Our Commitment to Ethical Floristry: Modern Slavery Statement

Our Approach to Modern Slavery

Flower Delivery Honor Oak is committed to operating with the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. As a trusted florist serving the Honor Oak community’s households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery, human trafficking, or any form of forced labor does not occur within our own business or our supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we take to tackle modern slavery and our zero tolerance policy to such practices.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We uphold a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not condone or accept any kind of forced, coerced, or bonded labor within any aspect of our business operations or those of our suppliers. We expect those with whom we do business to share this commitment and actively work to eradicate such practices wherever they might exist.

Supplier Due Diligence

In recognition of the risks of modern slavery within global supply chains, we are diligent in assessing and monitoring our suppliers. We require all suppliers of flowers, materials, and services to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws and provide transparent information about their own supply chains. Supplier contracts include explicit requirements to abide by our anti-slavery principles, and we reserve the right to audit suppliers and terminate relationships with those who do not uphold our standards.

Staff Training & Awareness

Our staff is fundamental to maintaining our ethical standards. We invest in ongoing training for all employees so that they can recognise, report, and prevent any circumstances that may suggest modern slavery or exploitation. Training ensures every team member understands how to spot signs of modern slavery, the correct steps to take when concerns arise, and the broader impact of our actions as part of the local Honor Oak community.

Reporting Channels

We encourage both employees and external parties to speak up if they encounter or suspect any instances of modern slavery or unethical behavior. We have established clear internal reporting procedures that guarantee confidentiality, safety, and non-retaliation. These channels are regularly communicated to all staff, with a clear process for escalating serious concerns. Our management team takes every report seriously and commits to investigating and addressing each issue appropriately.

Annual Review & Continuous Improvement

We thoroughly review our modern slavery policies and procedures at least annually to ensure their ongoing relevance and effectiveness. This includes assessing the impact of our actions, updating risk assessments, and incorporating latest best practices and legislative changes. We engage with staff and suppliers during these reviews, strengthening our collective responsibility in tackle modern slavery. Where new risks are identified, we act rapidly to update our policies and, when needed, provide additional support and training.
