Modern Slavery Policy at Flower Delivery Pentonville

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Pentonville, we are wholly committed to ensuring that all aspects of our operations are conducted ethically, with respect for human rights and dignity. Modern slavery, encompassing slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking, has no place in our business or our supply chains. As a trusted florist in Pentonville, serving local households and businesses, we recognize our responsibility to safeguard people and uphold the highest standards of integrity and fairness.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy is embedded in all of our business practices, from our day-to-day operations to our strategic decision-making. We expect all our employees, suppliers, and business partners to share in our commitment to preventing abuse and exploitation in any form. Any identified breach of our policy is addressed swiftly and decisively.

Supplier Due Diligence

Flower Delivery Pentonville conducts due diligence on its key suppliers and service providers to ensure they comply with our standards against modern slavery. We prioritise sourcing from reputable suppliers who can demonstrate their own commitment to ethical conduct. As part of our selection and ongoing review processes, we review suppliers’ labour practices, employment policies, and related certifications to mitigate any risk of modern slavery occurring within our supply chains. Should there be any concern or doubt about a supplier’s practices, we will investigate fully and implement corrective action as necessary, including reconsidering those business relationships if required.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe that empowering our staff is vital to upholding our standards. All team members at Flower Delivery Pentonville undergo regular training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand the appropriate actions to take should any concerns arise. Staff are encouraged to stay vigilant both within our premises and when interacting with suppliers, ensuring our workplace and partner environments remain free from exploitation and abuse.

We are committed to an open culture where concerns about suspected modern slavery can be raised without fear of reprisal. Employees, suppliers, and members of the public are encouraged to report any suspicions confidentially through our established internal channels. We treat all reports seriously and investigate each one in accordance with our procedures, taking appropriate action in every instance.
