Modern Slavery Statement – Our Commitment to Ethical Practices
Our Approach to Modern Slavery
As a well-established florist serving the Seven Sisters community, Flower Delivery Seven Sisters is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in every aspect of our business. We recognise our responsibility as a trusted supplier to households and businesses throughout the area, and are committed to preventing modern slavery in our own operations and within our supply chains.
Zero Tolerance on Modern Slavery
We have a clear and unequivocal zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. This applies both within our own business activities and across all those who supply us with goods or services. We believe everyone has the right to work freely, in safe and fair conditions, and refuse to engage with suppliers or partners who compromise these values.
Supplier Due Diligence
Flower Delivery Seven Sisters sources products and services from a range of trusted suppliers. We conduct appropriate due diligence to ensure that every supplier upholds human rights and ethical employment practices. Our evaluation process includes requesting confirmation of compliance with anti-slavery legislation, reviewing supplier modern slavery statements (where applicable), and seeking assurances that their workforce is employed voluntarily and lawfully. Where possible, we prioritize working with suppliers who share our values and demonstrate a robust approach to eradicating modern slavery.
Staff Awareness and Training
We provide all our staff with relevant information and training to raise awareness of modern slavery and its signs. This education empowers our team to identify and report any concerns relating to suspected exploitation, human trafficking, or unethical labour practices, whether in our direct workplace or through our supply chain contacts. Our induction process for new employees includes an overview of our expectations regarding ethical conduct and detailed information about our reporting channels.
Reporting Channels
Flower Delivery Seven Sisters is committed to fostering an open culture where employees, customers, and suppliers feel safe to raise concerns. We have established confidential internal channels for reporting any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery. We pledge that all reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed appropriately. No individual will suffer any disadvantage for raising a genuine concern in good faith.
Annual Statement Review
We review this modern slavery statement on an annual basis to ensure its suitability and effectiveness. This includes reviewing updates to legislation, best practice guidance, and feedback received from our team and business partners. All necessary adjustments are made to strengthen our approach and policies. Senior management takes ultimate responsibility for the implementation and ongoing development of our anti-slavery measures.
Our Ongoing Commitment
Our stance against modern slavery reflects not only our legal obligations but also our ethical responsibilities as a Seven Sisters florist trusted by local residents and businesses. We will continue to monitor, review, and enhance our procedures to ensure our business is free from modern slavery, and that our values of integrity, respect, and fairness are upheld at every level.
