Modern Slavery Statement from Flower Delivery South Norwood
Our Zero Tolerance Approach
At Flower Delivery South Norwood, we strongly oppose modern slavery, human trafficking, and all forms of forced labour. As a responsible florist, serving the households and businesses of South Norwood, we believe that everyone in our local and global supply chains deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. We are committed to operating under a zero tolerance policy regarding slavery and trafficking, both within our own operations and throughout our network of suppliers.
Supplier Due Diligence
Flower Delivery South Norwood recognises that ethical business practices begin with scrutiny of our own suppliers. We conduct background checks and rigorous due diligence before establishing relationships with new suppliers. Our processes include requesting policies and documentation related to employment practices, workforce welfare, and compliance with applicable modern slavery laws and regulations. Where possible, we also request details on suppliers' own monitoring and ethical sourcing practices, ensuring that our supply chain is free from modern slavery risks.
Staff Training and Awareness
Recognising the crucial role our staff play in identifying and preventing modern slavery, we provide regular training sessions and guidance. Our team is equipped with the knowledge to identify signs of exploitation, understand the importance of reporting concerns, and champion our zero tolerance policy. Training materials are updated annually to reflect changes in legislation and best practices, ensuring all employees are aware of their responsibilities in maintaining an ethical workplace.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage a culture of openness and accountability at Flower Delivery South Norwood. Any suspicions or concerns regarding potential modern slavery or unethical labour practices, whether within our business or in our supply chain, can be reported through established internal channels. Employees can raise concerns with management or through confidential procedures, and we guarantee that all reports will be investigated thoroughly and fairly. We assure our staff and suppliers that no one reporting concerns in good faith will suffer any detriment.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We review our modern slavery statement and associated policies on an annual basis. Each review assesses the effectiveness of our procedures, incorporates findings from internal audits and staff feedback, and identifies opportunities for improvement. We remain committed to adapting our actions as necessary and upholding the highest ethical standards in our business conduct.
