Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Tolworth
Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
At Flower Delivery Tolworth, we are committed to supporting ethical practices across all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist dedicated to local Tolworth households and businesses, we recognize our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation have no place in our organization or supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we take to address these crucial issues and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to combating modern slavery in every aspect of what we do.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Flower Delivery Tolworth operates under a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any form of slavery, servitude, coercion, or exploitation is wholly unacceptable and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. We believe that every individual has the right to fair treatment and safe, dignified work.
Supplier Due Diligence
To ensure our values are upheld across our supply chain, we undertake comprehensive due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. This process includes requiring suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation and to demonstrate their own efforts to eliminate such practices from their operations. Where necessary, we conduct additional risk assessments and engage directly with partners to address any areas of concern. Any supplier found to be non-compliant with our standards faces immediate review and, where appropriate, removal from our supply chain.
Staff Training and Awareness
Our staff are vital to the detection and prevention of modern slavery. We provide training to all employees to help them identify the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking within both our organization and the broader supply chain. This commitment ensures staff are equipped to recognize and respond to potential concerns appropriately and sensitively, empowering everyone to play a part in safeguarding our business against unethical practices.
Reporting Channels
We encourage staff, suppliers, and clients to raise any concerns or suspicions relating to modern slavery or human trafficking without fear of reprisal. We have clear internal reporting channels in place, ensuring that any issues raised are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and action is taken as necessary. This open approach helps us to respond quickly and transparently to any instances or risks identified.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and up to date with relevant legislation, industry guidance, and best practice. We are committed to continuous improvement in our policies and procedures, adapting to the evolving nature of the risks associated with modern slavery. We also undertake regular reviews of our supplier relationships, staff training processes, and reporting mechanisms to support this commitment.
Reflecting Our Responsibility to the Tolworth Community
At Flower Delivery Tolworth, we believe that ethical business practices underpin the trust our customers place in us. Serving the needs of households and businesses across Tolworth comes with an obligation to set and maintain the highest standards. We remain steadfast in our responsibility to fight modern slavery and foster an environment where respect, dignity, and transparency are at the heart of everything we do.
