Introduction
As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in Roehampton, Flower Delivery Roehampton recognises our responsibility to actively combat modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the measures we have implemented to ensure that our operations and supply chain remain free from any form of modern slavery and exploitative practices. This statement aligns with our values of integrity, respect and care for those we work with and serve.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and child labour. No employee, supplier or business partner is permitted, under any circumstances, to engage in or support such practices. We expect every individual and organisation associated with Flower Delivery Roehampton to uphold the highest ethical standards in all dealings and interactions.
Supplier Due Diligence
Our supply chain is an essential aspect of our business and our ability to serve the Roehampton community. We conduct rigorous due diligence when establishing supplier relationships, ensuring that all our suppliers comply with relevant legislation and adhere to ethical standards that reflect our own. This includes requesting information on working conditions, employment rights, and policies in place to prevent modern slavery within their own operations and supply chains. We regularly review these assessments and reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers found to be in breach of our standards.
Staff Awareness and Training
Our staff receive ongoing training to identify, prevent, and report any suspected incidents of modern slavery. This training covers recognising signs of exploitation and understanding the procedures to follow when concerns arise. By equipping our team with this knowledge, we maintain vigilance and foster a culture of transparency and responsibility throughout our business.
Reporting Channels
Flower Delivery Roehampton provides clear and safe channels for staff, suppliers and stakeholders to voice concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical conduct, without fear of retaliatory action. All reports are treated seriously and are investigated promptly and confidentially. We encourage anyone connected to our business – internally or externally – to report unethical behaviour or practices they suspect to be linked to modern slavery.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We are committed to continuous improvement. This Modern Slavery Statement and our internal policies are reviewed annually to assess their effectiveness and relevance. If gaps or risks are identified, we implement robust corrective actions and monitor progress to ensure our standards are maintained. We stay informed about best practices and legal requirements to keep our approach current and effective.
Our Responsibility to the Roehampton Community
As a reputable florist serving local households and businesses, we understand that our commitment to ethical business goes beyond compliance. It is our duty to protect the well-being and rights of all individuals involved in our business and supply chains. Through these measures, Flower Delivery Roehampton strives to serve the Roehampton community with integrity, respect and a dedication to eradicating modern slavery in all its forms.
