Hackney Florist is unwavering in its zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. As a respected provider of floral arrangements to households and businesses across Hackney, we recognise both our moral duty and our legal obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We are dedicated to upholding human rights and maintaining the highest ethical standards in our operations and supply chains, continually striving to prevent any instance of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation.
We understand that our commitment to tackling modern slavery extends far beyond our immediate business. To that end, Hackney Florist performs rigorous due diligence on all suppliers, contractors, and third-party partners. We scrutinise supply chains to ensure that all flowers, plants, materials, and related products are sourced responsibly and ethically.
Our supplier assessments consider practices around recruitment, working conditions, wage payments, and the rights of workers. We only engage with suppliers who share our values and are able to demonstrate robust policies and procedures to guard against modern slavery and human trafficking in their own operations.
We recognise that the vigilance and knowledge of our staff are crucial in the identification and prevention of modern slavery. Hackney Florist provides ongoing training to all employees, including managers and delivery teams, to help them identify signs of exploitation and know the appropriate steps to take if concerns arise. Our training sessions are tailored to our business and reflect real-world scenarios, reinforcing our zero tolerance culture and ensuring best practice is consistently followed.
We encourage openness and transparency within our team and across our supply chains. Staff are educated about the signs of modern slavery and informed of the mechanisms in place to report any suspicions or concerns. Employees are reassured that they will not suffer any negative consequences for reporting potential issues in good faith. In addition, we work with suppliers to reinforce this reporting culture, making it clear that concerns about unethical practices can and should be brought forward at any time.
Hackney Florist is committed to the continual assessment and improvement of our policies and procedures. We conduct a comprehensive annual review of our modern slavery statement to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. This review takes into account changes in legislation, emerging risks, and any feedback received from staff or stakeholders. Where necessary, we act swiftly to strengthen our approach and address any identified weaknesses.
As a trusted florist serving Hackney's households and local businesses, we appreciate our role in setting a positive example and protecting our community. We hold ourselves accountable not just in terms of compliance, but as a cornerstone of trust in our neighbourhood. Our modern slavery statement clearly reflects our values and the responsibility we proudly uphold in delivering ethical, honest, and responsible services to all.
