At Flower Delivery West Green, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of honesty, integrity and care in delivering flowers to local households and businesses. As a trusted West Green florist, we are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to meet these responsibilities and ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not tolerated anywhere in our business.
We have a clear zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. This principle applies to our direct employees as well as all agents, contractors, suppliers and partners. Any violation of this policy is treated with the utmost seriousness, and immediate action is taken wherever necessary, which can include terminating relationships with those found to be non-compliant.
As a florist, a significant part of our supply chain includes growers, wholesalers, and packaging providers. We conduct ongoing due diligence to assess and manage risks related to modern slavery and ensure that our suppliers share our values. Suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with all applicable anti-slavery laws and our ethical sourcing standards. Where practical, we seek assurances through questionnaires, audits, supplier codes of conduct, and contractual agreements. Should any concerns arise regarding a supplier, prompt investigations are initiated, and corrective measures are implemented without delay.
We believe in proactively equipping our staff with the knowledge and tools to recognise and respond to risks of modern slavery. Staff at all levels are given guidance on what constitutes modern slavery, the signs to look out for, and how to raise concerns if they suspect unethical practices within our operations or supply chain. Training is incorporated into our induction process and refreshed as appropriate to keep everyone informed on current risks and responsibilities.
We foster a culture of openness and support for anyone who suspects or witnesses any wrongdoing. All employees and external parties can safely report instances or suspicions of modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly in line with our grievance procedures. Employees are regularly reminded of the importance of vigilance, and managers are trained to respond sensitively and effectively to any disclosures.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains up to date, effective, and reflective of best practices in combatting modern slavery. We continually monitor our activities, adapt our procedures and strengthen our approach as new risks or legislative requirements emerge. Our senior leadership is accountable for overseeing these commitments and reviewing our performance in this area each year.
Upholding ethical standards in our operations and supply chains is essential to the trust our community places in us. By taking a proactive stance against modern slavery, Flower Delivery West Green not only meets our legal and moral obligations, but we also reinforce our standing as a reliable and principled florist serving West Green’s households and businesses.
