Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Stanmore

Introduction

As a trusted florist serving the Stanmore community, Flower Delivery Stanmore is unwavering in its commitment to ethical business practices and the highest standards of integrity. We recognize our responsibility to both our local residents and business clients to ensure that modern slavery, in any form, is not present in our operations or our supply chain. This statement outlines our approach and ongoing actions to prevent, identify, and eliminate any risk of modern slavery or human trafficking within our business and supply networks.

Our Zero Tolerance Policy

Flower Delivery Stanmore maintains a strict zero tolerance policy against modern slavery and human trafficking. We categorically oppose all forms of forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, and exploitation, and we are fully committed to upholding the rights and dignity of every individual associated with our operations. This principle is embedded in our company values and guides every decision we make concerning our staff, suppliers, and service partners.

Supplier Due Diligence

We understand the importance of collaborating with suppliers who share our dedication to ethical conduct. Before entering into any agreement, we perform thorough due diligence on potential suppliers, including assessing their labour practices and policies on modern slavery. We require our suppliers to confirm their own compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and similar regulations. Where appropriate, we request documented assurances that they undertake regular audits of their own supply chains and workforce conditions.

Staff Training and Awareness

Continuous education is key to recognising and preventing instances of modern slavery. All staff at Flower Delivery Stanmore receive training to understand the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, and the importance of adhering to our zero tolerance policy. This ensures every team member knows their responsibility in safeguarding our workplace and understands the procedures for raising any concerns, whether internally or externally.

Reporting Channels and Support

We foster a culture of transparency and openness in which staff, suppliers, and the wider community are encouraged to report concerns about potential slavery or unethical conduct. Clear and confidential reporting channels are available, ensuring anyone can raise issues without fear of retaliation. Our management team carefully investigates all reports and takes appropriate action where necessary, upholding our unwavering commitment to ethical practices and human rights.

Ongoing Commitment and Annual Review

Our efforts to combat modern slavery are subject to constant review and improvement. Each year, this statement and our internal policies undergo a comprehensive review to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and responsive to new risks or changes in regulations. Insights gained from staff, suppliers, and the community contribute to our ongoing improvements. Where gaps or risks are identified, we address them immediately with corrective or preventative measures.

Serving Stanmore with Integrity

Our dedication to ethical practice is an extension of the trust that Stanmore’s residents and businesses place in Flower Delivery Stanmore. By maintaining the highest standards across all areas of our operation, we aim to set an example for social responsibility while delivering beautiful, meaningful floral arrangements to our valued customers. We believe this approach not only fulfills our legal obligations but also reflects our deep respect for the people we serve and the broader community.
