As a trusted community florist, Flower Delivery Barking is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and social responsibility in all aspects of our operations. Modern slavery, encompassing slavery, servitude, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking, represents an unacceptable violation of fundamental human rights. Our presence as a reputable florist serving local households and businesses in Barking is underpinned by our dedication to fairness, dignity, and ethical stewardship. Through this statement, we reaffirm our continued commitment to preventing any form of modern slavery within our business and supply chains.
Flower Delivery Barking operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We recognise our responsibility not only to our employees and customers but also to each individual who may be touched by our supply chains. Any form of exploitation is fundamentally incompatible with our values as a local florist. Compliance with anti-slavery laws and best practices is a non-negotiable aspect of our ethos, and this expectation is extended to all teams, contractors, and suppliers affiliated with us.
We acknowledge that ethical vigilance must extend beyond our immediate workforce to encompass our supply partners, many of whom are integral to our daily business, from fresh flower growers and wholesalers to logistics providers. Flower Delivery Barking undertakes stringent due diligence before entering into supplier relationships. This process includes evaluating the supplier’s own policies regarding modern slavery, reviewing their labour practices, and seeking written assurances of compliance. We seek to work only with suppliers who demonstrate an unwavering commitment to ethical labour standards and reserve the right to discontinue business with any partner found in violation of these principles.
We believe ongoing education is essential in combating modern slavery. All staff members at Flower Delivery Barking are required to undergo regular training on how to identify signs of modern slavery, understand the risks associated with different roles and sectors, and become familiar with company policies pertaining to ethical conduct. This training is designed to promote vigilance, equip individuals to identify and challenge unacceptable practices, and foster a safe and supportive workplace culture where responsible action is the norm.
To ensure our zero tolerance policy is actionable and robust, Flower Delivery Barking has established clear internal channels for reporting any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. All staff are encouraged to report suspicions confidentially without fear of retaliation, and every report is taken seriously and investigated thoroughly by management. Open and honest communication remains central to our approach, and we reaffirm our commitment to supporting whistleblowers who help maintain our high standards.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect our evolving understanding of slavery risks and to adapt our procedures as necessary. We hold ourselves accountable to continuous improvement, seeking out industry best practices, consulting external guidance where appropriate, and updating staff training and supply chain oversight accordingly. Progress against these commitments is overseen at the highest level of management to ensure integrity and transparency.
As a leading Barking florist serving local households and businesses, Flower Delivery Barking understands the vital importance of trust and community respect. By actively confronting the risks of modern slavery in our operations and partnerships, we seek not only to protect human rights but also to set an example within the floristry sector. We are dedicated to maintaining an ethical, fair, and safe supply chain for the benefit of all stakeholders.
