Modern Slavery Statement - Flower Delivery St Paul's Cray
Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
At Flower Delivery St Paul's Cray, we stand firmly against all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. As a leading florist serving households and businesses in the St Paul's Cray community, we acknowledge the vital role we play in upholding ethical practices throughout our operations and supply chains. Our zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery is reflected in every aspect of our business as we strive to set high standards for ourselves and those we collaborate with.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We operate under a clear zero tolerance policy for modern slavery. This policy applies to all employees, agency staff, contractors, and anyone who acts on our behalf. We expect all our suppliers and business partners to share and uphold these values, ensuring the dignity and rights of every individual are respected.
Supplier Due Diligence and Risk Management
Our commitment extends through our entire supply chain. We conduct thorough due diligence to evaluate and monitor suppliers for compliance with labour laws, ethical employment standards, and our modern slavery policy. This includes:
- Requesting information about suppliers’ own anti-slavery measures and policies
- Assessing supplier risk profiles based on their location, industry, and operational standards
- Ensuring contractual obligations for ethical conduct are in place
- Periodically reviewing supplier performance and taking action where non-compliance is identified
Staff Training and Awareness
We recognise that ongoing education is crucial in the fight against modern slavery. All members of staff, from floral designers to delivery drivers, receive training to understand the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our training programmes are updated regularly to equip our team with the skills and knowledge necessary to identify and respond to potential risks, both within our own operations and throughout our supply chain.
Reporting Channels
To ensure we maintain a transparent and accountable environment, we have established clear internal channels for confidential reporting of concerns related to modern slavery or unethical conduct. We encourage all staff, suppliers, and third parties to speak up without fear of retaliation if they suspect any practices that do not align with our values and policies. All reports are investigated thoroughly, and appropriate action is taken to remedy any issues identified.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually and updated as necessary to reflect legislative changes, evolving industry best practices, and feedback from stakeholders. We regularly assess the effectiveness of the measures we have implemented, and we are committed to continuous improvement in our procedures, training, and supplier management.
Serving St Paul's Cray with Integrity
As a trusted florist for the St Paul's Cray community, serving both local households and businesses, we recognise our wider social responsibility. We believe our efforts towards eradicating modern slavery are a vital part of building a safer, fairer, and more ethical local economy. Flower Delivery St Paul's Cray remains dedicated to upholding these values and encouraging others in our community to do the same.
