At Flowers East Ham, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted local florist serving households and businesses across East Ham. We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place within our business, supply chain, or the wider community we serve. This statement details the measures we have implemented and our ongoing efforts to combat such injustices in every facet of our operations.
Modern slavery, in any form—whether forced labour, human trafficking, abuse, or discrimination—is completely unacceptable. Flowers East Ham operates under a clear, zero-tolerance policy towards any practices associated with modern slavery. Our commitment goes beyond compliance; it is a cornerstone of our ethical standards and how we do business with all partners, suppliers, and staff.
We carefully vet all our suppliers to ensure they understand and comply with our strict ethical guidelines. Our suppliers are required to demonstrate that they operate fair, safe, and ethical working environments. Due diligence measures include requesting information about their own supply chains, labour policies, and workplace practices. Should we detect any risks or evidence of unsafe or unethical conduct, we act promptly—up to and including the cessation of the business relationship.
Our staff are vital in helping us maintain our zero-tolerance stance and detect early warning signs of modern slavery. Through regular training and communication, all employees at Flowers East Ham are equipped to spot risks, understand reporting protocols, and maintain our high standards within the business and community. This ongoing education helps reinforce the importance of vigilance and keeps anti-slavery considerations integral to our culture.
We provide multiple channels for staff, suppliers, and members of our community to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of reprisal. All concerns regarding modern slavery, unethical behaviour, or suspicious activity—whether within our business or along the supply chain—are taken seriously and investigated swiftly. We are committed to ensuring that reporting is straightforward and concerns are addressed with integrity and urgency.
Flowers East Ham reviews this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated procedures annually to guarantee their effectiveness. We examine changes in our supply chain, industry best practices, and legislation to strengthen our policies year on year. This annual review allows us to proactively address new risks and uphold our responsibilities as a reliable and ethical local florist.
We believe ethical business is fundamental to our standing in the East Ham community. As a florist serving local households and businesses, Flowers East Ham is determined to set high standards that reflect the trust placed in us. Preventing and addressing the risks of modern slavery not only fulfils our legal obligations, but also respects and honours the values of our customers and neighbours.
This Modern Slavery Statement outlines Flowers East Ham’s unwavering commitment to eradicating modern slavery from our business and supply chains. We encourage everyone associated with Flowers East Ham to join us in upholding these standards and building a safer, fairer community for all.
