Modern Slavery Statement – Flower Delivery Herne Hill

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Herne Hill, Flower Delivery Herne Hill recognises our ethical responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. We are committed to promoting fair and ethical working practices across all areas of our business and supply chain. Our modern slavery statement outlines the steps we are taking to prevent any form of slavery or exploitation within our organisation and among our suppliers.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Flower Delivery Herne Hill operates under a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We do not condone, support, or knowingly engage with any organisation or individual involved in these practices. This policy extends throughout all aspects of our business, ensuring that we uphold the highest ethical standards at every level.

Supplier Due Diligence

We understand that our supply chain plays a critical role in ensuring modern slavery is not present within our business. As a florist, our suppliers provide us with flowers, packaging, and other goods. We conduct due diligence checks on our suppliers to ensure they comply with all relevant laws regarding labour, employment, and ethical sourcing. This includes only working with suppliers who demonstrate a clear commitment to eradicating modern slavery and treating their workers fairly and with respect. Contracts with our suppliers require adherence to these principles, and any breach will result in immediate review and potential termination of business relationships.

Employee Training and Awareness

All staff at Flower Delivery Herne Hill undertake training to understand the key risks and red flags associated with modern slavery and human trafficking. This training is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect the latest information and ensures our team is equipped to identify, prevent, and respond to any signs of unethical practices within our operations and those of our suppliers. Creating a culture of awareness and vigilance is a cornerstone of our approach.

Reporting Channels

We encourage any staff member, contractor, or supplier who suspects or becomes aware of unethical or illegal practices within our business or supply chain to report their concerns immediately. We have confidential internal channels for reporting, and we are committed to taking all reports seriously. Any issues raised will be investigated thoroughly and appropriate action will be taken in line with our zero tolerance policy.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We believe ongoing review and improvement are essential to ensuring our modern slavery measures remain effective. Each year, we review and update this statement and our internal practices to reflect developments in legislation, industry best practice, and the evolving needs of our community and customers. Where necessary, we adapt our policies to improve the prevention, detection, and eradication of modern slavery in all its forms.
