
We will always act swiftly and decisively in response to genuine concerns, taking both immediate corrective measures and preventive actions to address root causes where required. Reporting can be done in person, by letter, or through our established internal methods, with absolute assurance that there will be no retaliation against whistleblowers acting in good faith.
Our approach to preventing modern slavery is subject to continuous observation and improvement. Each year, Flowers Canary Wharf conducts an annual review of this policy and its effectiveness in safeguarding against slavery and human trafficking within both our operations and our supply chain. Findings are used to update staff training, inform supplier vetting criteria, and enhance our monitoring methods as necessary.
Flowers Canary Wharf is proud to serve the local community with integrity and ethical responsibility at the forefront of everything we do. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our commitment to ensuring that our business, and those we partner with, take meaningful steps to eradicate modern slavery today and in the future.
