As a trusted florist serving Noak Hill’s households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and operations. This statement details our ongoing commitment to identifying, preventing, and addressing all forms of modern slavery associated with our company.

Our Zero Tolerance Approach

We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to all forms of forced or bonded labour, servitude, and exploitation. We expect every individual, team member, and business partner connected to Flower Delivery Noak Hill to share our commitment to upholding human rights and maintaining fair, safe, and respectful working environments throughout our operations and supply chains.

Supplier Due Diligence

Recognising the potential risks within supply chains, Flower Delivery Noak Hill takes proactive steps to assess and monitor our suppliers. Before entering into partnerships, we evaluate our suppliers' policies, practices, and records to ensure alignment with our own values and legal obligations around modern slavery. Suppliers are required to provide credible evidence of their compliance with anti-slavery standards. Ongoing reviews and assessments form part of our regular supplier management processes, helping us mitigate risks and ensure continual compliance.

Staff Training and Awareness

We are committed to ensuring that all our employees are aware of the risks of modern slavery, both within our operations and the broader industry. Staff members receive guidance and training enabling them to detect warning signs, understand their responsibilities, and act if they suspect unethical practices, either internally or within the supply chain. This empowers our team to contribute actively to the prevention and detection of modern slavery.

Reporting Channels and Support

Flower Delivery Noak Hill is dedicated to fostering a culture where concerns about modern slavery can be raised and addressed openly and safely. We provide clear internal reporting channels for all staff and partners. Concerns will always be treated with seriousness and confidentiality, and individuals raising concerns can do so without fear of repercussions. We undertake prompt, fair investigations into all reported suspicions, taking appropriate corrective action where necessary.

Ongoing Review and Continuous Improvement

We believe that vigilance and regular evaluation are essential in our efforts against modern slavery. Our policies, procedures, and training are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and are up to date with evolving best practice and legislation. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders is welcomed as part of this review process, supporting continuous improvement in all areas of our business.
