As a trusted florist serving the heart of Hackney Marshes, we are deeply mindful of our responsibilities to our local community and the broader global society. At Hackney Marshes Flowers, we are committed to the highest ethical standards and the eradication of modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chains. This statement outlines our current policies and actions in respect of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and our ongoing determination to act as a responsible and principled business partner to households and enterprises throughout Hackney Marshes.
Hackney Marshes Flowers operates a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. We believe everyone involved in our business, directly or indirectly, should be treated with dignity and respect. This commitment underpins all our business relationships and is fundamental to the way we conduct ourselves every day. We categorically do not engage in or knowingly support modern slavery, and we expect the same steadfast commitment from our suppliers and partners.
We take active steps to ensure our supply chains are free from modern slavery and exploitation. This includes conducting appropriate checks and due diligence on all key suppliers, particularly those in regions or sectors where risks may be heightened. We require that all suppliers and service providers comply with our stance on ethical employment, including documented evidence of fair working conditions and appropriate labour standards. If any supplier fails to uphold these principles, we will take decisive action, which may include termination of the business relationship.
We understand that awareness is central to the fight against modern slavery. All Hackney Marshes Flowers staff receive initial and periodic training to recognise signs of modern slavery and understand our policies and procedures. Through regular briefings and access to up-to-date resources, our team is empowered and supported to identify risks, handle issues sensitively, and uphold our ethical commitments in every aspect of their work, from procurement to customer service.
We provide clear internal channels for staff and stakeholders to raise concerns about potential breaches of our modern slavery policy confidentially and without fear of reprisal. All reports are taken seriously and thoroughly investigated, with appropriate action taken in every case. We view openness and transparency as central to building a culture of ethical responsibility, and we encourage our team to speak up if they see or suspect wrongdoing.
This modern slavery statement and all related policies are reviewed annually to ensure they remain up to date, effective, and able to respond to any changes in the ways we operate or the contexts in which our suppliers operate. We are committed to continual improvement and to deepening our understanding of slavery risks as our business grows and evolves.
Hackney Marshes Flowers is proud to play a positive role in our community and committed to being part of the solution in the ongoing fight against modern slavery. Our zero tolerance approach, vigilant supplier management, and dedication to staff training and support reflect our promise to act as a trustworthy and ethical florist for every household and business we serve in Hackney Marshes. We will continue to champion these values as we move forward, reviewing and strengthening our practices year by year.
