Our Commitment to Tackling Modern Slavery

Modern Slavery Statement

Flower Delivery St John's Wood is committed to conducting our operations with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chain. As a trusted florist serving the St John's Wood community—both households and local businesses—we recognise our responsibility to champion human rights, uphold fairness, and maintain transparency in our operations.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We believe that all individuals deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and we ensure these principles underpin every part of our business. This zero tolerance stance is communicated across our organisation and to all our suppliers, partners, and contractors.

Supplier Due Diligence

Recognising that floristry relies on both local and global supply chains, we conduct thorough due diligence on all suppliers before engaging in business with them. We require suppliers to confirm their own compliance with laws related to anti-slavery and human trafficking, and we favour partners who demonstrate clear ethical standards within their own organisations. Our ongoing supplier review process involves regular assessments and, where practical, site visits or requests for evidence concerning labour practices and employment conditions.

Staff Training and Awareness

We provide comprehensive training to our staff to help them identify risks or signs of modern slavery and raise awareness about responsible sourcing within the floral industry. Training sessions include guidance on relevant laws, recognising warning signals, and understanding the reporting protocol. By empowering our team, we maintain an informed and vigilant workforce, fully aligned with our ethical standards.

Reporting Channels

We are committed to fostering an environment where staff, suppliers, and even customers are encouraged and able to report any concerns regarding potential modern slavery or unethical practice. All concerns are handled confidentially and with sensitivity, supported by clear internal reporting channels. Reports are thoroughly investigated, and necessary actions are taken promptly and effectively where concerns are substantiated.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

To ensure our commitment is maintained and enhanced, our modern slavery policies and practices are reviewed annually by senior management. This review process involves evaluating supplier performance, analysing the effectiveness of staff training, and considering stakeholder feedback. Where weaknesses are identified, action plans are implemented to drive continuous improvement.

Our Responsibility to the Community

Serving the diverse community of St John's Wood comes with a responsibility to lead by example and foster trust. Our approach to modern slavery is integral to how we do business, reinforcing our reputation as an ethical and reliable flower delivery service. We remain vigilant, challenge unethical practices wherever they occur, and strive to create a safe, fair, and transparent environment for all individuals involved with our business.

This Modern Slavery Statement is endorsed by the leadership of Flower Delivery St John's Wood and will continue to evolve in line with best practice and changes in legislation, reflecting our unwavering commitment to ethical standards within the floral industry and the wider community.
