Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Worcester Park
Our Zero Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery
Flower Delivery Worcester Park recognises modern slavery as a grave violation of human rights. As a responsible and trusted florist serving the Worcester Park community, we maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within any part of our business or supply chain. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships, upholding our duty to local households and businesses.
Supplier Due Diligence
It is vital to ensure that our suppliers and partners share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. Whenever sourcing flowers, packaging, or ancillary services, we conduct thorough due diligence to assess and address risks of forced labour, servitude, and exploitation. Supplier reviews include requests for their own Modern Slavery Statements and clear evidence of responsible labour practices. New and existing suppliers are regularly screened so that we work only with reputable organisations who meet our expectations on ethical conduct.
Staff Training and Awareness
At Flower Delivery Worcester Park, every team member has a role to play in upholding our responsibilities. All our staff receive training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, both within the workplace and upstream in the supply chain. Our training ensures that employees understand the legal and moral implications, as well as the company’s procedures for reporting and addressing any concerns. This ongoing education fosters a vigilant and compassionate workforce dedicated to remaining alert to potential risks.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We make it clear to all employees how to raise concerns, confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Procedures are in place for staff to report suspicions or evidence of modern slavery, whether relating to suppliers, contractors, or internal practices. These channels are designed to encourage openness and transparency, promoting accountability at every level of our business. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly, ensuring a robust response to any potential issues.
Annual Review and Policy Improvement
To ensure the continued effectiveness of our approach to modern slavery, we review this statement and all related policies annually. This process includes a re-assessment of supplier risks, evaluation of staff training needs, and a review of reporting outcomes. The annual review enables us to adapt to changing circumstances and implement improvements where necessary, continually strengthening our efforts against modern slavery.
Our Responsibility to Worcester Park
As a local florist, our reputation is built on trust and community values. Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery reflects our duty to act as a responsible business for the households and enterprises we serve. Flower Delivery Worcester Park stands united with the wider community against exploitation, pledging vigilance, transparency, and integrity in everything we do.
