At Flower Delivery Harlesden, we are resolute in our commitment to ethical business practices and the eradication of modern slavery in all its forms. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Harlesden, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that our operations, supply chains, and partnerships are free from exploitation, forced labour, and human trafficking.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. This means there is no place for forced labour, servitude, or any form of exploitation within our business or among our suppliers. If any incident of modern slavery is suspected or identified, we are committed to taking swift, decisive action, including reporting to regulatory authorities and terminating supplier relationships if necessary.
Our flowers are sourced both locally and internationally, and we understand that vigilance is essential at every stage of our supply chain. Before engaging with new suppliers, we conduct thorough due diligence, which includes assessing their compliance with anti-slavery regulations, reviewing their labour practices, and requiring evidence of ethical sourcing. We prefer to work with suppliers who share our high standards and values regarding human rights and fair working conditions. Ongoing monitoring ensures continued compliance, and we regularly review our supplier contracts to include explicit clauses relating to modern slavery prevention.
All team members at Flower Delivery Harlesden receive comprehensive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery, understanding our policy, and familiarising themselves with relevant laws. Training is renewed annually, and new employees receive induction information on our ethical commitments. We believe that empowering our staff with this knowledge plays a vital role in safeguarding against exploitation both within our premises and throughout our supply chain.
We actively encourage a culture of openness and integrity. Every employee, supplier, and customer is urged to report any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery with confidence that their concerns will be taken seriously and treated in strict confidence. We have clear, accessible channels in place for confidential and anonymous reporting and are committed to providing protection from retaliation for whistleblowers. All reports are investigated thoroughly and appropriate actions are taken in response to any substantiated claims.
We conduct an annual review of our modern slavery policies and practices to ensure ongoing effectiveness and to reflect changes in legislation or best practice. Each year, we evaluate our supplier risk assessments, staff training, reporting mechanisms, and the outcomes of any cases or reports, if applicable. These reviews allow us to identify areas of improvement and ensure our operations continue to align with our ethical obligations.
As a valued part of the Harlesden community, serving local households, businesses, and organisations, we understand the trust placed in us not just to deliver beautiful flowers, but to operate with care, dignity, and social responsibility. Our approach to preventing modern slavery reflects our commitment to ethical standards, human rights, and to making a positive contribution to our neighbourhood and beyond.
