Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
As a trusted florist in Upton Park serving local households and businesses, Florist Upton Park recognises its responsibility to play an active part in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business. We are dedicated to upholding ethical standards, ensuring respect for individuals' rights, and contributing to the well-being of our community.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Florist Upton Park maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, or exploitation within our business and supply chains. We firmly believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and any suspicion or evidence of such practices is taken extremely seriously and will result in immediate action.
Supplier Due Diligence
We understand our responsibility extends beyond our direct operations and includes the ethical standards of those we work with. Florist Upton Park requires all suppliers and partners to adhere to our values and to comply with all relevant anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. As part of our due diligence process, we:
- Request confirmation from all new suppliers that they have policies in place to combat modern slavery.
- Conduct periodic reviews of our existing supplier base, seeking assurances that their practices comply with our standards.
- Reserve the right to terminate relationships with any suppliers or partners found to be in breach of anti-slavery laws or our own policy.
Staff Training and Awareness
We provide ongoing training and resources to our staff so they are fully aware of the risks and indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our teams are educated on how to identify potential warning signs within our supply chain and workplace, ensuring they understand the steps to take should they have any concerns. This knowledge empowers our staff to act effectively and responsibly if issues arise.
Reporting Channels
To encourage a culture of transparency and accountability, Florist Upton Park has put mechanisms in place for staff and partners to report suspicions or concerns regarding modern slavery. All reports are treated seriously and confidentially, and can be made without fear of reprisal. We investigate any allegations promptly and take appropriate remedial action where necessary.

Our Modern Slavery Statement, related policy documents, and due diligence procedures are reviewed annually to ensure their effectiveness and suitability. We are committed to continuous improvement and regularly assess whether further steps can be taken to reduce the risks of modern slavery within our business and among the wider community.
