Modern Slavery Statement: Our Commitment at Flower Delivery Westcombe Park
Our Zero Tolerance Approach
At Flower Delivery Westcombe Park, we are firmly committed to operating with integrity, honesty, and respect for all individuals. As a trusted florist serving Westcombe Park households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards in ethical employment and sourcing. We have a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our organisation and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships to ensure exploitation has no place in any aspect of our operations.
Supplier Due Diligence
Our approach to tackling modern slavery includes robust supplier due diligence. Before engaging suppliers, we conduct comprehensive checks on their policies, practices, and compliance with legislation designed to prevent modern slavery. We seek assurances that our suppliers operate fairly, transparently, and in a manner that respects human rights. Our procurement processes require all suppliers to confirm that neither modern slavery nor human trafficking occur in their businesses or supply chains. Where risk is identified, we work closely with those suppliers to address concerns, making it clear that failure to adhere to our standards will result in termination of the business relationship.
Staff Training and Awareness
Our employees are central to the successful implementation of our anti-slavery policies. We provide ongoing training to ensure that all staff understand the risks of modern slavery and are able to identify potential signs of exploitation. This training covers both direct employment practices and the indirect risks associated with our supply chains. By equipping our team with knowledge and understanding, we foster a culture of vigilance and collective responsibility, reaffirming our zero tolerance stance at every level of the organisation.
Channels for Reporting Concerns
We encourage anyone who works for Flower Delivery Westcombe Park or interacts with our business – including suppliers and contractors – to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Clear internal channels are in place to ensure that issues can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously and thoroughly investigated, with appropriate actions taken if evidence of modern slavery is found. Our priority is to safeguard those at risk and ensure our workplace and supply chains are free from all forms of exploitation.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
To ensure our modern slavery commitment remains effective, we review and update our policies and practices annually. This review assesses the effectiveness of our due diligence, staff training, and supplier management processes. It also enables us to respond proactively to new risks and regulatory developments. We are dedicated to continuous improvement in upholding human rights and ethical standards across all aspects of our business operations.
Our Responsibility to the Westcombe Park Community
As a florist rooted in the Westcombe Park community, trusted by local households and businesses, we recognise that our actions have a broader impact. Our commitment to combatting modern slavery reflects our values and our role as a responsible business partner. We strive to be transparent about our efforts and to build trust through ongoing vigilance and ethical practice.
This statement is made in support of our ongoing dedication to eliminating modern slavery and human trafficking from our business and supply chains, and will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
