As a trusted florist in Dagenham, Flowers Dagenham is committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity. We understand the responsibility we have to our local community—both the households we brighten with our arrangements and the businesses we serve. Modern slavery, which includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking, is a deeply concerning global issue. Flowers Dagenham adopts a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and strives to ensure that it has no place in our operations or supply chains.
Flowers Dagenham maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery of any kind. This principle underpins every aspect of our operation, from internal conduct to the selection and ongoing evaluation of our suppliers. We expect all those who work with us, directly or indirectly, to share this commitment.
We recognise that our supply chain is a critical area of risk in relation to modern slavery. As part of our due diligence, Flowers Dagenham undertakes thorough assessments of all suppliers before entering into formal relationships. We require all partners to confirm their own adherence to anti-slavery principles, including providing evidence of fair working conditions and ethical sourcing practices. These requirements form part of our contractual agreements, ensuring our values are reflected throughout our supply chain.
We believe that education is vital in the fight against modern slavery. All Flowers Dagenham staff, from florists to management, participate in training designed to help them recognise the signs of exploitation and understand our policies. This training is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect evolving risks and regulatory requirements, ensuring our team is always equipped to respond appropriately.
We encourage everyone at Flowers Dagenham, as well as our customers and third parties, to speak up if they suspect unethical practices or breaches of our policies. Multiple anonymous and confidential reporting channels are in place, and we make it clear that any concerns raised will be treated with the utmost seriousness. Retaliation against those who report suspicions in good faith is strictly prohibited.
Flowers Dagenham conducts an annual review of our modern slavery statement, policies, and procedures to assure their ongoing effectiveness. We seek opportunities to improve our practices by staying abreast of changes in the regulatory environment, adapting to feedback from staff and partners, and responding proactively to identified risks. Our commitment is not static—it evolves as we learn and as the challenges in combating modern slavery develop.
As a florist rooted in the Dagenham community, serving both local households and businesses, Flowers Dagenham recognises the importance of leading by example. Our robust modern slavery policy is one way we uphold our responsibilities as a trusted local business, ensuring our actions align with the values and standards expected by those we serve.
This statement has been approved by the management of Flowers Dagenham and will be reviewed and updated annually to reflect our ongoing commitment to combatting modern slavery in all areas of our business and supply chains.
