Modern Slavery Statement – Denmark Hill Flowers

Our Zero Tolerance Approach

At Denmark Hill Flowers, we recognise our ethical and legal responsibility in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. As a trusted florist serving the local Denmark Hill community—households and businesses alike—we are fully committed to ensuring that there is no form of modern slavery, human trafficking, or forced labour in any part of our operations or supply chains.

Supplier Due Diligence

We understand that many forms of exploitation can occur within the complex networks of global and local supply chains. To mitigate these risks, Denmark Hill Flowers operates a rigorous supplier due diligence process. Before entering into partnerships with our suppliers, we require confirmation of their compliance with relevant modern slavery legislation and ethical standards. We regularly assess our suppliers, requesting documentation or certifications where necessary, and we expect them to have their own policies and training in place to prevent exploitation within their operations. Our contracts with suppliers include clear clauses allowing us to terminate relationships if any involvement in, or tolerance of, modern slavery is identified.

Staff Awareness and Training

It is vital that everyone at Denmark Hill Flowers is aware of how to recognise, prevent, and respond to the risks of modern slavery. All new employees undergo induction training that includes information on our modern slavery policies, the signs of exploitation, and their personal responsibilities in addressing concerns. Ongoing training and guidance are provided so every member of staff is equipped to raise issues safely, confidentially, and without fear of reprisal. We foster an open culture where discussing concerns about ethical conduct is encouraged and supported at all levels of our business.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We have clear and accessible reporting channels in place to ensure everyone connected with Denmark Hill Flowers—staff, suppliers, and the wider community—can raise concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical practices. Allegations or suspicions can be reported confidentially to senior management, who are trained to investigate all reports promptly and thoroughly. We reassure all parties that retaliation or victimisation as a result of speaking up will not be tolerated. Where necessary, we will involve appropriate external authorities to support investigations and remedies.

Commitment to Annual Review

Our Modern Slavery Statement and supporting practices are reviewed annually to ensure their ongoing effectiveness and relevance. Each year, we assess new and emerging risks, update our procedures, and report on progress made in addressing modern slavery in our business and supply chains. This process includes reviewing feedback from staff, suppliers, and stakeholders, as well as monitoring legislative developments and good practice guidance.

Reflecting Our Responsibility

Denmark Hill Flowers is proud to serve the Denmark Hill area with integrity and respect. Our stance on modern slavery reflects our wider commitment to being a responsible business and maintaining the trust of local households and businesses. By seeking to eradicate exploitation from every part of our operations, we aim to uphold the highest standards of care—for our staff, our customers, and our entire community.
