Modern Slavery Statement | Flower Delivery Lea Bridge

Our Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Lea Bridge, we take our responsibility towards combating modern slavery and human trafficking extremely seriously. As a trusted florist serving the residents and businesses of Lea Bridge, we recognise the importance of ethical operations within our workplace and throughout our supply chain. We are dedicated to ensuring that no form of modern slavery or human trafficking exists in any part of our business or partnerships.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to maintaining transparent practices that protect the dignity and rights of everyone involved in our business. This policy applies to all aspects of our operations, whether internal procedures or external collaborations with suppliers and service providers. Any breach of this policy will be taken seriously and may result in immediate termination of employment or business relationships.

Supplier Due Diligence

Recognising the pivotal role our supply chain plays in our commitment to ethical standards, we undertake comprehensive due diligence before entering into agreements with suppliers. We require our suppliers to confirm that they do not participate in, nor condone, any form of forced labour, slavery, human trafficking, or exploitation. Regular assessments and reviews are conducted to ensure ongoing compliance. Where necessary, we seek clarifications and take appropriate action if concerns arise about a supplier’s practices.

Staff Training and Awareness

Integral to our efforts is the proactive training and education of all Flower Delivery Lea Bridge staff. We ensure our staff understand what modern slavery is, how to identify signs of potential abuse, and the appropriate steps to take should they have concerns. These training initiatives are incorporated into our onboarding process and reinforced on a regular basis so that everyone is equipped to act responsibly and uphold our stringent ethical standards.

Reporting Channels

We want all staff and stakeholders to feel empowered to report any suspicions or concerns about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Clear, confidential reporting channels are in place so concerns can be raised promptly and appropriately handled. We take all reports seriously and commit to investigating them thoroughly and sensitively, ensuring that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect all involved.

Annual Policy Review

As part of our ongoing commitment, this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and currency. We take into account changes in legislation, evolving best practices, and feedback from staff and stakeholders. Our goal is to continuously improve our processes and strengthen our defences against any form of modern slavery or exploitation.
