Flowers by Post UK is committed to operating responsibly and ethically in all areas of our business. We recognise the importance of maintaining integrity within our operations and supply chain, ensuring that no form of exploitation or forced labour is involved at any stage. As a UK-based florist serving households, businesses and event organisers nationwide, we take pride in upholding high ethical standards that reflect our respect for people, the environment and our customers.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and any form of exploitation. Our policy applies to all employees, suppliers, partners and contractors. We expect everyone we work with to share this commitment to fair labour, safe working conditions and respect for human rights.
Suppliers who fail to comply with these principles will face immediate review and may have their contracts suspended or terminated. Ethical integrity is non-negotiable at Flowers by Post UK.
We conduct thorough due diligence before partnering with any supplier. Our sourcing process includes verification of fair employment practices, legal compliance and transparency in operations. We prioritise UK growers and Fairtrade-certified international farms that demonstrate responsible practices and a commitment to workers’ welfare.
Suppliers are required to confirm that they do not engage in forced, child or bonded labour and that their staff receive fair wages and safe working conditions. Regular checks and reviews ensure continued compliance with our ethical standards.
Our team members receive training to understand the risks of modern slavery and how to identify potential warning signs within the supply chain. Awareness is key to prevention, and every employee plays a part in upholding our ethical responsibilities. Procurement staff, in particular, are trained to monitor supplier relationships closely and report concerns immediately.
We maintain clear, confidential reporting systems that allow employees and suppliers to raise any concerns related to unethical behaviour or modern slavery. Reports are investigated promptly, and corrective action is taken when necessary. We encourage openness, ensuring that anyone who raises a concern is supported and protected from retaliation.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and aligned with evolving laws and best practices. We continuously refine our policies, strengthen supplier audits and develop staff awareness to safeguard integrity across all aspects of our business.
As a trusted flower delivery service, we have a moral and social responsibility to operate fairly and transparently. By promoting ethical sourcing and safe working environments, Flowers by Post UK ensures that every bouquet delivered represents not just beauty, but also respect, fairness and responsibility.
