Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Brockley

Introduction

At Flower Delivery Brockley, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted Brockley florist serving local households and businesses. We are unwavering in our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we have taken and continue to take to ensure slavery and human trafficking do not occur in our business or supply chains.

Our Zero Tolerance Policy

Flower Delivery Brockley operates a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, and all forms of forced or compulsory labour. We are dedicated to promoting respect for human rights and strictly prohibit any practices that contravene this stance. All staff, suppliers, and contractors are expected to share our commitment to treating every individual with dignity and respect.

Supplier Due Diligence

We understand that vigilance within our supply chains is crucial. Flower Delivery Brockley conducts due diligence on all suppliers before allowing them to become a preferred partner. This process involves evaluating the risk of slavery and human trafficking and reviewing the ethical standards within their businesses. Where necessary, we require suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery laws and ensure transparency throughout our supply network. Ongoing assessments of existing suppliers are also undertaken to ensure continued adherence to our anti-slavery standards.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe that knowledge is fundamental in preventing any form of modern slavery from taking root in our organisation or supply chain. Flower Delivery Brockley ensures that all staff members receive appropriate training on the risks, indicators, and reporting protocols related to modern slavery and human trafficking. This equips our team to recognise potential issues and feel confident in knowing the correct steps to protect those at risk.

Reporting Channels and Response

Effective reporting channels are in place so that any concerns related to modern slavery can be raised swiftly and confidentially. Our staff are encouraged to speak up if they suspect any unlawful practices or unethical behaviours, either within our operations or in our supply chain partners. We treat all reports with the utmost seriousness and confidentiality, ensuring prompt and thorough investigations, and taking appropriate corrective action as needed to resolve any concerns.

Annual Review

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and relevance. During each review, we assess our policies, practices, and supply chain risks, adjusting our approach where necessary based on outcomes, legal developments, and best practices. This culture of continuous improvement reflects our dedication to upholding the highest ethical standards.

Flower Delivery Brockley’s commitment to combatting modern slavery is central to our reputation as a reliable local florist. As a business that values the trust placed in us by the Brockley community, we are resolute in our efforts to maintain transparency, protect human rights, and ensure our operations and supply chains remain free from the scourge of modern slavery and human trafficking.
