At Leyton Florist, we recognise our responsibility not only as a business but as a trusted florist serving the Leyton community’s households and businesses. We are committed to doing all we can to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and throughout our supply chain. Modern slavery is a grave violation of fundamental human rights, and we take active steps to ensure this has no place in any part of our business.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This applies to our own operations, our direct business relationships, and our entire supply chain. Every member of our team is expected to uphold these standards, and we seek to partner only with suppliers who share our values. Any indication or suspicion of modern slavery is treated with utmost seriousness and will result in prompt action, including termination of contracts and reporting to authorities where required.
Leyton Florist is committed to working with honest and responsible suppliers. We conduct thorough due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. This process includes:
We expect all our suppliers to pass on these requirements to their own suppliers, thus reinforcing good practice throughout the supply chain.
Our staff are trained to understand what constitutes modern slavery and how to spot its indicators. This training empowers employees—from florists to delivery drivers and administrative staff—to identify and report any suspicions. We regularly update our training resources and ensure that new team members receive relevant guidance as part of their induction. Ongoing training sessions reinforce our zero-tolerance policy and keep this important issue front of mind for all staff.
Leyton Florist ensures that easy and confidential channels are available for staff, suppliers, and the wider community to raise concerns about possible instances of modern slavery. Reports can be made without fear of retaliation, and all allegations are investigated discreetly and thoroughly. We foster an environment where speaking up is encouraged, believing that vigilance at every level is crucial to preventing abuse.
Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is subject to ongoing scrutiny and annual review. Each year, we evaluate the effectiveness of our policies and procedures, considering any legal, regulatory, or operational changes. This review ensures we continue to improve how we identify, prevent, and address risks of modern slavery within our business and supply chains.
Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects Leyton Florist’s dedication to operating with integrity and care. We value the trust placed in us by local families and businesses, and we are resolute in our efforts to ensure our flowers, gifts, and services are delivered free from exploitation. We believe this approach not only fulfils our legal obligations but upholds the values that make us a respected part of the local community.
