At Flowers Little Ilford, we pride ourselves on being a trusted local florist serving the diverse households and businesses of Little Ilford. As part of our responsibility to our community, we are dedicated to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within every part of our business operations and supply chain.
Flowers Little Ilford has a strict zero tolerance policy towards any forms of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. We believe that every individual should have the right to work freely and fairly, and that dignity and respect must be at the core of every interaction within our business and supply chain.
We carefully select and review our suppliers and vendors to ensure that they uphold the same high standards that we set for ourselves. All suppliers are required to provide assurances that their operations and those of their own suppliers do not engage in modern slavery or human trafficking practices. We reserve the right to cease working with any supplier found to be breaching these principles, regardless of contract term or business value.
Our procurement process involves assessment criteria including ethical sourcing, fair employment practices, and transparency. Regular reviews are carried out for existing suppliers, and all new partnerships undergo strict due diligence prior to engagement.
We believe that awareness and education are vital to combating modern slavery. All Flowers Little Ilford staff members are given training to recognize the signs of modern slavery and understand the actions to be taken if they ever suspect unethical practices. This training also emphasises the importance of sourcing responsibly and knowing the origins of our products and services.
We foster a culture of openness, integrity, and responsibility. Any concerns about potential breaches or suspicions of modern slavery are taken extremely seriously. We offer clear and confidential reporting channels for staff and suppliers to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. These procedures are regularly communicated and reviewed to ensure effectiveness and accessibility for all stakeholders.
Our Modern Slavery Statement and the related policies and actions are reviewed annually to ensure they remain robust, progressive, and effective. We incorporate new legislative requirements, best practices, and feedback from our staff, suppliers, and customers. This ongoing process enables us to adapt, evolve, and continually improve our approach to fighting modern slavery.
As a florist trusted by the Little Ilford community, we understand that our reputation is grounded not only in the quality of our flowers but also in the integrity of our business practices. Flowers Little Ilford is committed to the highest ethical standards and expects nothing less from all parties we engage with. Through vigilance, transparency, and partnership, we will continue working towards a supply chain and workplace where modern slavery has no place.
