Dalston Flowers is deeply committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Dalston, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place within our business or supply chain. This statement sets out our ongoing commitment to preventing exploitation and the steps we take to ensure that our work and that of our suppliers is conducted with integrity and respect for human rights.
Dalston Flowers maintains a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We expressly prohibit forced labour, servitude, and any practices that involve the exploitation of individuals within our operations and among our partners. This policy is embedded at every level of our organisation and is a non-negotiable aspect of how we conduct business.
We recognise that our responsibility extends throughout our supply chain. To this end, Dalston Flowers implements rigorous due diligence procedures with every new and existing supplier. We assess their compliance with statutory obligations and ethical labour practices, seeking clear evidence that they too are committed to eliminating slavery from their operations. We expect all suppliers to adhere to our ethical standards and require written confirmation of their compliance. Should a supplier be found to be non-compliant, we will seek immediate remediation and reserve the right to terminate the business relationship.
All Dalston Flowers staff receive guidance and training to help them recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand the vital importance of reporting concerns. Our induction materials outline the risks associated with modern slavery, methods for identifying suspicious activity, and our internal protocols. Ongoing training ensures our team remains vigilant, informed, and empowered to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.
We foster an open culture where concerns around modern slavery can be reported swiftly and confidentially. Staff and external partners are encouraged to come forward if they suspect any inappropriate or unlawful conduct. Reports are taken seriously and are promptly investigated by senior management. We have internal escalation channels in place, with all reports handled sensitively to protect the identity and welfare of whistleblowers.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually as part of Dalston Flowers’ ongoing ethical compliance programme. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies and adjust processes as required to reflect updated risks or legislative changes. Our commitment to continuous improvement ensures that we remain alert and proactive in combating modern slavery throughout our business and supply chain.
As a florist at the heart of Dalston, we take seriously the trust placed in us by local households and businesses. We believe that a truly responsible business is one that safeguards the dignity, safety, and rights of every person involved in bringing our flowers to our community. Dalston Flowers will continue to advocate for ethical practice and work diligently to prevent modern slavery in all its forms.
