As a leading florist in Homerton, Flowers Homerton is deeply committed to acting with integrity and responsibility throughout our business operations. We recognise the duty we hold, both to our team and to our valued customers across local households and businesses, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in any form within our organisation and wider supply chain.
Flowers Homerton maintains a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We are unequivocally opposed to any practices that exploit individuals or undermine their dignity, and we are fully aligned with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and associated ethical guidance. We strive to create an environment where every team member and supplier is treated with respect, and fairness underpins every aspect of our operations.
We recognise that the risks of modern slavery are not only internal but may also exist within the supply chain, especially as we source flowers, plants, and related products from both domestic and international growers. Our procurement process includes a thorough assessment of potential and existing suppliers. We require suppliers to acknowledge our ethical standards, agree to our Code of Conduct, and confirm compliance with anti-slavery regulations. Where possible, we favour longstanding supplier relationships and prioritise those demonstrating transparent employment practices. We review and monitor our suppliers regularly to ensure ongoing adherence to our high expectations.
We believe that proactive education is central to the fight against modern slavery. All Flowers Homerton staff receive, as part of their induction and ongoing development, training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes guidance on identifying vulnerable individuals, understanding company policies, and knowing how to respond if they have concerns. We encourage open conversation and a shared vigilance to protect the rights and welfare of everyone connected with our business.
Flowers Homerton provides a safe and confidential way for staff, customers, or suppliers to raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices. We promote a culture where employees feel empowered to report suspicions without fear of reprisal. Any disclosures are investigated thoroughly and, where necessary, appropriate action is taken to address and remedy the situation.
We recognise that ongoing vigilance is required to uphold our zero tolerance approach. Therefore, this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our leadership team to ensure it remains effective and reflective of any changes in legislation or our trading environment. We also use these reviews to identify opportunities for further strengthening our processes and to reinforce awareness and understanding among staff and suppliers.
Serving the Homerton community as a trusted florist, we understand our responsibility extends beyond beautiful bouquets. We are committed to safeguarding the wellbeing of everyone involved in our supply chain and ensuring our business remains a force for good. We thank our customers, staff, and suppliers for supporting our values and encourage ongoing dialogue as we collectively contribute to a fairer and safer industry.
