At Flower Delivery Poplar, we maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. We recognize that modern slavery remains a hidden blight on society and are fully committed to ensuring that our organisation and our supply chains are free from any form of slavery and exploitation. As a trusted local florist serving households and businesses across Poplar, we consider it our duty to uphold the highest ethical standards and ensure the well-being and rights of everyone connected to our service.
We are conscious that our flowers, materials, and goods may pass through a complex network of growers, suppliers, and distributors. Accordingly, we conduct thorough due diligence before agreeing to work with any supplier or business partner. This includes assessing the risk of modern slavery in their operations and requesting information about their policies and practices regarding ethical labour standards. We give strong preference to suppliers who clearly demonstrate their own commitment to eliminating forced labour, child labour, and any form of exploitation within their supply chains. Should any supplier fail to meet our standards or be unwilling to cooperate with our measures, we will reconsider or terminate our business relationship with them.
The values of respect, dignity, and awareness are embedded in the culture at Flower Delivery Poplar. All employees and contract staff are provided with training to recognise the signs of modern slavery, understand our reporting channels, and feel confident about raising any concerns. We regularly review and update our training materials to ensure our staff are informed of the latest risks and best practices. By empowering our team with knowledge and vigilance, we help protect not only our workforce but also contribute to wider community safety.
We believe that transparency and safety in reporting are crucial to identifying and addressing any potential issues related to modern slavery. Our staff are encouraged to speak up about any concerns through clearly defined internal reporting procedures. These channels ensure confidentiality and protect whistleblowers from any form of retaliation or discrimination. All reports are taken seriously, promptly investigated, and addressed with appropriate action. Our staff handbook includes detailed guidance on how to report concerns and what support is available to those who come forward.
To ensure our modern slavery measures remain robust and effective, Flower Delivery Poplar commits to reviewing this statement and all related procedures on an annual basis. Each year, we assess the performance of our policies, evaluate potential new risks within our business and supply chains, and update our actions as needed. We are dedicated to continuous improvement and stay up-to-date with emerging legal requirements and best practice recommendations concerning modern slavery in the flower industry and beyond.
As a florist rooted in the Poplar community, we know our customers trust us to act responsibly and ethically in every transaction. This statement is an expression of our ongoing commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking, reflecting our promise to those we serve—households, businesses, and the wider community of Poplar.
